Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #604: Hearts of Elegance

Good morning!

While it's nice and snowy here I'm definitely embracing all the Valentine's feelings in my crafting and love the new Hearts of Elegance Bundle and associated products that were released as Online Exclusives for this holiday!  For this card I'm playing along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge.

The cardbase is Basic White Thick cardstock and then I layered Basic Black cardstock with the Melon Mambo cardfront that's embossed with the new Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder, also an Online Exclusive item.

Next I took a piece of the Marbled Elegance Speciality Designer Series Paper and matted it with Basic Black and Real Red cardstock.  The greeting is stamped on Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink and the Hearts of Elegance stamp set before cutting it out with the Nested Essentials Dies.

For the accent in the bottom left I stamped the floral heart using Basic Black ink on Basic White cardstock and fussy cut.  A Gold Foil sheet was used to cut out the outlined heart using the coordinating Hearts of Elegance dies.  I popped up the gold heart with dimensionals.

I wanted to add a little extra, extra so I tied a double bow using the Real Red & White Baker's Twine as well as stamping the "xoxo" in Melon Mambo ink on Basic White cardstock before fussy cutting and attaching it with dimensionals.  The final touch was to add some Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins on the greeting piece.

Oh my, I was so happy with how this card turned out, love it and can't stop making projects with these items.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #556 - Heartfelt Hexagon

Good morning,

We're a week away from Valentine's Day so I'm working on wrapping up a few gifts and cards I need to get in the mail.  Today I used the Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge for this fun card with a more masculine feel card (which is definitely needed in my house).

For this card I started with Whisper White Thick cardstock for the cardbase and then I matted a piece of the Most Adorned Speciality Designer Series Paper (free during Sale-a-bration) with Basic Black cardstock.  I took another piece of the DSP (love the foiled heart accents) and cut tails in it for a flag as well as adding a piece of Gold Foil cardstock that was embossed with the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder.

The greeting is from the new Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set and coordinating punch and was attached with dimensionals.  I added a piece of Black & Very Vanilla 3/8" Large Check Ribbon around the cardfront and finished the card with an embossed heart using Black cardstock and the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing folder (it has both the embossing folder and coordinating dies!)

I love all the patterns and textures on this card, so fun!  make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration, and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create.

Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge #PCC370: Little Lady Bug

Good morning!

So happy to have a break in the rain today, even if just for a little bit, which is perfect to go along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge.  Spring is in Bloom is our inspiration and I decided some bright and cheery poppies, along with a cut little lady bug would be perfect.

For this card I used Poppy Parade cardstock for the card base and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock as a mat for the Whisper White cardfront.  I embossed the cardfront with the Tufted 3D embossing folder (but make sure to stamp the greeting first before embossing).  I also added a piece of Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper which was matted with Basic Black cardstock for that pop of springtime color.

For the stamped images I used the Little Lady Bug stamp set (you can earn this set for FREE with a $300 order or party during Sale-a-bration).  I stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock and then cut this piece as well as the Basic Black mat using the Ornate Frames Dies and then colored the lady bug in with my Stampin' Blends.  To finish off the card I added a piece of Old Olive Ribbon from the Botanical Prints Product Medley to peak out from beneath the lady bug which was attached with dimensionals.

This card is the perfect mix of cute and springtime colors and blooms to send a fun message (I'm actually using this as a Valentine this year).  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.
