Lots of pink!

Hi everyone! Since I had Valentine supplies from yesterday's post still out, I decided to make a card for Inkspirational Challenge #360 where the theme is XOXO (Hugs and Kisses).


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; scraps
Stencil - TCW Texture Love (retired)
Dies - Poppystamps Vintage Scalloped Heart
(retired at PS but still HERE at Frantic Stamper);
My Favorite Things In Stitches Alphabet (retired but one left
HERE at Frantic Stamper)
Other - foam tape; Hero Arts Ultra Pink ink

For this one I masked off all but the hearts on the stencil background I used on yesterday's card. Stenciled them in the upper left and lower right corners of a white A2 card panel using Ultra Pink ink. Trimmed it and added to an A2 card. Next I die cut the vintage heart from a scrap of pink and the scalloped mat layer from metallic silver. Layered them and popped onto the card with foam tape. Then I die cut stitched letters X and O from silver glitter scraps and also from white. Layered and adhered to the heart. Done!

I'm also sharing another card I made during last week's Card Making Stash Summit. Justine Hovey made a challenge to use colored cardstock/a diagonal/textured on a card. Here's my take:


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Paper Studio cardstock
Embossing Folder - Altenew Lace 3D
Other - foam tape, SSS printed sentiment and Starshine dots

I die cut a stitched rectangle of pink cardstock and embossed it with the 3D lace (texture) which is on a diagonal. Matted in black and added to an A2 card. A printed sentiment strip and silver dots finished the card. Very quick and easy but results in quite the impact. I think my aunt will love this for her birthday next month!

That's it for today, friends - thanks for stopping! Hope you're having a great week & happy crafting!!
