Stampin' Up! Meant to Be Valentine Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop


Welcome fellow stampers. Today we have a color challenge. It was really a challenge for me but with the inspiration from Lisa Curcio, I came up with this card using the Meant to Be Stamp Set and coordinating Be Mine Stitched Die Set.


and here are the colors for the challenge...

Measurements are listed below, along with product used.

My card base is Whisper White, a mat of Real Red, and a mat of Flirty Flamingo, which has been embossed with the new Coastal Weave 3D EF. I adhered a Pearlized Doily to the embossed mat.

Using the Meant to Be Stamp Set, I stamped the two different hearts with VersaMark ink on Real Red card stock, heat embossed them with White Emboss Powder and cut them out with the matching dies. The white rimmed heart is also cut with the Stitched Be Mine dies.

I adhered the white rim with inlaid heart to the doily with liquid glue. The filigree heart is adhered with Dimensionals. 

The sentiment banner was stamped in Real Red and adhered with glue dots. I created the tagged end with the Tailored Tag Punch but you could also create it with Paper Snips, a/k/a scissors!

Don't you just love that Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon as a finishing touch? 

The inside is plain and simple...


I am entering my card at the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge: Challenge 540 - Anything Goes and at Time Out Challenges: #152 Photo Inspiration.
