The Happy Stampers are doing another blog hop and we’re featuring items from the Stampin’ Up! 2015 Occasions Catalog and from Sale-A-Bration and we’re all offering blog candy!  So be sure to click through the hop and leave a comment for each of us for a chance to win!

My card design was inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #107.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Simply Wonderful stamp set (Sale-A-Bration item) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the little row of hearts image from the You Brighten My Day stamp set (Sale-A-Bration item) in Real Red ink under the sentiment, using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to help with placement.  Then I embossed the stamped panel with the Happy Heart Embossing Folder.

I adhered the embossed panel to a panel of Basic Black card stock with SNAIL, then adhered a smaller panel of Basic Black card stock and a panel from the Stacked With Love DSP stack over the embossed panel, using SNAIL to adhere the layers.  I wrapped a strand of Gold Baker’s Twine around the panel and tied a bow, then adhered the layered panel to a Real Red card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut a two hearts from a different panel of the Stacked With Love DSP pack and one heart from Gold Foil Sheets with the heart dies from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies set.  I adhered the gold heart to the larger heart and the smaller heart to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and I adhered the larger heart with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I punched a heart from another sheet from the Stacked With Love DSP Stack with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack punch and I adhered it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to complete the card front.

I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the heart images from the You Brighten My Day stamp set on a Whisper White panel inside the card.

For the treat bag, I cut the main pieces with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies from the Stacked with Love DSP Stack.  I had to cut the right side from two pieces of DSP (since a single piece isn’t wide enough) and I just adhered them together at the seam, the same way that the left side is adhered.  Before adhering the back of the bag together, I used the row of hearts die to cut the hearts across the top of the bag.  I used Sticky Strip to adhere the bag together, I find that to be the fastest and easiest adhesive for this project.

I cut the banner with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits die from the Stacked With Love DSP Stack.  I adhered a heart that I’d cut from Real Red card stock with the die from the Treat Bag set with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I punched an arrow from Gold Foil Sheets with the What’s Up Punch, snipped it in half, then adhered the pieces with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the heart.

I cut the sentiment out with the die from the Treat Bag set from Stacked With Love DSP and I adhered it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue over the heart.  I clipped the banner and a strand of Gold Sequins to the bag with a Mini Metallic Clothespin, then adhered a few random hearts with Multipurpose Liquid Glue that I’d cut from Gold Foil Sheets with the heart die from the Treat Bag Set.
