Ink Road Stamps: Happy Valentine’s Day

Today I’m sharing a card on the Ink Road Stamps blog. I feature the Modern Romance and Mari Party stamps and Lacey’s DIY Window Dies – Stitched. This card looks simple and it is, but it did take some trial and error and me scratching my original idea.

Here is the tutorial I posted on the IRS blog. If you love any of the Ink Road Stamp products I used, use my discount code LACEY10 for 10% off all your Ink Road purchases.

  1. I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4″ w x 5.25″ h.

  2. Using Catherine Pooler Inks, I created a rainbow blended background. 

  1. I splattered on water and some shimmer to add more interest to this panel.

  1. Next, I cut out a window using the Lacey’s DIY Window Stitched Die out of the rainbow paper.

  2. Using embossable plastic, I adhered this to my blended card behind the window with tear tape.

  1. Then I masked off part of the “Happy Bday” stamp from Mari Party to stamp “Happy” with the hearts and stamped this on the plastic in black. I added clear embossing powder and heat set.

  2. Next I stamped “Valentine’s Day” in black ink and added clear embossing powder, then heat set.

  3. To create the shaker, I doubled up on foam adhesive so the sequins are able to shake around. I created walls around the opening and then filled the rest of the blended background piece with the foam adhesive. 

  1. I attached this to an A2 sized card base in white.



Thanks for stopping by! I love the rainbow blending on this card using the Catherine Pooler inks. I have a full list of products used below.

Have a crafty day!
