Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's the month for Valentines and there is love scattered all around my studio.
This is what I did for the ladies in my Craft Group.
Since I needed to make four, I needed to come up with something fairly quick and easy.
(I'd waited until the last minute to do these.)
I used this die from my stash to cut the heart from Glimmer Paper.
(I'm sorry but I think it's retired.)
I used the background heart from the set to cut a piece of patterned paper to
tuck behind the open heart. This paper is so pretty with the gold highlights and
I think it is still available from Stampin' Up!
I stamped the Love from my NBUS stamp and die set and heat embossed it
with gold, cutting the background from vellum and added a little gold jewelry to the
die cut heart. The with hugs part was stamped and embossed
on a snippet from the same paper.
Want to see how it shines?

I love that die, Bonnie. It doesn't obscure that beautiful patterned paper at all. Great idea to use some of it for the sub-sentiment. I'm sure the Craft Group ladies loved it.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Bonnie, loving that heart...always have. I also love the beautiful paper you used as well as the "love" die. Such a beautiful scripty font. You sure did make a beautiful card for waiting until the last minute! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. That pattern paper and taking the gold from it is perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt’s been years since I’ve used that heart die but it’s one of my favourites from C&9.
So beautiful! I love the colors and the gold, thanks for playing along with us at Four Seasons!
ReplyDeleteThis card looks like a million dollars! So elegant and wonderfully designed. Your friends surely felt distinguished and pampered.
