Today I’m sharing a card that was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches #82.  I used the Hearts a Flutter and Ciao, Baby! stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create this card.

I started by adhering a panel of More Amore DSP to a panel of Pool Party Core’dinations Card Stock with SNAIL.  Then I wrapped two pieces of the Primrose Petals Seam Binding Ribbon (from the Artisan Embellishments Kit) around the layered panels and adhered them with SNAIL.

I stamped the scallop heart image from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set in VersaMark ink on Very Vanilla card stock and heat embossed with Pool Party Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  I also stamped the smaller heart in Real Red and Basic Gray inks on Very Vanilla Card Stock and I cut both hearts out with the Hearts a Flutter Framelits Dies.  I punched a Full Heart Punch from the More Amore DSP and layered the hearts, adhering everything together with SNAIL except the small heart (adhered that with Stampin’ Dimensionals).  Then I colored the love sentiment from the Ciao, Baby! stamp set with my Stampin’ Write Markers, stamped it on Very Vanilla card stock, punched it out with the Petite Curly Label Punch, adhered it with SNAIL to a square of Pool Party Core’dinations Card Stock (rounded the corners with the 3/16″ Corner Punch), then adhered the layered sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  To finish the card front, I pierced a hole through the layered panels with my Paper-Piercing Tool and I placed a flower from the Artisan Embellishments kit through it (taping the stem to the back) and I added three pearls to the small heart.  I adhered the decorated card front to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I finished the inside of the card by stamping the heart images in Primrose Petals and Basic Gray ink on a Very Vanilla panel.
