Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is Love! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
There’s a VERY cool stamp set that you can get for FREE right now – while Sale-A-Bration is going on! – when you place an individual order over $300 in retail (or host a workshop that totals over $300) – called the Punch Party stamp set. I used it – and some of the uber-pretty Love You Always Specialty DSP and Love You Always Foil to make my love-themed card! Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is inspired by just the sketch portion of the…Inspired By challenge this week! 🙂
I started with a piece of Whisper (Basic) White and embossed it in the new Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. Then, using my Blending Brush (these are new and AWESOME!), I lightly colored the panel with Rococo Rose ink. I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Blushing Bride piece of Love You Always Foil to make the card front.
The Punch Party stamp set coordinates with the Heart Punch Pack, the Double Oval Punch and the Rectangular Postage Punch. I used both punches in the Heart Punch Pack for this one. Using the scalloped punch (which is larger) – I cut one of each of the three foil colors (Sahara Sand, Blushing Bride, and Rococo Rose) from the Love You Always Foil. I used the smaller – straight-edge punch – to cut a piece of Sahara Sand and Blushing Bride paper from the Love You Always Specialty DSP.
I adhered the Sahara Sand pieces and the Blushing Bride pieces together with Liquid Glue – then adhered them to the card front – stacking them up.
On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the Punch Party sentiment in Rococo Rose. I punched it with the smaller, straight-edge Heart Punch and popped that heart onto the Rococo Rose Foil heart with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I adhered the matted sentiment heart to the card front with Liquid Glue.
A few Champagne Rhinestones adhered to the card front finished it off.
On the inside, I stamped the Punch Party heart in Blushing Bride on a piece of Whisper White (or Basic White) and added a second sentiment in Rococo Rose.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a piece of Blushing Bride Love You Always Foil and into my Sahara Sand card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White (or Basic White) Medium Envelope got the Punch Party heart in Blushing Bride and some smaller hearts from the set in Rococo Rose on the front…
…and some of the Rococo Rose Love You Always Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Y’all – I am TOTALLY in love with the Punch Party stamp set – and you should be, too! As I mentioned, it coordinates with the Heart Punch Pack, the Double Oval Punch and the Rectangular Postage Punch. Trust me when I say…you NEED this stamp set! Soooooo…..
And as we head into Valentine’s Day and the season of love, there are few better packs of paper to have in your stash than the Love You Always Specialty DSP and coordinating Love You Always Foil!
I hope you like!
