First is the little "Kiss Card". It's cute and fast. It's also small, so it doesn't take a lot of card stock and could be used easily for a Valentine exchange. I did CASE this card, but unfortunately I don't remember where I saw it. I was doing lots of web surfing and ran across it somewhere! Credit goes to someone out there who created the design!
Base of card measures 3" square when folded. I used whisper white card stock for base. There is an Early Espresso strip (punched with Eyelet Border Punch) attached at bottom front of card. It's hard to see in my first photo, but when you view the opened card, you can see it. The DSP on the front is from the "Love Patterns" package that is available in the Filled With Love Promotion (see sidebar / good through January 24 only). The "love" stamp as well as the stamps on inside of card are from the set called "Filled With Love" which is also part of the promotion. Real Red stampin' ink was used for all images.
The center of the "O" was punched out with a 1" circle punch. This allows the Hershey's Kiss to fit through. To finish, a knot was tied using Real Red 5/8" Satin Ribbon.
The other card we made at Stamp Club is this cute Cupcake Card. It is a birthday card, that definitely reflects a Valentine theme because of the colors. But trade out the color scheme and the DSP for something else and you can get an entirely different look!
Base of card measures 4" x 4" when folded. The DSP is "Love Patterns" from the Filled With Love Promotion. Punches used include: 2" x 1 3/8" Oval XL, Word Window, Scallop Trim Border, Scallop Edge Border and the NEW Build A Cupcake punch! Words are stamped in Early Espresso stampin' ink and are from the NEW set "Create A Cupcake" (see Occasions Mini Catalog).
I used some DSP from Designer Series Paper Stack "Neutrals"(page 175 in catalog) for the cupcake paper - I think it's perfect! The frosting is punched Shimmery White card stock (page 170). I've often used Shimmery White for snowy, winter-type cards. But used here for the frosting, gives it a delicious little sheen!!
Embellishments make this card! The ribbon is our scrumptious 5/8" Organza Ribbon (page 190). It is attached with Sticky Strip and sort of "bunched" or "pleated" as it was attached at left side of card. Very simple. Very effective! Of course, I love a bit of Bling - so the Basic Rhinestone Jewels were my choice at the top of the Whisper White oval.
Also not mentioned: Pretty In Pink card stock (strip across middle, under the ribbon).
Real Red card stock for the cherry (punched with Build a Cupcake Punch)
Stampin' Dimensionals (to raise the frosting)
SNAIL Adhesive for other paper to paper adhering.
Thanks for stopping by!
