Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s amazing projects. If you’ve hopped over from Jaimie Babarczy’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Love”. We can interpret this however we want. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Bundle along with the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper for my Valentine card today.

I started by adhering a panel of the Sweet Talk DSP to a Highland Heather card base.

Using my Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder, I embossed and cut a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a panel of Sweet Talk DSP to the back of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered it to the card front using Stampin Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Cling Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Bouquet of Love Dies. I adhered the sentiment across the heart using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Special Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Talk DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic White mat and then to the inside of the Highland Heather card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Talk DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my sneak peek card and will consider putting this set on your list.
