Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  How has your week started off?  We are having a couple very cold days here.  It’s been in the negative digits with the wind chill.

For today’s card I played along with 2 challenges.

The first was the Paper Craft Crew Valentine Color Challenge #322.  Be sure to stop by to see what everyone has made and to play along. Here is their challenge.

The next one is Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge #196.  Be sure to stop by to see what they have made and to play along with them. Here is their sketch.

I started with a Whisper White card front and adhered a piece of How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper using Snail.  I took a strip of Whisper White cardstock and using my Big Shot, I embossed it with the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I adhered it to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I wrapped a piece of the 3/8″ Berry Burst Metallic Edge Ribbon around the embossed strip and the card front.

On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Meant To Be Cling Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Ink.  Using the 5th from the largest Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies I cut the sentiment out with my Big Shot.  I adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a Coastal Cabana Glitter Enamel Dot to the corner.

On a panel of Petal Pink Cardstock I stamped the floral heart image from the Meant To Be stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink twice.  I then cut the 2 hearts out using the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies.  I also cut 2 of the same size hearts out in Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the frame around the stamped hearts.  I adhered the hearts to the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the card front to a Berry Burst card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside on a Whisper White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Meant To Be stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink.  I stamped one more of the floral hearts in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock and cut it out using the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies.  I adhered the heart to the left side of the Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Coastal Cabana mat using Snail then adhered it to the Berry Burst card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the floral heart from the Meant To Be stamp set on the front of the envelope.  I adhered a piece of the How Sweet It Is DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping.
