Hello Stampers!
Welcome to the Stamp It Group Valentines Day Blog Hop! I am so excited to see all the pretties everyone has created.
You have probably arrived at my page from the awesome Stephanie Kolker’s blog. If not, and I am your first stop no worries!
Simply use the Previous / Next buttons at the bottom of this post to navigate your way around the hop.
I’ve created 2 Valentines Day cards for you today. I once again used my favorite Bloomin’ Love Photopolymer Bundle then added my new favorite product Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
This card was made using Whisper White Thick Card Stock as the base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ Scored at 4 1/4″
Blushing Bride Card Stock cut at 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″ I used Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to lightly cover the edges, that show, to give it a gorgeous glimmer. Then I used Whisper White Card Stock cut at 4″ X 5 1/4″
I cut out the, so delicate, silver heart with Silver Foil Sheets. It cuts so beautifully on the Big Shot, using the Precision Base Plate. The flowers are Blushing Bride card stock. I covered them with Wink of Stella as well. I stamped the sentiment on Whisper White Card stock with the Blushing Bride Ink Pad and punched it out with 2″ Circle Punch. I also used the same punch to punch a blushing bride circle. I cut it in half and used my Wink of Stella around the edges. I then layered it behind my sentiment at the top and bottom. I felt I needed more silver to I cut a Silver Metallic Foil Doilie in half and layered it behind the sentiment as well. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to make everything pop.
I just love how the Wink of Stella makes everything sparkle. I am obsessed with this stuff.
A close up so you can see how pretty the Silver Foil and Blushing Bride, covered in Wink of Stella, are.
This card is made with Blushing Bride Card Stock 4 1/4″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
Melon Mambo Cardstock cut at 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″ then covered the edges with the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. Then a piece of Whisper White Cardstock cut at 4″ X 5 1/4″. I stamped the banner with Blushing Bride Ink Pad, the sentiment with Melon Mambo Ink Pad and added tiny Pearl Basic Jewels.
The heart actually came about by accident. I was using my Hearts Decorative Mask on Whisper White Cardstock, applying Blushing Bride Ink with a Sponge Dauber. I tried and tried to work it into a card and it just did not work. I was going to just toss it aside and thought hmmm it might look neat cut out with the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Die. I liked it but it needed something. So, I lightly sponged it with Blushing Bride Ink to get a tone on tone look. Then I thought, heck, I have covered everything else with Wink of Stella I might as well do this heart too. The flowers are Melon Mambo Cardstock covered with, you guessed it, Wink of Stella and finished off with pearls in the center. I again applied the heart with dimensionals to make it pop.
Here is a close up of the heart so you can see the tone on tone color and how the Wink of Stella just makes it extra special
I hope you enjoyed my cards today. A complete list of supplies for each card will be listed at the bottom of this post.

Using aluminum foil is an absolutely awesome, inspiring idea! I love, love, love the pink and silver combination used in this #stampitcontest Sheri.

Cyndy, I actually used the Stampin Up Foil paper. It’s a little thicker than aluminum foil. But, aluminum foil might work too.
Thanks so much for your sweet comments.
