Birthday Hearts – From My Heart – Stampin’ Up!

I have this bright and definitely red birthday hearts card to share with you today. Normally I don’t like lots of hearts but I seriously love the From My Heart designer series paper (DSP). I think it’s because it is red and I adore red.

This card is very easy to make but still quite striking. I made another one where I had the hearts in a row so changed it up this time and made them in a column and it works well.

This paper was used a lot for Valentine’s Day and then forgot about which is sad. As you can see here it works well for birthdays or even friendship or thank you cards.

As I am writing this I am thinking that we could all do with a little extra love right now. How are you coping with the restrictions? I am in the UK and our restrictions are easing. I’m not too sure about this. My degree a long time ago was Molecular Biology and therefore I have to say I enjoy all the statistical data we are given and reading up about the science of it all. At the same time, it scares me as I know how easily things can go wrong as well.

Enough of the doom and gloom though and back to the card. I’ve used the colours in the DSP and punched the hearts out using the matching heart punch pack. The sentiment is from Butterfly Wishes and the font and size is great to fit in the timeless label punch.

From My Heart Balloons – Card Tutorial

I have this cute card to share with you today that I’m calling From My Heart Balloons. It combines both the From My Heart Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Balloon Bouquet punch.

I love that Stampin’ Up! makes coordination so easy but I need to remember that just because a suite of products has specific items in it, they can be mix and matched with all the other items in the catalogue. Here, I ‘ve used scraps of the From My Heart DSP not with the coordinating Heart punch but with the Balloon Bouquet punch to create heart patterned balloons.

I love the way the balloons are carrying the sentiment along in the wind. Indeed with the wind we’ve been having, I’m surprised they are not halfway to France by now.

I will admit I’m not the over-romantic sort and so paper covered in hearts would not normally appeal to me but I love this collection. I think it is because I love Real Red which is the red in this collection.

Maltesers Box – From My Heart – Stampin’ Up!

This box turns a simple box of Maltesers into something special. It is very easy to make and the paper does all the talking.

As I said this is a great way to jazz up a box of Maltesers. I’ve used the From My Heart Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is a great paper for Valentines’Day but also for any occasion when you want to celebrate someone. I love the foiling on each sheet which adds a touch of luxury.

The box is made in the style of a pizza box from one sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper. This includes the belly band. I would love to send this to an old school friend of mine in Sydney but I don’t think it would hold up in the post so I will have to send it via this blog.

Punched Love Hearts Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I’m back with this gorgeous punched love hearts card. This project uses products from the new Spring / Summer catalogue. Real Red is one of my favourite colours and here is paired with a colour I never use Flirty Flamingo. I think they go together rather well.

The designer series paper (DSP), “From My Heart” is beautiful. It has foiled hearts in both Real Red and Flirty Flamingo. The hearts are punched out with the duo pack hearts punch. I’ve fussy cut out the small hearts.

There are quite a few new punches in the new catalogue. I love this return to punches as they make for easy and simple crafting. They are easy to use in classes and require no additional machine to use.
