Hello my Stampin' Friends,
Once again, one of my main goals for the new year is to Collect Less Create More Honestly, I know am not alone when I say that I find myself ordering "all the fabulous new stuff" only to have it sit on the shelf for... a year... maybe longer. As exciting and fun as it is to "collect" I find myself getting very depressed when I realize how much I have that I've never created with! Are you with me on this?
With that "goal" in mind, and Valentine's Day fast approaching, I dug out one of my favorite Love-Themed Paper Pumpkin kits: January 2022's Kisses & Hugs.
Do you still have pieces of this kit leftover? I have TONS! It was such an amazing kit!!!
This card only uses ONE of the card-base hearts from the kit one Vellum heart, and a tiny bit cut from an envelope.
I cannot begin to tell you how pretty this is in person. I created a book-binding card base with some Blushing Bride cardstock (retired). I used the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder to emboss one of hearts from the kit. I used the coordinating die to cut a window from the center. I added one of the vellum hearts, from the kit, behind the window. I then embossed a strip of cardstock for the binding to coordinate with my embossed heart.
I used the same heart die to cut a piece from one of the envelopes that was included with the kit. The Gold inlay is too pretty to waste on an envelope - don't you think? I added this to my card base so it would peek through the window. Over this, I added a Gold Foil "Love" cut with one of the Always Dies (retired) and a stamped "You More" from the Forever & Always stamp set (retired). Wild Wheat ink looks pretty close to gold. Amazing! | I really hope you can tell how pretty this card is! It will be for sale in our Store and I hope someone will love it as much as I do and purchase it for someone special.
