January 2020 Artisan Blog Hop – From My Heart Suite
Welcome to the 2020 Artisan Design Team Blog Hop!
The Stampin’ Up! 2020 Artisan Design Team has so many amazing creations for you to see! I hope that you take the time to check out all 16 blogs!
Today the Artisan’s are featuring projects made from products of the From My Heart Suite on pages 8-10 of the 2020 January – June Mini Catalog!
My creations consist of three parts: The Shadow Box, the Valentine’s Cards and the Heart Foil Tin.
The Heart Foil Tin is filled with Legos and a note asking my boys to create something for me that can adorn my desk during the day! I can’t wait to see what they come up with.
The cover is wrapped in Real Red 3/8″ Double-Stitched Ribbon and secured with Mini Glue Dots and a bow.
I adhered a full Heart Doily, white side up, to the top of the cover with Mini Glue Dots. I then took a Flirty Flamingo Heart Doily and used a Paper Snips to remove the scallops around the edge so that I could layer it on top of the white. The straight-edge Heart Punch was used to quickly crop the heart from the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper. I adhered it to the center of the doilies with Snail Adhesive.
The final touch was to glue several From My Heart Faceted Gems with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen.
The shadow box frame I have had in my stash to use when it worked. It just happened to work perfectly some floating hearts!
I took 4 Flirty Flamingo Heart Doilies and 8 Real Red Heart Doilies and scored them through the middle. I cut three pieces of Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine to the needed length and adhered them to the center of 4 Heart Doilies that I glued together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I positioned the the red doilies within the frame and secured them with a small dot from a hot glue gun. I created three pom poms from baker’s twine to pretty up the bottom and hide the glue. You could make them for the top too, I just didn’t feel it necessary.
I found photos of my boys that I liked and cropped them with the straight-edge Heart Punch. I adhered them with Mini Glue Dots.
For the Flirty Flamingo Heart Doilies, I adhered them together, but wanted to add the arrow image from the Heartfelt Stamp Set. I stamped the arrow twice in Smoky Slate Ink, cut them out with Paper Snips, then glued them together. I created a small slit through the center of the doilies so that I could slide my arrow through. I secured it in place with a Mini Glue Dot.
I finished with stamping the “Happy Valentine’s Day” heart in Real Red Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I cropped them out with the coordinating Heart Punch and adhered them with Mini Glue Dots.
The cards I created were quick and simple.
Here are the Step-by-Step Instructions on how I created cards:
- With a Paper Trimmer, cut a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″. (this is your card base).
- Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Cut a piece of From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper to 4 x 5 1/4″. Adhere to the card with Snail Adhesive.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 2 3/4 x 4″. Stamp the sentiment using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the lower right corner. Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Crop two scalloped and two straight edge hearts of Shimmery White Cardstock. Add a watercolor wash of Melon Mambo Classic Ink to the scalloped hearts and Real Read Classic Ink to the straight-edge hearts. Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp two arrows in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. Snip with Paper Snips. Adhere with Mini Dimensionals.
- Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to add From My Heart Faceted Gems to the card and arrow.
The From My Heart Suite is just $88.25 and can be added to an order with one easy item code, item 153931. If you love to create Valentine-themed projects, then this suite if perfect for you!
