I recently made a Valentine card for my husband using this die but I didn't really use the stamps as they were meant to be used. These stamps wrap around the die as you can see in the photo above.
I will list some of the details below but you can also click HERE to get to my YouTube channel and see how I made this card:
I used an 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of Neenah 110# solar white card stock. I cut this paper in half on the horizontal so that it measures 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, then cutting turning the paper on the horizontal again, so I could score it at 4 1/4 which gives me a standard A2 card size. I used the heavier weighted paper so that it would give me more stability but you could also use a lighter weight card stock.
Once scored, you will be able to use the score line to help you see where the front of the card will be and use that to help position your die correctly on the card base. Once I had the die positioned, I secured it with some Washi tape and ran it through my die cutter, using the window frame die from the card kit.
I placed the card base in my Misti Stamp Positioning tool and stamped the balloon stamps around the windows that were just cut out. I stamped using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black, as this is a copic friendly ink. I colored the balloons with Copic markers but I think these would also be pretty done with colored pencils. I think water color would also be beautiful..
Using a blending brush, I brushed on some Tim Holtz Distress Inks in "Orange Marmalade" near the bottom and then blended that into some "Picked Raspberry". Then using the same "Picked Raspberry" I inked over a polka dot stencil to give a little more interest near the top of the card.
Using some double stick tape, I attached a clear piece of acetate behind the cut out windows. Then on a piece patterned paper I attached some more balloons that I had stamped, colored and cut out. I glued that patterned paper behind the acetate windows so that the additional cut out balloons would be visible in the windows.
Some of my cards were made into shaker cards. In those cards I placed different types of hearts and chunky glitter. For more information on how to make shaker cards, you can watch THIS VIDEO, and I have a couple more as well over on my channel.
