Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

All About Love Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends.  Most of you are now working on Valentines Day cards by now and we have the best ideas for you this week. Our Saturday Hop team used the All About Love theme and here’s my card:

I added two patterns of designer paper on a Basic White Cardstock layer and cut three windows for my bears from the Perennial Postage Dies peeking through the holes:

Stampin’ Up! Products Used:

• Stamps: Valentine Kisses
• Inks: Pecan Pie
• Stampin’ Blends: Crumb Cake
• Cardstock: Pecan Pie, Real Red, Basic White
• Designer Paper: Made With Love
• Tools & Accessories: Valentine Kisses Dies, Perennial Postage Dies, Loose Valentines Assortment, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Foam Adhesive Strips

Card Recipe:

• Card Base: Pecan Pie Cardstock 8-1/2 x 5-1/2. Score and fold at 4-1/4.
• Layer 2: Basic White Cardstock 5-1/4 x 2-1/4. Stamp the three bear images across with Pecan Pie Ink. Color with Stampin’ Blends. Set aside.
• Designer Papers: Follow these steps:
  • 1st Designer Paper layer 5-1/4 x 1-1/2
  • 2nd Designer Paper layer 5-1/4 x 2-1/2
  • Use the 1-3/8 x 1-3/8 square die from Perennial Postage Dies to cut 3 windows across and 1″ from the top.
  • Add Foam Adhesive Strips around the windows on the back of the designer paper.
  • Press the white layer over the foam strips with the bears peeking from the windows.
  • Add more Foam Adhesive Strips to the back of the designer paper on all 4 edges and glue to card base.
• Layer 4: Real Red Cardstock 3-1/2 x 1/2. Glue even at the right edge below the windows.
• Layer 5: Basic White Cardstock 2-3/4 x 1/2. Stamp the sentiment with Pecan Pie Ink at the right. Glue over the red layer and even at the right.
• Hearts: Use the small heart die with Real Red Cardstock to cut 2. Glue to each space between the windows.
• Bling: Add Loose Valentines Assortment lips to the sentiment layer and pink hearts to the red diecut hearts.
