Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. It’s bee COLD here in NJ. Last night we were at -2, that’s about 78 degrees too cold for me. Last I heard we’re expecting a foot of snow this weekend. My husband is never going to finish shoveling at this rate.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #223b is Cozy New Year. They’ve added a 2nd inspiration photo for this month, so don’t forget to head over and join in. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Jar Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Said Stamp Set, Perennial Postage Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies and Hearts of Love Embossing Folder for my card today. I was inspired by all the hearts and colors for my Clean & Layered card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 223b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Cut a panel of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock using the largest Perennial Postage Die.

Using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut the panel of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock and the Basic Black card base. Emboss the Real Red panel using the Hearts of Love EF. Use a sanding block over the Two-Tone cardstock to highlight the hearts. Adhere the embossed panel to the card front, lining up the die cut areas.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Simply Said stamp set in Real Red Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the smallest Perennial Postage Die. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a couple Holographic Resin Dots, colored with the Real Red Stampin’ Blend Marker, to the sentiment.

Stamp the jar image from the Sweet Jar stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a Basic White panel making sure it will show through the opening on the card front. Stamp the detailed heart image from the Sweet Jar stamp set in Real Red Ink inside the jar. Stamp the solid heart image from the Sweet Jar stamp set in Real Red Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, over the detailed image. Stamp the small heart images from the Sweet Jar stamp set above the jar. Stamp the sentiments from the Sweet Jar stamp set in Tuxedo Black and Real Red Inks. Using the Sweet Jar Builder Punch, punch the lid out of the scrap of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock and adhere it to the jar. Add a Holographic Resin Dot that was colored with Real Red Stampin’ Blend Marker, to the lid knob.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the small heart images from the Sweet Jar stamp set in Real Red Ink across the bottom of the envelope front. emboss a panel of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock using the Hearts of Love EF. Use a sanding block on the embossed panel and adhere it to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
