Sweet Conversations Floral Heart |
P retty Valentine's card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Real Red Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from of watercolor wash pink design from Sweet Talk 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 1" x 3-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1" x 3" from Real Red Cardstock
Pick out the large, open heart die from the dies included with the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the vertical designer paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered side to side and is about 1-1/8" from the top. Run through the machine. Keep both pieces!
Put the cut out designer paper heart inside the embossing folder included with the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder so it is centered inside the heart in the center of the folder. Carefully put the large rectangle of designer paper inside the embossing folder so it is centered around the heart cut out. Close the folder and run it through your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.
Adhere the dry embossed designer paper rectangle with a heart cut out in the center to the front of the Real Red card.
Cut a 4-1/4" piece of the White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon so it has a sharp angle on each end.
Lay the ribbon horizontally across the front of the card so it is centered over the heart cut out in the center of the designer paper. Secure the ribbon in place with small pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive. Leave the protective backings in place on the adhesive.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the dry embossed designer paper heart cut out to the front of the card so it is centered inside the heart cut out over the ribbon.
As you are ready to stamp using the Sweet Conversations Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment from the Sweet Conversations Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the horizontal white strip.
Pick out the large, open label die from the dies included with the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the machine.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals on the ends of the label cut out to adhere the label to the front of the card so it is just under the ribbon and slightly to the right of center.
Pick out the 2 large, solid flower dies and one of the small, solid flower dies from the dies included with the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put them on top of the Real Red strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies DO NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper piercer on the Take Your Pick if needed to remove the pieces.
Adhere the three flowers in a tight bunch on the left side of the sentiment label so they overlap each other, the end of the sentiment label, the ribbon, and the die cut heart a bit. Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere one of the large flowers and the small flower. Use Stampin' Seal to adhere the other large flower.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one medium jewel from a sheet of Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the popped up large flower cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 small jewels from a sheet of Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the other flower cut outs.
