Rubber Stamp Tapestry’s Heart Deco Love You Card

I love cardstock and the incredible preprinted patterns that find their way onto our scrapbook and card layouts. But there’s something I like equally as much – creating my own backgrounds with the good quality inks and stamps. When my downstate Delaware customers steered me towards Rubber Stamp Tapestry, I knew I found the perfect medium for creating stunning but simple backgrounds every time.

I created a three-layered card with an A2 cream-colored card base. Layer 2 is Sour Apple Green cardstock from the Paper Cut which is 3 ¾” x 4 ½”. The top layer is made from the cream colored cardstock measuring 3 ¼” x 4”.

I edged all three layers with ME302 Love Letter using my Darice sponge dauber. I created the red heart on the top layer with the Rubber Stamp Tapestry’s heart stencil, my sponge dauber, and ME 302 Love Letter Memento ink. I then punched a heart out of a scrap of cream cardstock using my Fiskar’s Heart Punch, I created color with my sponge dauber and my ME302 and stamped a “love you” sentiment with Versamark ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with Sparkle N Sprinkle EP Black Detail Embossing Powder and heated it with my Heat Gun.

Next I stamped the leaves around the bottom and top layers with ME706 Pistachio and the flourish with ME802 Peanut Brittle. I stamped the middle and top layers with hearts using ME302. I used foam tape to raise each layer above the preceding one and attached the heart on top with foam tape as well.
