Using the same stamp set (First Sight - 2016 Occasions Catalogue) as yesterday, I decided to create a Card that could work for Valentines Day or an Anniversary, in Red, Black & White.
I love using the new Archival Basic Black ink pad. It stamps beautifully! Below you can see a closeup.
I love to create strips of text which you see using the word 'Love'. I masked the rest of the sentiment with tape, inked the exposed word 'Love', removed the tape from the sentiment, and stamped the word along the 3/8' strip. (or you could use your Stampin' Write Basic Black Marker on the word 'Love') Under the strip I used the white Uni-Ball Gel Pen to create the faux stitching line.
Next you can see the layering with the upper white and the red heart popped up with diemensionals.
On the inside I added another strip with the word 'love', and stamped a little pattern in the lower corners.
Hope you are inspired a little more with today's "First Sight" Sneak Peek. I'll be showing a few more, so be sure to check in for another peak. With the exception of the new stamp set, everything I used you will find below.
What creative ideas are you having about using this stamp set?
Happy Stamping!

A friend of mine asked me to make an Anniversary card to give his dear wife for their 47th Wedding Anniversary. I know she likes blue, and I wanted to stay away from autumn colours but still wanted to use the "Lighthearted Leaves" stamp set.
As you can see I did do a fair bit of fussy cutting (I don't have the "Leaflets" Framelits yet). I'm kind of wishing I had arranged the leaves a little differently now, but.... In the photo below you can see that the only thing popped up is the gold oval frame over/around the sentiment. The sequins add a bit of shine and accents in hearts and circles.
And, of course the inside... more fussy cut leaves that were trimmed once adhered.
For this card, I decided to decorate the envelope a bit, since it would be given directly to the recipient.
The sentiments on the front of the card were taken from two different "Hostess Stamp Sets". (Photos seen here and only available if you host a party/workshop)
Hope you found some inspiration from this card creation.
Happy stamping & creating!
