Bloomin' Love, Anniversary Card

I made this card for our son and daughter-in-laws anniversary.  I can't believe it's been 5 years already.  Time is flying by SO fast.  

This was a very fun card to make and not all that difficult either.  I used Crumb Cake cardstock for the base.  Then a piece of Very Vanilla cut at 5-3/8" x 4-1/4".  I trimmed up a piece of the "Falling in Love" Decorative Series Paper (DSP) to 5-1/4" x 4".

I die cut the heart using the "Bloomin' Hearts" Thinlits and Sweet Sugarplum cardstock.  

The heart in the center was done by using the heart image from the "Bloomin' Love" stamp set.  It was stamped using Sweet Sugarplum ink and stamped off once, on Very Vanilla cardstock.  Then it was cut out using the "Hearts" Framelits. When I cut the hearts out I cut the flowers out at the same time.  I sponged the edges of the center of the flowers using Sweet Sugarplum ink.  I put them together and set them in place with tiny glue dots.  I set a half pearl in the center of each.  I also use glue dots to set the larger lacy looking heart in place.  

For the Very Vanilla heart, I used Dimensionals to set it in place.  The words are from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set.  I used Crumb Cake ink to stamp them.  The banner is from the "Bloomin' Love" set and it was stamped using Sweet Sugarplum ink and fussy cut by hand. UGH!!!  You know how much I do NOT like to cut things out by hand anymore.  Stampin' Up! has spoiled me with all of those fun dies!

This was a pretty easy card to make and assemble.  It was fun to do too!  I wouldn't think twice about making more!!  I LOVE that DSP!!
