Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a great weekend. I thought I would share a Valentine card I made with the I {Heart} Hearts set. I had to add a little glimmer paper to it since I am totally addicted to it right now. I'm telling you, if you have ever been frustrated with glitter paper that leaves more glitter on you than your card, you're going to love this paper. The glitter stays on the paper where it belongs.
I started with a base of Crumb Cake (the old Kraft) and added some texture with my Perfect PolkaDots Impression Folder. *Tip: if you only want texture at the top of your card, like I did, I turned my impression folder perpendicular to my card front to create a "T" shape before running it through the Big Shot.
Next, I added some Real Red DSP from the Brights Collection and I added some DSP from the Fine Print Collection as well. On top of that is some Real Red Satin ribbon. Then I took the Decorative Label punch in Basic Black & I ran through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Impression Folder. I then stamped my heart image in Basic Black and cut it out & added it on top of the Decorative Label piece. Then you will see the lovely glimmer paper heart that I punched out with the Heart to Heart punch. (All of these layers were added with dimensionals to this point.) And finally I added my little banner that is stamped in Basic Black on Very Vanilla. It is adhered with a glue dot. I colored a rhinestone with a black sharpie for a little extra shimmer and added it to the banner. I really like how it turned out and I hope you do too!
Hi Sherri!
I LOVE this card! You really hit it out of the park with this one! I have a dear friend who is a graphic artist and I think she will absolutely love getting this Valentine from me. She doesn't like fancy, frilly cards, so this one will be great to make for her. Thanks so much for sharing!!
