V alentine card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Crumb Cake Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Real Red Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 2" square of red plaid pattern from Most Adored 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper
As you are ready to stamp using the Heartfelt Hexagon Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the hatched edge tag outline from the Heartfelt Hexagon Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper left corner of the horizontal red rectangle so the top and left edge of the hexagon go off the edges of the cardstock. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it again right next to the first image on the same line. Re-ink and stamp again completing the line. Continue stamping the image after re-inking it each time until the entire rectangle is covered in lines of hexagons fitting together in a hive pattern. Leave the stamp on the block.
Adhere the stamped red rectangle to the front of the Crumb Cake card.
Re-ink the hatched edge tag outline image on Block D with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the horizontal Crumb Cake strip leaving room to punch it out.
Mount the "sending you lots of love & hugs" sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the hexagon outline on the Crumb Cake strip.
Unlock the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped sentiment image into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment punch out to the front of the card as shown.
Pick out the large set of 9 connected hearts die from the dies included in the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the plaid square of Most Adored Designer Paper on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so one heart is centered over the designer paper square. Run through the machine.
Pick out one of the open heart dies from the dies included with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the red plaid Most Adored Designer Paper heart cut out on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the heart. Run through the machine.
Note: You are using the thin outline heart you just created on this project. Save the solid heart cut out for use on another project.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the outline heart cut out to the card front as shown.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Real Red ribbon included in the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8" Ribbon Combo Pack.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown so it is centered over the bottom right corner of the sentiment label punch out.
