Iron Stamper - Vellum Heart Card

Welcome to my Iron Stamper Series! If you are new to my blog and want to see what Iron Stamper is all about and look at my projects from the beginning, please start with this post.

Today I am show casing a card I ruthlessly cased from the Extraodinarily Talented Kimberly Van Deipen. She used an acrylic heart but I don't have any of the Window Sheets. What I DO have that I haven't played with nearly enough, is the 8-1/2x11" Vellum Paper, so I  made a few changes and came up with this card.

It starts with a card base of Blushing Bride onto which I layered a piece of Whisper White card stock and then a piece of Regal Rose that I'd run through my Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions folder. To Create the heart I first stamped the image from Take It To Heart using Chocolate Chip ink onto Whisper White card stock. I cut it out using the Hearts Collection Framelits dies which I also used to cut out two larger vellum hearts. I layered them all together then surrounded the heart with Basic Pearls Jewel Accents. The packet has a variety of sizes including these small ones that are all glued together in a line. It makes it super easy to create borders like this or swirls and other flourishes.

The rest of the card came together pretty easily. I stamped the banner image from Take It To Heart in Chocolate Chip onto Daffodil Delight and then created my ribbon "tail" with a piece of Chocolate Chip 1/2" Scallop Dots ribbon and a piece of 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon. To keep it all together I used a Fleurettes II Accents and Elements and a Mini Library Clip. The three mini tags were made with my Jewelry  Tag punch and Blushing Bride, Whisper White and Daffodil Delight card stock. The key image is from the Sale-a-Bration stamp set Elementary Elegance. This set will go away FOREVER tomorrow!! Place your orders of $60 to receive ONE FREE SALE-A-BRATION ITEM today!
