Heart Shaped, Simply Said, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am having a lot of fun playing with the "Heart Shaped" bundle from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. I have been seeing so many wonderful cards using this set and I just want to make them all. I found this one on Pinterest. You can see it here. The image on the link is a different card so you will need to click through to see the variety of cards there. There were no measurements there so I had to wing it. Please read on to see how I put this card together. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. 

For the layers I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Bloom Impressions" 12" x 12" package you can get for free in the Sale-a-Brations catalog. Before taping the DSP to the Daffodil Delight piece I cut the label strip using the die in the "Heart Shaped" bundle. After taping the two pieces together I taped them to the front of the card base.

I cut a 3" x 3" piece of Basic White card stock. I should have stamped the heart image from the bundle using Old Olive ink. I didn't do it that way. I textured the piece using the "Forever Plaid" embossing folder. I glued it to a 3-1/8' x 3-1/8" piece of Daffodil Delight card stock. Then I taped it to the front of the card making equal space on the bottom, left and top. 

An Old Olive heart was die cut and glued in place over the stamped heart. I die cut two Daffodil Delight flowers and a pair of small Old Olive leaves.  The cluster of three flowers were stamped using Daffodil Delight ink and were die cut with the matching die. 

I set the cluster of flowers on the bottom of the heart so I could see where the die cut flowers and leaves would go. I glued those on first and then set the flowers in their place. I added three small pearls to the flower cluster and after I had taken the photo I had added two to the Daffodil Delight flower centers.

The words were stamped next. They are from the "Simply Said" set using Old Olive ink. I cut them out using the same die I had cut the Daffodil Delight strip. I offset the words on the Daffodil Delight strip and then set it in place using Dimensionals.

A tiny cute little "Tiny Bee Trinket" was added to the inside of the heart and the card was done.

I just love how bright and cheery this card looks. It has such an inviting feeling to it.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
