Hugs and Kisses

Hello friends,  thanks so much for stopping by and for all of your lovely comments - each one is read and appreciated!   Seems a lot of people love the Shapeabilities Layered Tulip Etched Dies from the Indie Collection  I thought I would share another card created using them.  This time I have paired them with the Hugs Expressions Stamp and Die Set - Exclusive.

The Layered Tulips are cut/embossed from two shades of yellow card stock and adhered together with glue.  The shaded leaves have been created using two shades of card stock and have also been glued together.

For the card front I have cut/embossed white card stock using the largest die from the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Filigree Delight Card Creator Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine.  The die cut card front base has been layered onto pale green card stock, followed by being popped up onto a pre-cut slightly larger green card base.using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.

All of the flowers are popped up off of my card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares, which also adds some dimension.

Finally, I added my sentiment onto the card, cutting the word “Hugs” from black card stock and the background Die in pale yellow.  The sentiment has been glued onto the background die, then popped that across the lower stems of the tulips using 3D Foam Squares at each end off the card with foam tape. The smaller sentiment is from the stamp set that goes with the Hello Expressions Stamp and Die Set. using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black Ink onto white card stock for this small greeting.  This has been trimmed and glued onto slightly larger card stock, then across the lower portion of the die-cut sentiment.
