This is my second post with the “Hearts of Elegance” Bundle.HERE was my first post with this product bundle. In February, I had time to play with this awesome bundle and created a few cards. However, lately, it seems that my days have been quite busy as I am again preparing for another local vendor event the first weekend in May. This particular bundle is found on the Stampin’ Up! website under “On-Line Exclusives”.
The “fold” of this card is at the two top edges of the “heart”. Basically, I placed the heart die just below the “fold” of the card stock before running it through the “Die Cut and Emboss Machine”. The smaller heart layer was die cut from the “Marbeled Elegance” DSP. I absolutely love the “pierced” border on this die as it adds great detail! I stamped the flowers and leaves from this stamp set and die cut those as well. The “tag” die is from the “Greetings of the Season” Dies which sadly are no longer available. However, you could substitute several other punched or diecut shapes for your greeting. A few of the items in the “Hearts of Elegance” suite of products are retiring and can be found on the “Last Chance” products. The stamp/die bundle along with the DSP are still available.
Here’s a view of the inside of this cute card. You can really see the “pierced” border on the white card stock. Absolutely loved how this super easy card turned out!
Celebrate Love Mix & Match Ephemera Pack
My second and last Valentine’s card uses the “Celebrate Love Mix & Match Ephemera Pack”. The card base is Bubble Bath with a Melon Mambo accent layer. Also, I used a few elements from the ephemera pack. I chose to color a few of the elements with Stampin’ Blends to lend a bit more interest and help create my focal point.
These Ephemera Packs contain numerous precut images that make creating cards easy peasy. Just let your imagination or vision guide you through the creating process! I absolutely loved the simplicity and ease in creating this card!
Quite embarrassed that it has taken me this long to post my samples using the “Hearts of Elegance” Bundle. I managed to create several cards for Valentine’s Day, but was quite busy with a vendor event and literally forgot to post my samples.
This first card uses the “Hearts of Elegance” Bundle, the “Marbeled Elegance” DSP and the “Gold Twisted Thread.” This “suite” of products are featured on the Stampin’ Up! website lunder “On-line Exclusives“. I absolutely love this set of “Dies” and the DSP and am hard pressed to pick which one is my favorite! This card also incorporates a “fun fold” so that when you open the card, you see both the front and the inside of the card. This “fun fold” is super easy!
I also used a few additional products when I created this sample. I used the “So Swirly” Embossing Folder on a narrow panel on the front left side of the card. The large “Tag” die is from “Greetings of the Season” Dies, which are currently on the “Last Chance Products” and offered at a 30% savings! You can find the “Gold Twisted Thread” and the “Gold Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins” on the Stampin’ Up! site under “On-Line Exclusives”. I also incorporated some “Gold Foil” Sheets behind the small DSP cut out heart. Here are two additional photos so that you can see the “fun fold” of this card.

My next card is super simple to create with the help of the “Hearts of Elegance” Bundle and another print from the “Marbled Elegance DSP”. To complete the card, I added a bow with the “Twisted Gold Thread” and a “Gold Adhesive Backed Heart Sequin”. I placed the front die cut panel up on “Dimensionals”.
This card turned out to be super simple and quite striking! Honestly, this entire “suite” of products are absolutely stunning and easy to create with!
Just over two weeks ago I promised to post a few more samples with the A Little Bit Festive DSP. However, I also participated in another “Vendor” event the weekend before Valentine’s Day. At the “Chocolate Walk” event, I was able to “cutely” package up chocolate candy treats to sell. I was fortunate enough to sell out of my “candy” treats within the first two hours! I was also excited that I did sell 6-7 of my handcrafted greeting cards! Honestly, I don’t make a lot of money at these type of events, but it does help me to get my name out there in the community.
As previously promised, here are a few more samples utilizing the A Little Bit Festive DSP. Currently, this pack of DSP is discounted 30% on the “Last Chance Products” List on the Stampin’ Up! website. Basically, with the die cuts in this pack of DSP, it was super easy to create several quick and cute cards for Christmas. HERE is my first post with the A Little Bit Festive DSP.
The above card was super easy. The striped DSP is one of the prints in this pack of DSP. A scalloped and stitched rectangle die to mat the candy canes on. The white stripes on the candy canes “shimmer” as “Wink of Stella” was added to the die cut image.
My next card used one (of many) die cut “frames”. I just added a greeting, a red ribbon bow and some “Wink of Stella” on the evergreen berries for a soft shimmer which is difficult to capture in a photo. Super cute and easy card!
A Few More Samples!
The above card used some of the smaller die cuts in this DSP pack. The white layer was embossed to look like snow was falling. I added some “Wink of Stella” to the tree branches and where the bottom of the trees touch the ground. I chose a small greeting that fit on a “banner” die cut to help complete this card. Super easy and cute!
For the two tags shown below, I used two of the smaller die cuts from the DSP pack. In true disclosure, I made a gift card holder along with a money/check holder, but forgot to take photos of them, figures! I love that these tags were very quick and easy projects and used minimal additional supplies such as Ribbon, Twine, Dimensionals, some CS and DSP.
