Welcome to the second day of our Blog Blitz! Members of the Design Team will be showcasing a wide variety of the new stamps and dies this week--just in time for Valentine's Day and with the hope for an early spring. Those of you who have been in the deep freeze for days on end will really appreciate the lovely spring images and the opportunity to think spring! You can see the entire release here.
I have two similar valentines to show you today.
ONE:
The four dies I used on this card are
- HAVE A HEART set of five dies 30118
- HONEYCOMB STITCHED CIRCLE FRAME 99923
- INTRICATE BEE 99920
- SENTIMENTAL BE MINE 99927
- I chose a light pink notecard as my base.
- I die cut the 3.4X3.7 heart from a deep red cardstock and adhered it to the card.
- I cut the Honeycomb Stitched Circle Frame from some sticky-backed gold glitter paper and added it to the heart. I saved some of the punched-out honey cells to add later to the card front for more sparkle.
- I die cut Be Mine twice from the same gold glitter paper. I added an "e" from the second set to spell out "bee" for "bee mine". And I love the little heart that makes the dot for the "i"! I added those to the card.
- I die cut the bee from black cardstock and glued the body onto more of the gold glitter paper which I had already adhered to a scrap of black cardstock. I then used detail scissors to trim around the wings and tail section, carefully lifting up the four legs to cut as close to the body as I could. I used foam dots to pop the bee on top the card.
TWO:
- This time I used a top-folded notecard in another shade of pink and a silvery-gold glitter paper.
- I added "bee mine" along the left side of the heart and then placed the honeycomb on the right side, trimming off the piece that extended beyond the heart.
- I then adhered the finished heart to the notecard using double-sided tape.
- I made the bee the same way as before and popped it on, lining it up with the heart's edge.
- Again I added a few of the honey cells for more sparkle.
