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

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another heart card to share with you before I put the set aside for a while and play with my other stuff. Please read on to see how it was made.

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

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Timeless Plaid" 6" x 6" stack and I taped it to the front of the card base.

Then I took a quarter-sheet of Basic White card stock and stamped the heart from the "Heart Shaped" bundle using Mossy Meadow ink. I die cut the piece using the second largest die from the "Perennial Postage" set. I cut a 3-3/8" x 4-5/8" piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock for the layer. Before taping the Basic White piece to the Cherry Cobbler piece, I took the word die from the bundle and cut two pieces. Once they were cut I taped the Basic White piece to the Cherry Cobbler piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

The flower cluster was stamped next using Cherry Cobbler ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. This image is from the same "Heart Shaped" bundle. I cut them out using the matching die. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the right side of the heart. Tiny little pearls were added to the center of each flower.

Next I stamped the words. They are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using Mossy Meadow ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out with the die from the "Heart Shaped" bundle. I added tape to the back and affixed one of the Cherry Cobbler strips to it. Then I added more tape and affixed the other piece. It make a pretty layer that went with the word piece itself. It almost looks like it's once piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card. 

I colored a few pearls using my dark Cherry Cobbler Blends pen. I set them in place on the front of the card and the card was finished.

I'm not overly thrilled with the card, it's a bit plain. If I were to make another one I would probably texture the Basic White piece after I stamp the heart. I think that would add a lot to it.

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