Life is Better Together

 

Hi Friends!

This week on the Stamp Simply blog, we are sharing Wedding, Anniversary or Valentine cards. 

Valentine’s Day is almost upon us and since I do not mail Valentine cards, I decided to create a simple Anniversary card using a cut-a-part image and background paper from the new Carta Bella My Valentine 6x6 paper pad.

Check out all of the wonderful items for any type of love card needed from Stamp Simply!

I enjoy participating with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #577-#578 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to check out the Stamp Simply blog yet, I hope you will take the time to visit.  Wonderful inspiration from the rest of the Design Team!

  

To create this card:

Dry emboss a piece of white cardstock with the Darice Wire Fence embossing folder.  Trim the panel to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”.

Mount the gingham patterned paper from the Carta Bella My Valentine 6 x 6 paper pad onto espresso cardstock. 

Add the .75 Venise White Lucua Lace  onto the back of the gingham panel.  Mount the entire panel onto the dry embossed background and adhere to the espresso 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base.

Cut the image from the My Valentine 6x6 paper pad, mount onto espresso cardstock.  Adhere to the card front with dimensional foam.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from the All Occasions Sentiment Set 1 using Versafine Black Onyx ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

After the embossing cooled, die cut with the Fishtail Sentiment Banner Dies and layer with another die from espresso cardstock (cut with the same die, split in half and allowing just the ends to “peek” out).

Adhere the sentiment with dimensional foam.

Die cut the little heart from the polka dot patterned paper from the My Valentine 6 x 6 paper pad with the Farmhouse Pierced Nested Hearts die. 

Adhere the heart to the card front and finish off with a pearl.
