P retty Valentine card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer and Paper Snips Scissors:
- card from Calypso Coral Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Lost Lagoon Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of brushstroke pink design from Softly Stippled 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- large bunch of gray roses and leaves cut from Softly Stippled 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper using Paper Snips Scissors
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Heartfelt Hellos Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Lost Lagoon Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the horizontal Lost Lagoon rectangle.
Adhere the stamped Lost Lagoon rectangle to the front of the Calypso Coral card.
Pick out the curved die from the Basic Borders Dies. Put it on top of the pink brushstroke Softly Stippled Designer Paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it will cut off the top left corner of the designer paper as shown. Run through the machine. Keep ALL the pieces.
Adhere the curved corner piece of designer paper to the front of the card as shown so there is about 1/8" of Lost Lagoon showing along the flat top and left edges.
If you haven't already done so, cut out the large group of gray roses and leaves from the Softly Stippled Designer Paper using Paper Snips Scissors.
Place the cut out roses on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Light and Dark Calypso Coral and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends to color in the flowers and buds.
Use the Light and Dark Lost Lagoon Stampin' Blends to color in the leaves.
Adhere the colored roses cut out to the front of the card as shown so it is roughly centered over the designer paper curved corner.
Carefully punch out one small, closed wing butterfly from a sheet of Paper Butterfly Accents.
Place the butterfly accent on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. Make sure that the butterfly's body and antennae are on the left side.
Tap the brush tip of the Light and Dark Calypso Coral and Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blends all over the butterfly randomly. Use more of the Light Calypso Coral than the Dark. Then, color in the rest of the butterfly and blend it all together using the Light Petal Pink Stampin' Blends.
Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen on the back of the colored butterfly to adhere it to the card front as shown so it just overlaps the colored roses cut out.
Pick out the small group of three connected hearts die from the dies included with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the remaining pink brushstroke Softly Stippled Designer Paper on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed. KEEP ALL THE LITTLE HEART AND CONNECTED OUTLINE HEART PIECES!
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the heart pieces to the front of the card as shown around the sentiment.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 tiny pearls from the sheet of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown.
