Layering Love Live Laugh Love Hearts |
A card I created for the 2nd Annual Ultimate Pink Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products.

Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Blushing Bride Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Fresh Fig Cardstock
- 3-1/2" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 3-1/2" square of white crackle patterns on Berry Burst design from Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack
Pick out a medium solid heart from the Hearts & Stars Elements. Press one side of the heart firmly into the Berry Burst Ink Pad a couple of times. Carefully remove the heart and set it aside to let it dry.
Pick out a medium outline heart from the Hearts & Stars Elements. Press one side of the heart firmly into the Blushing Bride Ink Pad a couple of times. Carefully remove the heart and set it aside to let it dry.
Mount the tiny heart image from the Layering Love Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Fresh Fig Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the Fresh Fig rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Adhere the stamped Fresh Fig rectangle to the front of the Blushing Bride card.
Pick out the straight sided heart framelit from the Sweet & Sassy Framelits that cuts out a straight sided heart that is 3-3/16" wide. Place the Berry Burst Color Theory Designer Paper on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform at its highest setting on the Big Shot. Place the straight sided heart framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the designer paper heart to the card front so the left side is about 1/8" in from the left side of the Fresh Fig layer and about 1/2" from the top of the Fresh Fig layer.
Mount the "Live Laugh Love" stamp from the Layering Love Set on Block D. Ink up the entire stamp with the Blushing Bride Ink Pad. Leave the stamp on your work surface inky rubber side up. Rub a Sponge Dauber across the surface of the Fresh Fig Ink Pad. Then, lightly dab the Sponge Dauber onto the "Live" and the tops of the Ls in "Laugh" and "Love." Rub another Sponge Dauber across the surface of the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Then, lightly dab the Sponge Dauber onto the "ove" in "Love" and the "gh" in "Laugh." Breathe onto the stamp to moisten the inks. Stamp in the center of the white square.
Tip: You can rinse the Sponge Daubers clean by running them under water and letting them air dry. They will stain, but will be clean and able to be used with other colors in the future.
Pick out the straight sided heart framelit from the Sweet & Sassy Framelits that cuts out a straight sided heart that is 3" wide. Place the stamped sentiment on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the straight sided heart framelit on top so it is centered over the sentiment. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Without adhering, lay the sentiment heart on the card front to get an idea of where it is going to lay. It should be about 1/4" in from the right side of the Fresh Fig layer and about 1" from the top of the Fresh Fig layer. Carefully peel up a scalloped circle that is 1-3/4" across from the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers. Carefully adhere the vinyl sticker to the card front so it will peek out from under the white sentiment heart only the lower right side. When happy with the placement of the sticker, adhere the white sentiment heart in place.
One at a time, carefully peel up three little scallop flower circles from the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers and adhere them in a row across the bottom left corner of the Fresh Fig layer.
Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the colored hearts one inside the other in the upper right of the white sentiment heart.
