One more long holiday weekend and then it is only a few more days until the start of Sale-A-Bration and the release of Stampin' Up!'s 2019 Occasions catalog.
Today I have a few cards showcasing the All My Love Suite from that catalog:
- This first card features the Meant to Be Bundle, using the same continuous hearts die that I showed you a few days ago. This time I kept the cut-out AND the background all white and just added some of the fun designer series paper (DSP) with the diagonal white dots on Lovely Lipstick.
- The main pointer on this card is to make sure you keep all the non-heart pieces that are die cut. You will want to make sure you have these on your card because if they are white it makes the Lovely Lipstick DSP pop.
- And, how about that stitching on the edges of the Lovely Lipstick ribbon?
- This next photo is a close up of how this die and DSP look: Can you see the little white pieces that you want to keep as part of your card? If they aren't in the die cut as you pull it off the die check to see if they are still in the die. I cut another set to get some that I was missing and it turned out they were in the die all along...
This next card uses an idea that I got from Kelly at SandCastle Stamper.
- I used a dinner plate to trace a curve on some Thick Whisper White cardstock and cut just inside the line so that the line would be discarded from the piece that I would use.
- I used this to cut a second piece out of the same Lovely Lipstick DSP that I used in the previous card.
- I layered these over the heart pattterned DSP so that they kind of angled so that the red curve was wider on the right than the left.
- I used the Stitched Rectangle framelits (p 28 in your Occasions Catalog) to die cut the piece.
- I colored the Heart Epoxy Droplets with Dark Real Red and Lovely Lipstick Blends.
- This last card features the Forever Lovely Bundle which is also part of the All My Love Suite.
- I don't think the photo does justice to this card. I die cut an extra gold foil layer that sits between the flowers and the stripe and it adds just the perfect touch of elegance to the card. The shine definitely doesn't show in this picture.
- There is also just a touch of scalloped gold foil behind the greeting, die cut with the Layering Circles framelits.
- I originally did this for a color challenge calling for Very Vanilla, Shaded Spruce and Merry Merlot. I think it is the first time I used Merry Merlot but it hasn't been the last. I showed it about a month ago when I used it for my husbands Maroon and Gold (Crushed Curry) birthday card.
I sincerely thank you for stopping by my little place in the stamping world. Let me know what you think and come back again soon!
