Ready for happy colors? The Valentine’s Day Blog Hop was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of my favorite colors – Gorgeous Grape and Magenta Madness! Using the Stampin’ Up! Meant to Be and Quite Curvy stamp sets and Curvy die-cuts to make this cheerful card. These colors blend perfectly with the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper. Adding the hearts brought just a little bit more happy to the Valentine’s Day Blog Hop card – Enjoy!
I am Traci Raether, Creative Coach and Founder of Plum Crazy Stamping, and my goal is to make stamping easy for card-makers and paper-crafters. I will share the step-by-step instructions to make this card, below.
Cardstock Measurements
- Gorgeous Grape cardstock – 5.5″ x 8.5″ and scored at 4.25″ on the long-side
- Magenta Madness cardstock – 4′ x 5.25″ and additional cardstock for die-cutting
- Basic White cardstock – 5.5″ x 8.5″ and scored at 4.25″ on the long-side and additional cardstock for die-cutting
- Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper – to be used for die-cutting
Instructions
- Fold the card bases on the 4.25″ score lines with the bone folder.
- Cut a variety of “curvy” pieces of cardstock and designer series paper that are 4″ wide to be used on the card front.
- Adhere the “curvy” pieces of cardstock to the Magenta Madness card front and then trim the edges of the card front before adhering to the card base.
- Stamp the sentiments on the card front with Gorgeous Grape.
- Embellish with hearts and mount some with Dimensionals.
- Mount the Basic White cardstock on the inside of the card; stamp, as desired.
