Beautiful Motifs in Soft Sea Foam

 

Beautiful Motifs + Damask Embossing Folder

This weeks monochromatic Insta Hop color is Soft Sea Foam!  I've used the Beautiful Motifs Bundle to create this card..... I am soooooo in love with how this turned out!  Below is the full tutorial.  I hope you enjoy making this as much as I did!


Beautiful Motifs Bundle + Damask Embossing Folder

To give the leaves "lift" I applied Adhesive Backed Foam Sheet to the back of the cardstock prior to die cutting.... basically turning them into a puffy sticker.  Once I applied them to the Basic White card stock, I simply trimmed off the hang over with a pair of paper snips.
I used Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends to color the stems of the flowers, and I used Soft Sea Foam ink and and blending brush to add extra color to Soft Sea Foam card stock to give it a bit of extra richness.

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.
