You Have My Whole Heart

I was fortunate to win a gift certificate for an online store in the AAA Cards Micro Hop and chose a voucher for Dies to Die For.  I'd had this MFT stamp and die on my wish list for a while so took the opportunity to buy it and make this card for Steve for our forthcoming wedding anniversary.  It's not our anniversary until 7 March but as he doesn't read my blog I can post the card now. 

I trimmed a piece of white card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and rounded the corners.  I die cut the heart in the centre of the panel and embossed the edges.  I placed the panel into my MISTI to  line up the sentiment before stamping it a couple of times with black ink.  I then attached the panel to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the heart from a snippet of black textured card and inlaid the frame and then die cut it again from lots of teeny snippets of red glitter card and inlaid these into the heart.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt pearlescent blank (pearl for our Pearl anniversary)
     My Favorite Things 'Heart Burst Hellos' stamp and coordinating 'Heart Burst' die
     Versafine Onyx black ink
     Woodware Corner Rounder Punch
     Snippets of white matt card, black textured card and red glitter card

I am entering the following challenges:

Easter Bunny

My final card to share today is one of my Easter cards and is perfect for the CASology 'Bunny' Challenge.  More snippets have been used so I'm into Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground again (three visits in one day - I would love that Penny Black stamp!).

Image and sentiment - freebie from magazine
Card from snippets drawer
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Promarkers

I attached a piece of Swiss Dots embossed card to my card blank.  I stamped the Bunny and sentiment onto white card - these were a magazine freebie a couple of years ago so I don't know the make - and then coloured them with Promakers.  I die cut the bunny image and attached it to a lilac lacey die cut from my snippets drawer.  The sentiment was attached to another piece of lilac card.  The images were then attached to the card front with foam tape.
