Home Sweet Home & a DT Call!

Monday, February 2, 2015

Have you heard...Paper Sweeties is having a DT call! You have until February 21 to apply. I bought a Paper Sweeties stamp set at a stamp convention this past weekend, and I'm throwing my hat in the ring with this card...
I used stamps from the Home Sweet Home stamp set and chose my colors from the February Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge. The card design is from this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge. For the 3-D heart, I die-cut three red cardstock hearts, stitched them through the center, folded the layers up, and added red Stickles to the center. I put a tiny bit of 3-D glue between the layers to make sure they stayed where I wanted them. It won't lie flat for mailing, but I'd rather have it fixed so the recipient sees it the way I envision it.

I scored lines in the blue cardstock to mimic the beadboard lines in the inspiration photo, but it is hard to see them in the photo of my card. The dots in the lower right corner are all different. The white dot is an enamel dot from Michael's bargain bin, the blue dot is a Glass Effects Gel pen, and the pink dot is an "enamel" dot I made from melting a mini pony bead. It's the first time I've made them, and they turned out great, but holy moly do they smell bad! I won't be making any more of those until it warms up enough to take the toaster oven outside!
On the inside I used a Blueprints die set for the angled personalization panel, and also for the red heart. I'm leaving the inside blank, as this card could be used for any number of occasions.

Now, hurry on over and check out that Paper Sweeties DT Call

Stay warm, wherever you are, and have a sweet week!
