I have had such fun playing with the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Dies in the new Occasions catalog. Here are two new cards I shared my first card made with these dies here. Today I have two new cards to share.
On the top one I embossed a piece of Tip Top Taupe cardstock with the Woodgrain Textured Embossing Folder, then layered the heart on it. I cut out the small flowers from Blushing Pink Glimmer Paper. (It is soooo pretty!) Pearl Basic Jewels (119247) were applied to the centers of the flowers. The greeting was stamped with Tip Top Taupe on the banner which was stamped with Blushing Bride ink.
I love the way Stampin’ Up! coordinates their stamp sets and thinlit dies. The die for the banner is part of the Large Number Framelits Dies.
In the second card, the Bloomin’ Heart is cut from Gold Foil paper. Again I added Pearl Basic Jewels to the flower centers. The greeting is stamped with Basic Gray ink.
Finally I did this card along the same theme.
The designer series paper I used in all three cards is from last year’s Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack. A very similar pattern can be found in the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack (140548) which is in the new Occasions catalog. I have a tip for you when cutting out these hearts:
Use the new Precision Base Plate (139684) and run the sandwich with the paper and die back and forth about 4 times to get a really great cut. Then use the Big Shot Die Brush (140603) to brush out all the little pieces. You will have to run the brush back and forth over the back of the die cut but it sure beats punching out all the little pieces.
The top card with the Tip Top Taupe background is my favorite of these three. What is your favorite? Let me know in a comment.
