Jan. 24 Stamp of the Week - Heart to Heart

This week's featured stamp set is Heart to Heart, a 20 piece photopolymer set and, because I was inspired by yesterday's blog hop using non-traditional Valentine colors, the card is another unique combination of colors - Sahara Sand and Misty Moonlight!

The Detailed Hearts Die that coordinates with the stamp set was used on Sahara Sand foil from Love You Always Foil Sheets (Jan-Jun mini), and I cut a few more hearts in Misty Moonlight to use as filler in some of the open hearts.

After stamping the label and greeting, I fussy cut close to the outline so I could use a Misty Moonlight punched (Story Book Label) mat behind it. I just noticed it shifted a bit after I glued it on the mat, darn it! Oh well...

SOTW - A Touch of Ink

Today is the last day of this week's SOTW, so I wanted to share two more cards before we move on to other things. The first one is such a pretty, feminine card that I'm sending to someone who needs a pick-me-up. The background is embossed with the Scripty 3D folder and Flirty Flamingo was lightly sponged over.

All the images were stamped in Crumb Cake (sponge dauber application). The flowers and hummingbird were fussy cut, but I left the leaves flat on the greeting panel, which was cut out with a Stitched So Sweetly die.

The hummingbird's eye is a small rhinestone colored with a dark Basic Black Stampin' Blend, and some Opal Rounds added a bit of shimmery color.

For the next card I rolled out the good ol' Spotlight technique. The card base was stamped with the leaves inked in Crumb Cake, as above.

The spotlighted image was stamped in Memento, then colored with Stampin' Blends. The largest square in the Stitched Shapes Dies was used to cut it out, and a Basic Black mat was added before affixing it to the card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthdays, and just cracks me up! I think this would be a good birthday card for my hubby, LOL.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for a new SOTW! (Hint: Love is in the air!)

Saturday Non-Traditional Valentine Colors

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is "Non-traditional Valentine Colors" - anything other than red or pink, and that leaves a whole spectrum to play with! I chose the cool colors of Coastal cabana and Pretty Peacock..... it doesn't get much more non-traditional than that, does it?

The Always In My Heart bundle sure made this an easy card to create. The fancy heart was cut from the Sahara Sand foil sheet in the Love You Always Foil Sheets, then a Bermuda Bay heart inlay was added. These were layered on top of the Subtle 3D embossed Pretty Peacock background on the Coastal Cabana card base.

May I just say that I LOVE that banner! The die cuts the banner and embosses the fold lines so you have perfect folds every time. I colored a Resin Heart Embellishment with a light Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blend which almost perfectly matched the Coastal Cabana.

That's my share for today. Now click the Next button to jump to Libby Fens at Libby Stamps, or the Back button to see what Mary Brown at Stamper Camper's Corner has made!
