Stampin' Up's! statement of the heart-

Good Sunday evening stampers!
Today was a good day! I was able to stamp a lot and I came up with this beautiful card. I am so in love with the Love Letter #117162 designer paper. The possibilities are endless in my eyes.
Basic black, Riding Hood Red, and Very Vanilla just doesn't get any better than this. And with the antique brads (#109128) it's quite the show stopper!
Here's how I made this card:
Base: Basic Black. Cut 81/2 x 11 card stock in half at 4 1/4 then score in half again @ 5 1/2 and fold.
Layer one: Riding hood red. Cut down to 4 x 5 1/4. Run through the Big shot using the Perfect Polka dots embossing folder (#117335).
Tricky DSP maneuver: One one side of the Love Letter there is a pattern to run through the Big shot Top Note (#113463) die. It's look likes a wide ruled piece of paper. With the ruled edge on your left, where it should be if you were to write on it, you are going to trim it down and have fun aiming it to run it through the big shot. Sorry, wish I could do it for you!
Scallop circle flower: Page 123 in the catalog. Basic black.
Punch out 2: 1 3/4" scallop circle extra-large punch (119854).
Score the scallops from valley to valley ( in between the humps, the lovely lady lumps:))
Punch a small hole with the smallest hole punch on your Crop-A-Dile (#108362) in the middle of the scallop.
Cut in one of the score lines up to the hole on both scallops and STOP!
"Fan" fold the score lines.
Take the two halves and glue them together. Add your Antique brad (#117237) and a sentiment. Looking back I would like to see what a Riding hood red sentiment would look like!


Oh Well, maybe later!
Thanks Stampin' UP!
