Hearts A Flutter Class Day 2

Hi Stampers!

Happy Friday!  Do we all have big plans for the weekend?  Do they include stamping?  I sure hope so!

Today I have the final two cards from my Hearts A Flutter Class.  This is the last day of Valentine's projects, I promise!
For this first card, I got the general idea from the Create with Connie and Mary blog but changed it up a little bit to make it my own!

We did have one little snafu at the class.  When trying to adhere paper to the glitter side of the Glimmer paper, regular SNAIL adhesive will not work.  I pulled out my trusty bottle of Tombow glue and that worked like a charm.  We had to wait a few minutes for the glue to dry, but it was worth the wait!

Stampin' Supplies:
Card Stock: Whisper White, Primrose Petals, Silver Glimmer
Designer Series Paper: 2012-2014 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack
Stamps: Hearts A Flutter, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Jet Black StazOn, Primrose Petals
Big Shot: Hearts A Flutter Collection Framelits, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder
Punches: Small Heart
Embellishments: 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon in Primrose Petals
Finally, the last card to show you from this class is a card that was featured in the January issue of Stampin' Success.  This is a magazine that is exclusive for Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  It's just one of the amazing benefits of being a demo!

Hearts A Flutter Class Day 1

Hi Stampers!

Today I'm showing you two of the cards that we made in my recent Hearts A Flutter class.  This first card is based on one that I saw originally made by Jill Olsen, but I changed it up to make it a bit more me!  It was fun to make a card with a different type of fold. 



Stampin' Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Pool Party, Silver Glimmer
Designer Series Paper: More Amore
Stamps: Hearts a Flutter, Ciao Baby
Ink: Pool Party, Primrose Petals
Big Shot: Hearts a Flutter Collection Framelits
Other: Small Heart Punch, Petite Curly Label Punch (SAB)


This is the second card for today.  I saw a variation of this card on the Artfelt Impressions blog, but I really  wanted to change it up and make it a bit more masculine.  It's the same basic layout, but I changed up the paper/color choice and embellished the sentiment more.


Card interior and envelope:

Stampin' Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Gray, Midnight Muse
Designer Series Paper: Comfort Cafe
Stamps: Hearts a Flutter, P.S. I Love You (Really hoping this one gets carried over to the Annual Catalog!)
Ink: Midnight Muse, Basic Gray
Punches: Postage Stamp, Modern Label, Word Window
Other: 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon in Basic Gray

Hearts a Flutter Valentine

Hi Stampers!

I hope you all have a very nice Valentine's Day yesterday.  I did!  We went for some delicious Thai food at our favorite restaurant and the celebrating continues on Saturday when we go to the Maroon 5 concert at Madison Square Garden.  So excited!

Now on to today's card....

It's a simple layout, but it's very good for a mailable card.  The only problem I am having is trying to get the shimmer paint that I added to the card to show up in photos.  If you cannot see, just know that I mixed Champagne shimmer paint with rubbing alcohol in a spritzer and lightly sprayed the Crumb Cake piece (after the dry embossing).  It has a lovely, sparkly sheen.  Too bad it cannot be seen here! :-(


Here's the interior.  I love all of the different hearts that are available in this stamp set.  I really love layering them like this.


Stampin' Supplies:
Card Stock: Real Red, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Pool Party
Stamps: Hearts a Flutter, That's the Ticket, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Real Red, Pool Party
Punches: Ticket Duo
Big Shot: Hearts A Flutter Collection Framelits, Adorning Accents Embossing Folders
