Heart Pearls Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

Last week’s Card & Cuppa had a love theme, with the new Country Bouquet Punch from the Mini Catalogue providing the heart shapes.

This project is great for Valentine’s Day, Engagement, Wedding, Anniversary wishes and more.

It also has a more rustic feel with the Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla colour combination. Poppy Parade provides the splash of red.

Background ‘splats’ and the sentiment are stamped using the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. First and Second Generation stamping is used for the splats to give some depth.

Hearts and the sentiment are cut out using the Country Bouquet Punch.

A length of Natural Finish Ribbon is looped together and stuck to the background. As this ribbon frays fairly easily, looping it together hides the ends on the inside.

The hearts are then stuck together and raised above the ribbon using Dimensionals.

Finally, Heart Pearls finish the project.

Here is the card I made some friends for their recent wedding.

As I helped design and make their wedding stationery, I knew their colour scheme, so wanted to match it.

We have Fresh Freesia, Gray Granite and Basic White.

They liked the Gray Granite as it was on this card I made them for their engagement.

There were lots of hearts on their stationery, so I have stuck with that theme, but used different products.

To begin with, I chose to design a square card.

I used Blending Brushes to create a masked strip down the centre of the background piece, with the colours joining together, as they are in marriage.

Across the card, I then stamped some tiny hearts in Versamark with an image from the Penguin Place Stamp Set. I embossed these using Clear Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool.

You can’t see the hearts very well in the pictures, but you can see them in the right light.

For the hearts, I die cut shapes using the Artisan Additions Dies and stuck these onto matching cardstock. The hearts were then cut out using the Heart Punch Pack.

These were raised up on Dimensionals.

A simple sentiment sits across the bottom, similar to their thank you card design.

Finally, a few of the pretty Heart Pearls add some more hearts to the card.
