I Love You

Hello hello crafty friends and thanks so much for coming back to another card tutorial. Today’s card of course will be for Valentine’s Day. However, this card can be used for a just because as well. Let’s get started!

I cut a panel to 4.25″ x 5.50″. I used this size all the time and trim it down to clean up the edges. I used my anti static tool on my panel. I used embossing ink and inked up my SSS Heart Garland background stamp. I used SSS White Embossing Powder and heat set it.

I grabbed Festive Berries oxide ink and started blending from the bottom up. After I got a good blend, I then used Spun sugar at the top of my panel. My goal was to have a even, smooth gradient. That’s always my goal. Sometimes I’m successful and others I have to start over and try again. But keep blending until you get your desired look. I used Black Soot oxide ink at the bottom to make it look like I used a darker red.

I cut out SSS I Love You shadow die cut about 4 times for dimension. I used SSS Smoke Gray cardstock for the shadow part. I assembled my card using the same gray cardstock as a card base. I finished it off with some embellishments. That’s it! I fun Valentine’s Day card or even a just because card read to go. Thanks so much for stopping by. The products I used and where I purchased them are listed below. All you have to do is click on the image and go shopping! See you next time.
