So In Love Bundle – Stamped Greetings

Welcome to the February NC Blog Hop! I’m sure you’ve been inspired by the talented artists that you have visited so far. You’ve likely just come from Sharon Maranich ‘s blog. She has an amazing project, don’t you agree?

Thanks so much for stopping by to see my card. I hope you like it and also pick up a few tips and tricks. My motto is – One stamp set, Three designs, Endless possibilities. The So In Love suite from Stampin’ Up!’s Occasions catalog has helped me live up to that motto. I’d like to share my third design using this suite. It is pictured below.

Here are some tips and tricks that I used to make the card:

Notecards are great to always have on hand. I used the Crumb Cake notecard as the card base. Rounding corners of the card base and card front pieces also add interest. The Project Life Corner punch works well for this and is an essential addition to your “go to” punches.
The Falling In Love Designer Series Paper (DSP) collection is truly incredible. It has several unique boken-like patterns and other designs (like the one I used for the floral background) to give your cards a quick, interesting, eye-catching backdrop.
So Detailed Thinlits dies add very delicate banners and edges to your projects. They can be made from DSP or single-colored card stock, as in the example. When layering the die cut on top of a piece of DSP, I like to put a piece of card stock behind the die cut piece. In the card pictured above, I used Very Vanilla behind the die cut piece. Think pieces of Crumb Cake card stock borders the Very Vanilla piece.
The flower dies from the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits die are the perfect size and shape to fit well behind the flowers in the So Detailed Thinlits die piece. Each flower is made to sparkle by adding a touch of clear Wink of Stella.
The fine tip glue pen is perfect for adhering the flowers to the back of the die cut and, then, the die cut to the piece of Very Vanilla card stock.
The So In Love stamp set offers beautiful floral images and versatile sentiments. The “enjoy” stamp can be used for any occasion. I will make several of these cards to keep on hand and use for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. I used Very Vanilla card stock and Tip Top Taupe ink to stamp the sentiment for the card. It was then fussy cut and adhered to the die cut piece.
Rhinestone Basic Jewels add a perfect finishing touch to the card.

I hope you CASE the card and would love to see your cards! If you would like to see the other two cards that I designed using the So In Love suite, click here for the first card and click here for the second card.
