Spread the love!

Inspired by the card on page 8 of the January-April 2023 MINI CATALOG — I love the two STEP STAMPING heart stamp from the COUNTRY BOUQUET Stamp Set.

Here are several projects that begin with heart-stamped images and the FRAMED FLORETS DIES for lots of options using products from the COUNTRY FLORAL LANE Suite!

Techniques include Two-Step Stamping & Embossing using the Stamparatus, Die Cutting and Sponge Daub with ink for accents.

Featured Projects

Card #1 — Sweet Sorbet, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, and Basic White cardstock and inks. The Framed Florets Dies to offer the perfect frame for the embossed heart.
Card #2 – Sweet Sorbet and add the COUNTRY GINGHAM 6X6 DSP
Card #3 – White and Gold Embossing to create this version.
Card #4 – Same technique using Balmy Blue and Mint Macaroon colors.

Boughs of Holly Poinsettia Card

by
Spread the love!

Inspired by the card on page 24 of the July-December 2022 MINI CATALOG — I loved the layering. Here is my interpretation for assembling a series of cards using the BOUGHS OF HOLLY Collection.

I changed it up by using a DECORATIVE MASK with Shimmery White Embossing Paste to add a layer of texture to the background.
