First the romantic card! This card uses a tri fold technique where a sheet of A4 is cut with an off-set diagonal with the card in landscape so that two can be made from one sheet. The card is then folded into three which I hope you can see from the photo. Most of the hearts were stamped using the Hearts a Flutter stamp set in the current in-color Raspberry Ripple onto Whisper White card stock and then cut out using the matching Hearts a Flutter Big Shot Frame-lits. Other hearts were made by stamping the larger stamp from Creative Elements onto Whisper White and then cut out using the Full Heart punch, by cutting out Whisper White hearts and then embossing using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder. The hearts were randomly adhered onto the angled edges of the card as seen in the photo. Little silver hearts were added for a bit of sparkle and punched from Silver Glimmer paper using the Small Heart Punch. The greeting was stamped using the Teeny Tiny Sentiments and punched out using the word window punch and backed with a piece of Raspberry Ripple cardstock punched out using the Modern Label punch.
Our second card for the evening was made using the Rev Up The Fun stamp set - ideal for any male. I gave my ladies a choice of which design to use, with the motorbike or the car. The stamp was inked using the Real Red and Basic Grey Marker pens. The 'sand' was created using the exhaust stamp in Versa Mark. The sky effect was created using the daubing technique with Pool Party ink on a sponge and masked using a scrap piece of card punched out with the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle.The main colours for the card were Pool Party, Real Red, Basic Grey and Crushed Curry. Three Candy Dots from the Brights collection were used to represent traffic lights. A strip of I Am Me DSP was used to back the piece of Real Red 1/4" stitched grosgrain. My ladies had the option of using the greeting from the stamp set or one from the Itty Bitty Banners.
