Good morning, Wow I have been staying so busy I have not been on here in awhile. Today I want to share with you the card I have created for my Hubby for our Anniversary. It will be 10 years this month and I still feel like the luckiest girl in the world. <3
So this card was actually inspired by the inside cut file. The beautiful center pop out Design that my friend Cheryl over at
Creative Kuts created for me. Wow how stunning the trio lattice pop out hearts are!
So I searched through my supplies and decided I wanted to use my
HOTP Lacy Things Stamp Set which I did a lot of detail work to achieve the final look. I started by stamping the large heart on white card stock. I ran it through my
ScanNcut 2 and cut out the outside of the stamped heart. I set that aside and added a shadow for the cut by sizing it up and cut that in black card stock to back it with. I also stamped 3 small roses, two on a deep red card stock and the other (center) on white. I used my craft knife to hand cut the center of the heart out. I used my cricut to cut the lattice from another one of Cheryl's Pop out card files from white card stock. I trimmed it to fit behind my stamped heart. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color the heart in different shades of red, I also colored the center rose and the lattice with some of those same shades. I decided to add die cut swirl (
Die-Versions Whispers - Leafy Swirl) behind the heart cut from white card stock that I also colored in with red Spectrum Noir Markers. Also I used foam tape to pop the red stamped Heart with lattice on it over the black shadow layer to give it some added dimension. The gorgeous mat that I layered all of this onto was created with an edge die on either end of my card front layer cut from the deep red cardstock. I knew the pretty lattice in it would match up well with the heart I created. This
die is - Crafters Companion Edge'ables Lattice Flourish Die. The floral striped Paper is from an old paper stack called
Rosewood from Colorbok. I hand cut it to fit over the center of the die cut front. I also stamped With Love from the same stamp set -
HOTP Lacy Things. All layered onto a black card base to complete the front.
For the center of the card I just simply cut Cheryl's awesome Trio lattice heart pop out layer twice, once in the deep red and once in the Colorbok Rosewood Pattern paper that matches the front. I then cut away the lattice hearts on the pattern paper one and layered it over the deep red layer with the lattice hearts popping out. So stunning! I used the mats from another one of her cards. The Sentiments were from a CD I purchased from Paper wishes - HOTP 1000 Card Quotes CD and printed onto the ivory card stock. I then took the top layer of my sentiment mat which I cut out on my cricut, I drew a pencil line around it and had my ScanNcut2 cut it out. I erased the pencil line and then inked the edges with Walnut stain distress ink. Layered it onto black mat and placed them onto the inside of card.
Of course I needed an envelope so I used more of the ivory card stock and my
WRMK 123 punchboard to create this envelope. I did some stamping from the same stamp set,
HOTP Lacy Things. Plus I added one more item printed from that quotes CD up in the right corner to be used for the stamp and had my
SNC2 cut it out for me, I inked the edges and glued it down.
