Have a Valentine’s Day card for ya… and a class giveaway. First, the very-glittery card…
This was much easier than it looks…
I started by adding Be Creative double sided tape to a piece of white cardstock, leaving the other side of the tape’s release paper on it. I placed the Hero Arts fancy heart die down onto the release paper side and ran it through my machine. Since I didn’t use a shim and the piece I am cutting is thick, it doesn’t cut completely through all the layers so the back (cardstock) stays complete. I removed the heart outline release paper and added the red Glitter Ritz. After rubbing it on well, I removed the rest of the release paper and added Cool Highlights (colorless) Glitter Ritz. Finally, I burnished the whole piece with a bone folder making sure that none of the glitter came off. This is fast and easy and gives a great “wow” effect.
And the background… I stamped the tweed with Hero Arts White Dye Ink. This ink is really cool – it gives very subtle and soft results – great for a background like this on kraft. (It you want intense and solid color, use Hero Arts Unicorm White Ink instead.)
Supplies are below.
Next, I have another class that may be of interest to you. I am honored to be a guest in my dear friend Lisa Spangler’s class with Studio Calico called You’ve Got Mail.
This class with be filled with lots of cards, a free stamp set and free downloads. For more information, head HERE.

I wasn’t able to keep up with the Clean & Simple 2 homework.
I enjoyed all the videos though. I’m hoping to do better with You’ve Got Mail. See you there.
Thanks for the chance to win this!
Holy guacamole, that heart card is pretty. I’ve got a hundred sheets of glitter over here but haven’t produced anything remotely as wonderful as that heart you have there with it. I stand in admiration.
