Two Hearts Forever – Tutorial #560

Hello There,

Happy Friday!   Gotta love getting to the weekend, right?

Well I am loving the new Stampin’ Up! Spring catalog.  I have to say, I over indulged when placing my order from it, but I could not pass up all the yummy things in the it.  You know where I’m coming from. . . . . .so no further explanation is need, lol.

Today I have a Valentine for you. Check it out, I used three things from the Spring catalog in the project, Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set (item number 129252), Itty Bitties Stamp Set (item number 128939), and a new roller, Amazing Accent (item number 130106).  I also added the set Forever with You (item number 126727) from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.   These sets work so well together with this collage technique. Add a bit of the direct to paper technique and you have a striking card.

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Project Supplies:

Stampin’ Up! Stamps: Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set (item number 129252), Itty Bitties Stamp Set (item number 128939), and a new roller, Amazing Accent (item number 130106), Forever with You (item number 126727)

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Real Red, Baja Breeze, Calypso Coral and Summer Starfruit

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Sponge, Cherry Cobbler Quilted Satin Ribbon, Basic Black marker, White Gel Pen

Started by smearing my Summer Starfruit ink pad across the a 3.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Smeared Calypso Coral ink over that.

Smeared Baja Breeze ink over the top part of the card stock to cool the warm colors underneath a bit.

Smeared Real Red ink across the bottom of the card stock.

 

Since I have a short piece of card stock I was able to just roll my Amazing Accent roller stamp over my Soft Suede ink pad a few times and then roll it on the card stock.  I did this twice, butting the two images up against each other.

Stamped my sentiment from the Forever With You stamp set across the bottom using Basic Black ink.

Stamped the two hearts by loading my stamp with Cherry Cobbler ink and then tapping the side of the Basic Black brush tip along the edge before stamping it.

Over stamp the hearts with the heart outline stamp using Whisper White ink.

Darkened the dots from the roller stamp where the cross over the heart using a Basic Black marker.

Sponged Basic Black ink on the card stock edges.

Stamped the little heart from the Itty Bitties stamp set along the left side of the card stock and on the right heart using Basic Black ink.

Added a 4″square and 5″ square Basic Black panels and a 4 1/8″ square and a 5.25″ Cherry Cobbler card base.   Also added Cherry Cobbler quilted satin ribbon.

Darkened the White Outline of the hearts and put dots on the small Basic Black panel using a White Gel pen.

Here is the finished Valentine measuring 5.25″ square.

May your day be filled with love.
