Bloomin' Heart With Blushing Bride Accents
We'll be creating this pretty Bloomin' Heart card, similar to the one featured on page 16 of the Occasions Catalog, at the Occasions Catalog Kickoff Party! It's one thing to see it in the book, but there's nothing like bringing those catalog samples cards to life!
Background Basics—This card begins with a Crumb Cake card base that stamped diagonally over the front with the Bloomin' Love flowers images in Crumb Cake ink. I stamped off before each stamp to lighten the ink just a tad.
Stamped Bloomin' Heart—I die-cut the Whisper White Bloomin' Heart Thinlits shape using the Precision Plate and Magnetic Platform. You can find more tips on successful cuts with intricate dies at my previous post. The Bloomin' Love flowers fit perfectly on the solid flower cuts on the heart. Another example of how Stampin' Up! products work so well together! I stamped the small flowers in Rose Red and larger ones in Blushing Bride inks.
Blushing Accents—I added some Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper accents behind two of the outlined flowers on the heart. It's easy when you cut out the flowers with the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits. I adhered the glimmer flowers to the backside of the heart with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen, then added the same glue lightly over the entire heart to secure it to the card front.
Bundle It & SAVE! Purchase the Bloomin' Love stamp set and Bloomin' Heart Thinlits together in a Bundle to save 15% off the price of purchasing them separately!
Paper Accents—I added a 5-1/2" x 1/4" strip of the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper across the bottom edge of the card, adhered with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen. Then, I added a 2" x 3/4" piece of Love Blossoms Designer Series paper that was fishtailed on the end.
Sweet Sentiment—Finally, I stamped the Bloomin' Love sentiment in Crumb Cake onto a 1-3/4" x 1/2" piece of Crumb Cake, then fishtailed the end of that, too.
I love the soft, subtle colors and pretty coordinating patterns on this sweet card! You're going to love making it!
Two Cool—I tried another version of the card using the same basic background going in a vertical direction.
Stamped Heart—The only thing I changed on the heart was to substitute Crumb Cake for the Rose Red stamped flowers for an even softer look.
Complete Supplies List—"Clear" means a rubber stamp on a clear block. "Photopolymer" is see-thru.
