I was looking out my window this morning at the beautiful snow…
It's so pretty and sparkly! I'm of the opinion that if it's going to be cold, there ought to at least be some white stuff!
Aside from my small display of love for Indiana University basketball (Go IU!), I've decided that the theme for today is WHITE & SPARKLY!
This gives me the perfect opportunity to show you the white-on-white interlocking hearts cards that we made at our January Wow Techniques Class.
By the way, the next class is coming up this week already! The second Friday of the month is this Friday, February 8th. If you're in the Fort Wayne area, I'd love for you to join us!
CASEd from Dawn Olchefske at DO Stamping.
Whether you need a Valentine, wedding or anniversary card, this stunning Interlocking Hearts card is the perfect choice! I'll explain the basics, but you can see complete details at Dawn Olchefske's Interlocking Hearts Video Tutorial.
I used the largest non-scalloped heart from the Hearts Collection Framelits to create the heart-shaped card base. Simply fold a 5" x 8-1/2" sheet of Whisper White in half. Then, before running it through the Big Shot, make sure you leave a little bit of the fold on the outside of the framelit, so that it becomes an un-cut hinge, like this…
Next, you'll emboss the front of the card with the Lacy Brocade Texture Impressions Folder.
For the small hearts, use the smallest three framelits from the Hearts Collection and position them, nested inside each other, on a 3×3" piece of Whisper White card stock. You'll be able to get all three hearts in one pass through the Big Shot.
Emboss the largest heart with the Perfect Polka Dots folder and the smallest with the Square Lattice Folder. The medium sized heart is snipped right at the point where you want it to link with the large heart. Just snip and adhere the ends to the underside.
In honor of the Stampin' Up! 25th Anniversary, I decided to add a little Silver Glimmer Paper for some sparkle!
Remember, during Sale-A-Bration Hostesses with a workshop order of $150 or more will get a FREE pack of Silver Glimmer Paper in addition to their regular Hostess Benefits!
I went ahead and die-cut three small nesting hearts with the Silver Glimmer Paper, so I could use one on this card and two on the next one. A couple of Rhinestone Jewels continues the sparkly theme.
The sentiments are all from Teeny Tiny Wishes, stamped in Basic Black and punched with the Word Punch.
Originally designed by Mary Polcin.
Even though it's too large to fit into a standard A2 envelope, I had to try one with the extra-large scallop heart die-cut from the Hearts Collection Framelits. Wow! I love the look of this one! What a fun card for adding right to the top of your wedding gift for a special touch of elegance!
I used the new Occasions Paper-Piecing Pack to add some lovely detailing around the edge.
And I added a smaller Hearts A Flutter die-cut scalloped heart shape stamped with a sentiment from the Word Play set! What a simply stunning card!
