I'm back with another card made using the new release stamps and Sweet Cuts dies from Paper Sweeties. Yesterday, I made a card using the Wish die. The Love die on today's card is from the same "Wish" Sweet Cuts die set. It, along with the rest of the new releases, will be available for purchase tomorrow!!!
I started this card by cutting the "Love" die 3 times out of black cardstock, and once out of a grayish-blue, then layered them to give the word more dimension. I layered the black pieces directly on top of each other, but offset the top blue layer just a little bit to allow the black to show and define the edges of the letters. To add an ivory frame around the floral die cut, I cut the Labels 18 die two times more out of ivory cardstock, cut one in half lengthwise and the other in half from top to bottom, then attached them to the back of the floral die cut. You can see that there is more than one layer in the corners, but I like that look. The "you to pieces" stamp is from the "Wish" stamp set. I heat embossed it in white. After tying a Blueberry Seam Binding bow, I threaded gold Memory Thread through a red button, curled the ends, and attached it to the center of the bow. A few Silver Sequins with Red Pearl Pen centers are sprinkled around for a bit of shine.
To spice up the inside, I added a red heart cut with a die from the Pretty Posies Sweet Cuts die set. I love that little flare at the bottom of it.
I'll be back tomorrow with a card using the new Bee Happy stamp set--Adorable! I even attempted a little watercolor wash. I'm going to get the watercolor thing down eventually. ;)

Beautiful card with lots of detail! Fab dimension on the love sentiment! And, love the pretty bow!:-)
Oh, I love this one, too! The colors, the papers, the dimension -- all fabulous!
OMG OMG OMG!! Super SWEET Card!! I LOVE all the Layers and the Vintage Feel!! =) THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
This card turned out beautifully! I really love the clever way you used the die cut shapes to create the look of overlapping frames. And you have a great eye for combining patterned paper! Love how those look together. I also thought the ribbon was a great way to add even more dimension and texture and I like how the color on it is the same as your "Love" sentiment. This really is a stunner and I'm so glad you shared it with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
Cheryl this card is GORGEOUS! I love your eye for color my dear! And I love the mats you created behind the focal panel! I am going to use this idea the next time I don't have a larger layering die available! Very clever and pretty! A BEAUTIFUL CARD!!!!
