Inspired -- SSS August Card Kit

Made this for someone who inspires me all the time, both in card making and otherwise.   This may be showing up in your mail box!

1. The set that came with the Simon Says Stamp August card kit, Ice Cream Dreams, has this little circle with the heart.

2. Stamped a bunch of times with different shades of pink and orange and punched out a pile.

3. Moved them around until I was happy with the color placement.  Added an Altenew sentiment.

4. Before I adhered the sentiment, decided it needed something black to make the other colors pop.  This is where things usually go wrong...

5.  Took a scrap of black card stock and shaved a sliver with my paper trimmer.  Was going for the "one heart connected to another" -- may be an overreach here!  HA.

MOOD WHEN DONE = Inspired!

Just for You, Imperfectly

No apologies for rarely posting.  Insert the usual reasons....

Here's a close up of the sentiment.

Love this fun little card.  And so simple to make.  Not. for. me.

1.  Patterned paper.  Easy.  Cut and adhere to card. 
2.  Stamp the sentiment and trim.  Pain to trim.  Too small to cut with a trimmer and hand cutting not   perfect.
3. Adhere to center of card.  Missed.
4.  Trim card to make the sentiment in the center.
5.  Search for little heart die.  Oh yeah.  Don't have one.
6.  Stamp heart and hand trim.  Not perfect either.
7.  Adhere heart and add glossy accents to it.  Pop the bubble.  Yes, I do not shake the bottle.

MOOD WHEN DONE = Love the card and loved making it, imperfections and all.
