Be Mine, Love

I like the movement of the banner on this card. It looks like it is glued down to the card front, but if you stand it up, the banner can swing back and forth. You can easily use this as a traditional Valentine's Day card, or simply to express your love toward that special someone. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   You Plus Me

   Banner Blast

   Post Card

Paper:

   Real Red A-2, Scraps

   Very Vanilla 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scraps

   Red Glimmer Scraps

Ink:

   Early Espresso

   Real Red

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine 12"

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Hearts Border Punch

   Banner Punch

   Sticky Strip

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the Post Card image onto a Very Vanilla panel, using Early Espresso ink.

I then stamped and punched three banners out of Very Vanilla scraps, using Early Espresso ink and the Banner punch. 

Next, I stamped a Real Red heart in the center of each of these three banners.

I then stamped and punched two love banners, using Real Red ink and the Banner punch. I added a rhinestone to the letter O on each one.

Next, I adhered the Post Card Very Vanilla panel onto the Real Red card front.

I then made two tiny bows out of Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine.

Next, I placed the baker's twine across the front of the card as shown above. I placed the banners on the card and on top of the twine to see how it would look. This is the step to make adjustments or changes to the "look of the card." 

Once, I was happy, I added a glue dot to the two ends of the twine and adhered it to the two corners of the post card.

I then added a very thin piece of sticky strip to the back of each banner - just enough to hold it in place and on the twine. I attached each banner in place on the twine. 

Using a glue dot, I then adhered a bow to each of the ends on the twine.

Next, I stamped a sentiment to the left side of the post card, using Real Red ink.

Lastly, I punched and attached three red glimmer hearts to the bottom of the post card and adhered a Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card.

Shelled Vellum

The vellum really pops against this Real Red background. I decided to color only the small shells and the long seagrass. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Friendly Flamingo

Paper:

   Purple Posy A-2

   Real Red 5-1/4 x 4

   Vellum 6-1/2 x 5

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4, 1/2 x 2-1/2

Ink:

   Cinnamon Cider

Markers:

   Purple Posy

   Cinnamon Cider

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

   Punching

Accessories:

   Seashells 3D Embossing Folder

   Seaside Seashells Dies

   Banner Punch

   Bone Folder

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I took my vellum panel and dry embossed it, using the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.

I then used the Seaside Seashells Dies and die cut it.

I flipped it over and colored in the small shells and seagrass using Purple Posy and Cinnamon Cider markers.

I adhered it to the Real Red panel, using glue dots.

This panel was then adhered to the Purple Posy card front.

I stamped my sentiment using Cinnamon Cider on the 1/2 x 2-1/2 inch basic white tag. 

I punched the ends using a Banner Punch. 

It is difficult to see, but I then took my bone folder and curled the tag under "Birthday," and over "Happy." This was also attached using glue dots.

Lastly, I adhered the 5-1/4 x 4" basic white panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Crushed Tangelo

Even though these colors have been discontinued, I will continue to use them until my supply is depleted. Who knows, you may have them in your stash as well. This color combination is quite striking. Don't you think? What color combination would you use for this design? 

Stamps:

   Blossoms in Bloom

Paper:

   Purely Pomegranate A-2

   Tangelo Twist 5-1/2 x 4-1/2

   Crushed Curry 5-1/2 x 4-1/2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4, 1/2 x 3

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Crimping

   Punching

Accessories:

   Many Layered Blossoms Dies

   Crimper

   Banner Punch

   Bright's Enamel Shapes

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

The only stamping on this card was on the sentiment. It can be left off, and you will have an All-Occasions card.

Note, you will want to stamp your sentiment first, and then run it through your crimper. If you do not have one, you can improvise and use your scoring tool. Or you can leave it alone and just attach it using dimensionals.

I used a fine tip glue pen to adhere the Tangelo Twist die cut onto the Crushed Curry die cut. This was then adhered to the card base.

Lastly, I added a few enamel shapes. You can use whatever embellishments you have on hand. I adhered the basic white panel to the inside of the card.
