Charming Interactive Valentine

Today I am sharing a project I created featuring products from Simon Says Stamp. I posted this on Instagram as it is part of the To Be Loved hop. I hope you will hop along!

Products used:

~Always and Forever stamp set from Simon Says Stamp

~You Are cling stamp from Simon Says Stamp

~Heart Frames from Newton’s Nook Designs

How I created this:

I stamped the large heart image onto Hammermill 100# smooth card stock and colored it with Copic Markers.
I die cut it using the stitched heart die from the Heart Frames die set. (There is a coordinating die for the Always and Forever set and this would work as well)
I die cut a heart out of pink card stock and white card stock.
I stamped the You Are stamp, using Pebble ink from Concord and 9th, onto Fog card stock. Then, I cut that down to 3 3/4″ x 5″.
Next, I figured out where I wanted the hearts and lightly marked with a pencil where they would overlap on the Fog panel, so I could stamp th sentiment and have it be hidden by the hearts. I carefully erased the guides.
I scored the hearts using a score board approx. 1″ from the right side on the white stamped heart and 1″ from the left side of the pink heart. (I really just eye-balled this as I wanted the hearts to be on an angle on the card.)
I folded the scored hearts and adhered them to the back of the Fog panel. This created the interactive pieces. (see images below)
I stamped the sentement onto the white heart to finish the front of the card.
I added the third white heart to the back of the copic-colored, stamped heart. I cut part of the heart off since part of the stamped heart was folded behind the panel. This additional heart piece is just to cover up the ink that came through on my coloring.
I adhered all of this to a top folding A2 card base, added a few white gel pen dots to the flower centers and finished it off with a sheer bow.
