Stampin' up Three Little Words Card

Good Afternoon!

It's a shivering 8 degrees F here New Hampshire USA. What better way to warm up than with a little love. Today I have a tutorial using the Three Little Words stamp set from Stampin' Up. With Valentine's Day is only 20 days away, I thought I would get a job start on the holiday.

I hope everyone stays warm.

Classes at Stampin' Memories in Belmont NH

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Back in November 2011, I began teaching classes at Stampin' Memories in Belmont NH. This has been a great experience for me. I love sharing my ideas and techniques with others. Below are pictures from the Valentine Joy Fold Card class on January 14th.

I made these cards using Rose Inka-gold from Viva. This is a newer product and I love it! It gave the chipboard hearts from Bazzill a metallic finish. What was even better was that I could stamp on it! Inka-gold is a  paste. I used q-tips to apply it to the chipboard. This created textured swirls. The paste drys quickly and doesn't transfer once dry.

The paper is from Graphic 45's Le Romantique Collection. 

Embrace

This is a 12x12 2 page layout using the Cricut with the Tear Drop font.

• Lt. pink cardstock
• (8) Red eyelets
• (2) 12x12 sheet of heart and swirl print paper
• Valentine's ribbon tied into a bow
• Pink chalk

How-to;

1. Rip the heart and swirl print paper in half down the middle making hills and valleys. Chalk the ripped edges.
2. Using eyelets attach the hearts and swirl paper to the top of both deep pink sheets of cardstock (4 per page)
3. Using the Tear Drop font on the Cricut, cut the word "Embrace" from the hearts and swirl paper at 1 1/2 inches.Then using the shadow function cut the same word our of the Lt. pink cardstock. Adhere together.
4. Cut (3) photo-mats out of the Lt. pink cardstock; (1) 8 1/4x10 1/4, (2) 4 1/4x6 1/4
5. Adhere "Embrace" title on the left page toward the bottom right corner. Then adhere the large photo mat above the title.
6. Adhere ribbon bow on right hand page in top left corner. Arrange and adhere photo mats.
7. Create a journaling box by layering the hearts and swirls paper on top on the Lt. pink cardstock and place in lower right corner of right hand page.
