Beautiful bouquet Valentines card

I can hear my mothers words when I was younger "Amanda Jayne use things for their proper purpose" Have to say I love NOT using things for their direct intended use especially my Stampin' Up! dies. I love to find new ways to use what I buy and hopefully inspire others who purchase them too.

So here I have a slightly different interpretation for the beautiful Bouquet and Sweet and Sassy framelits... combining them to create a bouquet of hearts. Oh dear another valentines card... I can't seem to resist! I created this beautiful bouquet using the 6 x 6 glimmer card which co-ordinates with the Myths and magic DSP in the 2018 Spring /Summer catalogue, and wow the glimmer card cuts like a dream. With a crisp white back ground and a simple black sentiment the real red hearts just pop... I adore how this card turned out. I do have a step by step tutorial for you to follow along to re create this card yourself.

Sweet n' Sassy Valentines card

Happy Monday everyone I hope you had a fantastic weekend. As we were held captive to snow and bad road conditions we stayed home warm and snug and i got extra crafty time. I created another love/ Valentines theme card. I am loving the bright colours we have in the Stampin' Up! collection and love how even when you think they will clash... they compliment.

Here I used a varying shades of pink set off with just a small amount of the bright beautiful Bermuda Bay which totally looks amazing set amongst the bright pinks. Our brightest shade of pink here is Melon Mambo a vibrant colour which just shouts fun fun fun this was used to stamp the patterned hearts and is also our card base colour. This combination is teamed up with heart shaped hints of Calypso Coral, Powder Pink and Rich Razleberry.

I had cut a heap of hearts using the Sweet and Sassy Framelits in all differing sizes and had lots to spare, not wanting to waste them i came up with this project. I used two stamps the patterned heart is from heart happiness, and the sentiment borrowed from Blooming' love.

Simple card but gives a whole lot of love. I do have a step by step tutorial on my Youtube channel for you to watch and re create this card . So grab a brew get comfy and enjoy the video.
