Endless Love

Valentine’s Day fun has been built right into our Made with Love Suite (167079) and the fun Made with Love Designer Series Paper (167054) that is filled with traditional Valentine’s Day colors and patterns.

Great patterns for mixing and matching when creating. Check out today’s card with a simple layout that highlights these papers.

A simple mat of Real Read on a Bubble Bath card base sets the color scheme. Simple stamping, a bit of die cutting, and some fun accessories. You’ll love the fun little pieces found in the Loose Valentine’s Assortment (167074) they are simply adorable for adding onto projects or creating a shaker card. The 1/8″ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon (167075) adds some texture without a lot of bulk which is why I just love this width of ribbon that can be used for so many things easily and linen ribbon just ties so nicely too.

Today’s card uses a fun embossing folder technique using the Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder (167071) and Endless Love Bundle (167062) both of which can be found in the Made with Love Suite (167079).

Check it out – notice the background of this card? It’s actually dry embossed and the embossed areas have had color added to them to make it “pop”. Then a bit of color was added with a Blending Brush to add a bit more impact and ground the hearts.

Done in Real Red, Bubble Bath and Pool Party, it pulls the color inspiration straight from the Designer Series Paper found in the Suite. And you’ll love the fun little 1/8″ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon (167075) that is so easy to tie and great for all kinds of projects.

How is this technique done? It’s so simple to do. You’ll simply apply ink to the raised “positive” embossed side with a brayer, add the card stock, and run thru your Stampin’ Cut and Emboss like normal. And Voila! Think of a letterpress. Want color on the negative area? Simply add color to the other half of your folder and you’ll get a totally different look.

I love this simple technique for creating backgrounds that pop. How about you? Why not give it a try with your favorite folder?

Enjoy!
