Hi Friends! I hope this first week of September is treating you well. I found a bit of time to escape to my studio earlier this week and I whipped up this card for a friend. She is the kind of person who is always encouraging me, both personally and in my business. Her loving care reminds me that I need to step up my encouragement game too and bless others the way she has blessed me.
I was kindly sent the new Spellbinders Cuppa Love etched dies to join the launch party for this new collection. It is so cute and I love how my card is completely different in feel from the one that they have as a sample on the Spellbinders website. Isn't it cool the way different cardmakers can use the same dies in yet have a totally different feel to their project?!
SUPPLY LIST:
Die: Die d-lites Cuppa Love Etched Dies
Patterned paper from the following 6x6 paper pads: Blush by My Mind's Eye, C'est La Vie by Pink Paislee, Wonder by Crate Paper.
Stamps: Singnature Greetings by Papertrey Ink
Catherine Pooler Inks: Midnight
Cardstock: Neenah Solar White, green cardstock (I'm sorry, I can't find the name/brand)
Other: sewing machine with white thread, page from an old book page
In the image below you can see that I stacked the foliage spray and hearts to give them dimension. For the greenery I cut, then stacked two green cardstock pieces directly on top of each other. Then, I cut a white piece and offset it so that the white became a shadow to the green. For the heart, I stacked 4 layers of the white cardstock ontop of each other. This is a simple, and quite effective way, to create faux chipboard accents!
Thanks for your visit today. As usual, please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
