Below are the two projects I made for this hop, featuring the Best Place to Be stamp set.
This is such an adorable stamp set with the two little gnomes snuggling and their hats tied in a bow! And I love that his beard is braided just like her hair.
Then there are the 3 other images in this set; the branch of flowers, the bird and the bee. I am just in love with this set because of these extra images. You could make a card with this set that does not even include the gnomes. And the sentiment reads; together is the best place to be. Such a versatile set because you can use it for Valentine's cards or any other time.
Now let's talk about that background on my card. It's a new Slimline die! It is the Slimline Sweetheart Panel Die. When you die cut this there are 21 hearts that cut from it, the die leaves a stitched line around each of them. And the die also creates an embossed line around the entire edge. This die is 8-1/2" x 3-1/2".
I glued three of these die cuts together for some dimension on the back of my card. And I dusted the edge with some Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink. After that I splattered the panel with some Perfect Pearls.
Then I added my stamped and die cut images. The coordinating die set for this stamp set has a die to cut out every image, even the sentiment.
I finished off this card by adding some glaze to each of the bees to give them a shiny look.
I loved the story book feel of this card so much that I made a coordinating book mark.
The base of this book mark is a scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Card Panels and Banners die set. It is the smallest panel in the die set and I love using it to make bookmarks. I used it in this video for a shaker book mark. I also used two of the banner dies in this die set for the sentiments on today's projects.
The rectangle panel layered onto the scalloped measures; 2-1/8 " x 7-1/8". I stamped the floral branch image repeatedly on this panel for a floral background. It also has a dusting of Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink around the edge, as well as a splattering of Perfect Pearls.
I colored my gnomes up slightly different for this project, coloring them up in different ways is what makes them so much fun. You can make them bright and bold colors for a summery feel, warm and rich colors for a fall feel, so many possibilities.
I love the little bird perched on their hats.
The bees also got a coat of glaze on this bookmark. One of the bees is die cut out and the other two are stamped right on the background. I thought this might show a bit of depth. And because I did not want to use foam squares on a book mark I added a second die cut of the bee behind the die cut bee to give it a bit of dimension.
I added the heat embossed sentiment to the twine at the top fo the tag to finish off the bookmark.
I love how these projects turned out, it's a bit of a change from the usual colors I use and I could not be happier with the results. Bold and Bright is always my go too, but I am loving making softer cards lately too.
