Paper:  Real Red Card Stock (124290 – 12″ x 12″), More Amore Designer Series Paper (129309)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING THE STAMPIN UP YOU ARE LOVED CARD BASE:

  • Cut a 6-1/4″ x 12″ piece of Real Red Card Stock and score it along the 12″ side at the 3-5/8″ and 7-1/4″ marks.

  • Align the card stock vertically with the 6-1/4″ side at the top.  Using the Big Shot, its multipurpose platform, and one cutting plate, place the card stock onto the cutting plate, and place the largest heart framelit onto the card stock slightly above the 7-1/4″ score line.

  • Place the second cutting plate onto the framelit and card stock, but place it about 1/16″ below the 7-1/4″ score line.  This creates your Big Shot sandwich.

  • Slowly push the sandwich into the Big Shot to the point that the cutting plates will catch under the roller.  Being careful to not move the cutting plates, roll the sandwich into and through the big shot with the point of the heart framelit entering first.
  • Remove the heart framelit from the card stock and the card stock will look like the picture below.

  • Turn the card stock heart underneath and cut along the 7-1/4″ fold line on the left and right sides and in the center.  Make sure you leave the heart connected to the rest of the card stock.

  • The front of the card base will look like this after cutting off the pieces.

  • Crease the card stock at the 3-5/8″ score line.
  • Set the card stock up and it will look like this:

  • Decorate your card as desired!

Stampin Up Valentine Cards 2013

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we’re all thinking about making beautiful  Stampin Up Valentine Cards, such as my card share for today.

Stampin Up Valentine Cards 2013

Do you have retired Stampin Up products that you find yourself still using?  Aren’t there some items you just cannot give up?  Well, I experience this from time to time, as I did when making this Stampin Up Valentine Card.

This valentine card is simple to make but can take a little time because I used a lot of the retired Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (don’t know why the item was retired!), which takes some time.  You can see better in the below picture all the elements on which I used the embossing powder.

Stampin Up Valentine Cards 2013

The embossing powder was used on the Whisper White Card Stock piece to the left on which I used the Adorning Accents Edgelits (125595).  It was also used on the blending ink art piece (click HERE for instructions on the technique), the laser-cut heart on the bottom of the multiple layers of hearts, and the second heart from the top.  The laser-cut heart, which is Primrose Petals in color, is in the new Stampin Up More Amore Specialty DSP (129309).

Stampin Up Valentine Cards – Large Paper Doily Die, Trinket Hearts, and Sweet Shop DSP

My friends, the season for Stampin Up Valentine Cards is winding down and I have just a couple more Stampin’ Up! Valentine Cards to share. This Valentine card’s primary features are the Large Paper Doily Die, Trinket Hearts, Adorning Accents Edgelits, and Stampin’ Up! Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Stampin Up Valentine Cards

The card’s first layer of polka dot paper is from the In Color 2011-2013 Patterns Stack DSP. It’s a perfect background for the polka dot design from the Sweet Shop DSP. I used the new Adorning Accents Edgelits on the top and bottom of the first layer.

Did you notice the Lucky Limeade twine around the heart? It’s actually Stampin’ Up!’s White Baker’s Twine that I dipped in a combination of water and Lucky Limeade from a reinker.

Stampin Up Adorning Accents Embossing Folders Valentine Card

Are you having fun using the new Stampin Up Adorning Accents Embossing Folders?  I used the one with multiple hearts to embellish the top and bottom of my card, in addition to three of the hearts in the card’s centerpiece.
 
Stampin Up Adorning Accents Embossing Folders Valentine Card

I used one of the stamps from the upcoming Sale-A-Bration, Fresh Vintage Stamp Set (125117), to create the background upon which the centerpiece sits. The centerpiece was made by using the Stampin’ Up! Heart-to-Heart Punch and the new Embosslits Fashionable Hearts, and they are embellished with Crystal Effects. I randomly attached the hearts onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and drew the swirls, curls and leaves in black ink. The curls and swirls are embellished with Basic Rhinestones, and the leaves are embossed with Silver Stampin’ Embossing Powder.

The cardstock and designer series paper used on the card front is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Paper. Lastly, I added two pieces of the Cherry Cobbler Scallop Dots Ribbon near the top and bottom of the card. I hope you enjoy this card!!

Bigz Element Bird Die Valentine Card

Isn’t the new Stampin’ Up! Bigz Elegant Bird Die adorable? I used him for the primary element on this Valentine Card. The paper used on the first card layer is one of the designs from the Sweet Shop Designer Series Specialty Paper, which dictated my color choices.

Bigz Element Bird Die Valentine Card

I cut out the bird using Pool Party Cardstock and covered it with the new White Waffle Paper to give it some texture. Then I embellished one wing with the Adorning Accents Hearts Embossing FolderI embossed both wings with Iridescent Ice Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  Around the bird’s neck I hung a Trinket Heart that contains a “Be Mine” sentiment from the Sale-A-Bration Outlined Occasions Stamp Set (126016).  It is difficult to see as I added Crystal Effects, which sometimes distorts lettering.  Maybe the picture below will give you a better view. And the next picture shows the added hearts onto the bird’s tail features (did you notice that?).

The tiny hearts are from what remains as cutouts after using the Pinking Heart Border Punch. I thought why waste them, so I added them here and there on the card. If you enjoyed the card, please leave a comment.
