Stampin’ Up! Love For You for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s a colorful For You card that can be used to send good wishes for many happy occasions. I used the fun Stampin’ Up! Love For You stamp set and dies from the current Annual catalog with the pretty Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week and I managed to use 5 of the 6 colors:

And I was inspired by the sketch in Sunday Stamps Challenges SSC324 Be Bold.

I adhered a panel of Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham designer series paper to the front of a Blueberry Bushel card base with liquid glue. I cut Basic White and Blueberry Bushel panels with the Countryside Corners dies and embossed the Basic White panel with the cross hatch design from the Basics Embossing Folders before adhering them together.

I cut the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Love For You dies from Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green card stocks and adhered the detailed words on the backgrounds. I adhered the words to the embossed die cut with liquid glue. The flowers and leaves in the stamp set are two-step stamping designs, so I stamped them in Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce. I stamped the background stamps first in stamped-off colors and then the detailed stamps full strength. I stamped the flower centers in Crushed Curry. Then I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the embossed panel with glue dots.

I adhered the decorated panel to the card front with dimensionals on a diagonal – so fun! I finished with Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Love For You stamp set in Poppy Parade ink using the same methods as the flowers on the card front. I covered the flower with a mask and stamped the leaves in Shaded Spruce. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Love For You stamp and dies are a fun set. I love the word dies and there are so many different ways you can combine them. I look forward to using this set for a Valentine’s card soon!
