Black and White Valentine or Anniversary Card using Forever & Always Stamp Set

                 

  • Stampin' Up! Forever & Always Stamp Set
  • Always Dies coordinate with the Forever & Always Stamp Set
  • Watch the Love You Always Suite Video

It isn't often that I see a card so striking that I dash to my craft room to case it.  Today's card is just such a card.  I'm Casing Kylie Bertucci's stunning card.  She is an extremely talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from Australia, and I think you'll agree that her design is perfection.  It uses the dies from Always Dies, part of the Forever & Always Bundle from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  Its paired with prints from the True Love Designer Series Paper -- one stripes; another flowers.  A few Frosted & Clear Epoxy droplets complete the layout.

The card uses a basecard of Basic Black Cardstock.  Then a layer of a striped print from the True Love Designer Series Paper.  The image layer is also Basic Black Cardstock matted with a layer of Basic White.

I selected a floral print from the True Love Designer Series Paper (there are several to choose from) and fussy cut these lovely black and white flowers to use on my image layer. .

Then I selected the Love Die from the Always Dies set along with its drop shadow die,  I added Adhesive Sheets to the back of the Basic Black Cardstock for the letters Love   I die cut the drop shadow out of Basic White Cardstock.  They can be run through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine at the same time.  I layered the Love letters onto the Basic White drop shadow and then added Dimensionals to the back.  To finish the image layer, I added Frosted and Clear Epoxy Droplets.

Rococo Rose Heart Valentine Card using Stampin' Up! Always In My Heart Bundle

                                 

  • Stampin' Up! Always In My Heart Bundle
  • Floral Heart Dies coordinates with Always In My Heart Stamp Set
  • Gilded Leafing and Heat & Stick Powder

Make a card for your sweetheart, your best friend, your parents with the Always In My Heart Stamp Set and coordinating Floral Heart Dies from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  Today I'm using the Always In My Heart Bundle along with one of the Free Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Papers called Paper Blooms.  This paper is a free selection with a $50 order until February 28.  I added a ribbon using the Blushing Bride 3/8" Metallic Ribbon.  This beautiful ribbon includes a gold metallic thread on one side and is a satin Blushing Bride on the other side.   


Valentine Card idea using Always In My Heart Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!


The card uses a basecard of Rococo Rose Cardstock.  Then a layer of Basic white, and the image layer covers a striped print from the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper pack.  

Valentine Card on Striped Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper with die cuts using Floral Heart Dies from Stampin' Up!





I die cut the floral hear using the Floral Heart dies out of Rococo Rose Cardstock.  Then I cut a small square of Blushing Bride Cardstock and used the center of the floral heart die to die cut just the heart shape.  Then I selected a sentiment from the Always In My Heart Stamp Set and stamped the sentiment in Rococo Rose Ink onto the Blushing Bride heart.      

Valentine Cards using the Always In My Heart Bundle from Stampin' Up!





The Blushing Bride heart is mounted on Dimensionals before additing it to the image layer.  I also add two Gold Gilded Gems to the heart.  Then I created a bow using 38" Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon.  However, I used the satin side rather than the metallic side.  Both are beautiful, but I wanted to keep my card as monochromatic as possible.

Gilded Leafing and Heat & Stick Powder!

Sometimes the Stampin' Up! Catalog doesn't show the beautiful details of some of our newer products.  One of the new products in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog is the new Gilded Leafing and Heat & Stick Powder to use along with the Art Gallery Bundle from the Fine Art Floral Suite on pages 32 -34 in the mini catalog. 


 
Here's a quick video to show you close up the different ways to use the new Gilded Leafing.  Sara Douglas, Stampin' Up! CEO, and her mom showed us a demo of the Gilded Leafing during our November  OnStage@Home conference, and I'm sure many stampers will find this recent demonstration video and question and answers useful in trying Gilded Leafing.
