Welcome back to another Inkin’ Krew blog hop!  Our very talented team is doing a blog hop featuring Stampin’ Up! products.  This month we are all creating projects with a “Love” theme and I’m featuring the Heartfelt stamp set bundle for my projects.

The design for my card was inspired by My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge 471.

I started by adhering a panel from the Golden Honey Specialty DSP (Sale-a-bration item) to a panel of Basic Black card stock with SNAIL and then to a Real Red card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a strip of the Real Red 3/8″ Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon to the card front in a “z” with SNAIL and then stamped the scalloped heart image from the Heartfelt photopolymer stamp set in Real Red ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Real Red card stock and then heat embossed it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

I stamped the dotted heart image from the Heartfelt stamp set around the sentiment in Real Red ink and then punched the two hearts with the coordinating Heart Punch Pack punches.  I adhered the two hearts together with SNAIL and to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the two smaller hearts with the image from the Meant To Be stamp set in Real Red ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.

I cut the two smaller hearts out with the coordinating Stitched Be Mine Dies and then adhered them with Glue Dots to the card front.  I adhered a Rhinestone Basic Jewel on the larger heart to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heart To Heart photopolymer stamp set and the small heart from the Heartfelt stamp set in Real Red ink in a panel of Whisper White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

For the treat holder, I added a few pieces of candy to one of the Heart Foil Tins and then adhered one of the Heart Doilies with Glue Dots to the top of the lid.  I punched a piece of the Golden Honey DSP with one of the Heart Punch Pack punches and then adhered that with SNAIL over the heart doily.  I added two Glue Dots to the bottom of the tin to help hold the ribbon in place as I wrapped it and then I wrapped the strand of Real Red 3/8″ Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon around the tin.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heart To Heart stamp set in Real Red ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut the sentiment out with with the Trio of Tags Dies.  I pulled the strand of Real Red Ribbon through the tag and tied a bow.  I cut a panel of Real Red card stock with heart dies from the Trio of Tags Dies and then adhered them with Glue Dots to the tag.  I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the tag to finish it.
