Endless Love in Melon Mambo

 

Endless Love Bundle + Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder

So much fun shifting gears to making Valentine cards!  They are my 2nd favorite season of cards to make.  I am so in love with the new Endless Love bundle in the new January - April Mini Catalog.  The stamps are mix and match sentiments.  The dies are FULL of details. And the coordinating Hearts of Love 3D Embossing folder is extremely sweet!  The links won't be live till January 6th, but here they are so you don't have to search:  Endless Love Bundle - 167062, Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder - 167071.

Endless Love Bundle + Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder

This weeks monochromatic Insta Hop color is Melon Mambo, and I couldn't wait to die cut these detailed hearts in this beautiful shade of pink.  To lift them off the card front, I used Foam Adhesive Sheet on the back of the Melon Mambo cardstock.  The Melon Mambo Stampin' Blends were perfect for coloring the rhinestones so that they are a perfect match.

Gallery Blooms + Beautiful Motifs Bundles

 This weeks monochromatic Insta Hop color challenge is Peach Pie!  When I'm indecisive about how to design a card around a specific color, I can always make it work with the Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs Bundles. I love how this card turned out and can't wait to sent it out to a friend.

Gallery Blooms + Beautiful Motifs Bundles

When I create the frame, I always cut two of the frame and them glue them together so that they a slightly more rigid on dimensionals.  Peach Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Pack made creating these flowers a breeze!  And I used the same Stampin' Blends to color the heads of the lacy flowers too.  I used just enough Lost Lagoon on the leaves to help the flowers pop! 

Inner view
Decoration on the inside of the card is a must for me!  I want the inside to be a delight as well.

  • Lacy flower stems - Basic White: scrap to die cut 2

Assembly Instructions:
