Mornin’, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop. This is the first hop in the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalog and I’m bettin’ you see some super fun projects from all the ladies! I hope you have your catalog and are making your wish list! 🙂
We all worked with what is one of my favorite color combinations – black, white and pink. Pink in the form of Melon Mambo!
For my card, I used the Swirly Scribbles Framelits and a little of the matching Swirly Bird stamp set, and the star of the show is a sentiment from Layering Love – displayed in a couple of hearts from the new Sweet & Sassy Framelits set. Take a look-see:
I started out by building my center panel – cutting a piece of Pop of Pink DSP and SNAILing to a Basic Black mat. Over that went the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment image from Layering Love on a piece of Whisper White card stock and cut it with the smallest Sweet & Sassy Framelit heart that it would fit in. I matted it on a Melon Mambo heart – cut with the next largest die. Don’t they just go together like George and Gracie?
George Burns? Gracie Allen? Say good-night, Gracie….
No? Nuthin’?
Sorry.
Anywho – I SNAILd the two hearts together, colored the little heart with my Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker and then added them to my layered center panel.
With that ready to go, I took a Whisper White panel and scattered a bunch of the splatter image from Swirly Bird all over the top part of the panel in Basic Black Archival Ink. Then I added some Melon Mambo hearts – from Layering Love – over the splatters.
I used the Swirly Scribbles Framelits to cut out two large swirly-do’s and two medium-sized ones from Melon Mambo card stock. Then I used lots of little tiny dots of Multi-purpose Liquid Glue to adhere them to the card front – making sure that they extended out past my center panel.
I popped the center panel – with it’s heart sentiment – over the graphic splatters and Swirly Bird swirly do’s with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The final touch was the addition of a few It’s My Party Enamel dots in Melon Mambo. Now – when I made this card – these weren’t retired. Now they are – but you can get the Brights Enamel Shapes (item 141680 $9) in the new catalog!
I SNAILd it all to a Basic Black mat and the card front was done!
On the inside, I first wrapped a piece of Melon Mambo Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape across the bottom of a Whisper White panel. Then I added more Layering Love hearts in Melon Mambo and SNAILd it to a Basic Black mat.
I SNAILd it into my Melon Mambo card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
For the Whisper White Medium Envelope, I added some more of the Melon Mambo Washi from the Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape across the front – snipping the excess with my awesome Paper Snips – and added a few more Layering Love hearts…
…and gave it a designer flap with the same Pop of Pink DSP paper that I used on the center of the card front. You remember how I did that – yes? Ran a thin line of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue around the edge of the outside of the flap. Then I laid the DSP over the flap – aligning the edge of the paper with the top of the flap. Finally, do a quick fussy-cut around the edge of the flap. Easy peasy!
Et Voila. Black and white and pink. Classic! And just made for the Pop of Pink DSP. Hope you like!
