Hello crafty friends!! The new My Monthly Hero Kit will be release Monday, January 9th which means it’s countdown time!! This kit is so fun and there are a ton of possibilities, I can’t wait for you to see it!!
My card today is a fun and colorful valentine!

To create this card I first die cut the matchbox cover and inside out of Dove White cardstock. I then stamped “valentine” onto the cover in an ombre with Creamsicle, Fruit Punch and Taffy Reactive Inks. I then stamped over the “valentine” in Embossing & Watermark Ink and then poured over clear embossing powder and then heat set with my heat tool. Next, I ink blended over the cover with Pool Party Reactive Ink. After I ink blended a base layer of pool I then masked off the front and then ink blended the side and bottom darker.

Next, ink blended the matchbox inside with Sand. I also used masking tape to tape off the walls to enhance the illusion of depth. I then die cut the nesting hearts out of Dove White cardstock. Next, I ink blended the hearts with Creamsicle, Fruit Punch and Taffy Reactive Inks. I then constructed the matchbox cover and adhered the cover to the matchbox inside. Then I adhered the matchbox to the front of an A2 top-folding white card base.

Next, I adhered the nesting hearts to the matchbox with foam adhesive. I then stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment onto Pitch Black Cardstock. I then fussy cut the sentiment out and then finished the card by adhering the sentiment to the card front.
I hope you enjoyed my card. Thank you so much for stopping by!
