Chalkboard Card by Jenny Gropp

Jenny Gropp creates a striking chalkboard style card today using Live, Love Laugh F15011, Unforgettable C14213, Valentine Hearts Clear Set CL538 and Mini Heart Row DIE134-D

 

Even though the challenge is about LOVE, I think this Live, Love, Laugh stamp could work for an any occasion card. I white heat embossed the image on black paper and created a chalkboard look by rubbing some white ink over the image. I stamped the heart portion on red paper cut it out and pieced it back in to the image. I also added a little glossy accents to the heart making it shine.
 
Have a great day!

 

 

 

 

On the inside I added a few more layers, so the front would match the inside. I also used the Mini Heart Row Die along the bottom edge. I stamped the Unforgettable sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black and then the little heart in Versafine Crimson Red.

Row of Hearts by Anna Wight We have a sweet Valentine from Anna Wight to share today! Anna used a couple of the newly released dies, along with the beautiful Border Duo 2 die for the lacy book paper strip. I used one of the hearts from the Heart Set of dies to cut a felt heart for under the button, and I used the Floral Heart Strip die for the row of hearts that look like they're blowing in the breeze. I tied pretty red twine around the card, and added a vintage mother of pearl button from my stash. Have a great day!

Conversation Hearts Tutorial by Laura Fulcher Laura Fulcher shows us how to easy it is to make a bunch of conversation hearts for any of your projects with C5641 Conversation Hearts & DIE133-C Conversation Hearts Block die. First, you stamp the new Conversation Hearts image (C5641) using black ink (I used black Memento). Notice that it will stamp all of the sayings with a box around all the words: Next, get out the coordinating Conversation Hearts Block die (DIE 133-C). Notice it has 9 hearts to match the 9 sayings: Tape the die on top of the words. Notice that the square die is the same size as the stamped block. This allows for easy alignment. Once you have the die on top of the sayings, use a little repositionable tape to hold it in place and then run it through a die cutting machine: You will be left with 9 conversation hearts with the sayings stamped in the middle: You could repeat the process using different colors of paper, but I cut all of mine out of white paper and then colored them with the chisel side of my Copic markers. It was a very fast way to color them! To finish the card, I...
