I Love Our Life Together

Flirty Flamingo; how I need to use this color more! Especially when you can combine it with free product from Saleabration! I used the Grapefruit Grove foil sheets which I earned for free with a $50 product order. Just a hint of foil paper under the All My Love Designer Series Paper teamed up with the die cut heart from Sunshine Wishes is striking.

8 single-sided sheets: 4 sheets Grapefruit Grove, 4 sheets Lovely Lipstick
* 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm)
* Acid free
* Lignin free

Here are the dimensions to re-create this card:

Flirty Flamingo card base cut 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2

All My Love Designer Series paper cut 4 1/4 x 3

All My Love Designer Series paper cut 1/2 x 4 1/4 for inside panel

Grapefruit Grove Foil sheet (2 pieces) cut 1/2 x 4 1/2

Grapefruit Grove Foil sheet for the heart from Sunshine Wishes

Whisper White panel for inside cut 4 x 5 1/4

Whisper White scrap for the die cut banner from Stitched Labels

Flirty Flamingo scrap for the stitched square

The stitched square in Flirty Flamingo sets the heart aside and ties it all together as well.

I used the Stitched Labels framelits banner and trimmed it down to a size that did not make the banner appear to be too heavy. I also set the banner to the right side so it did not cover up the shine of the foil sheets.

The Pearl Jewels are added to the top and bottom of the card at opposite ends and one small pearl is added to the banner on the left side. Another goal of mine for 2019 is use what I have. So if you have embellishments, rhinestones, jewels that you haven’t used and are hoarding, add them to a project. I’m hoping my bin is empty at the end of the year. I’ve got a long ways to go but am determined to reach that goal of using up my stash.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Let me know by leaving a comment in the box below.
