By Lisa Allen

This is actually one of those homemade cards that are really fun to do and involve some embossing for a more elegant look and feel.

Products Used:

• White card stock
• Stamps
• 3 Hearts (Hero Arts)
• Rings (Inkadinkado)
• Mr. and Mrs. (Stampendous)
• Cuttlebug Embossing Folder-Scrollwork
• Heat and Bond
• Ultra Fine Glitter Crystal (Art Glitter)
• Tacky Tape
• Pearl Gemstones
• Versamark Ink
• Memento Ink-Tuxedo Black
• Stamp-a-ma-jig
• Bow Easy
• Zots
• White satin ribbon
• Die Cut Machine
• Heat Gun
• Tag Punch

Finished Card Size: 8”x 5⅜”

How it is made:

1. Cut white card 8”x 10¾”. Score at 5⅜”. This will form your card base.
   
   
   
   
2. Cut a mat for the card front with white card stock. Cut the mat at 7¾”x 5⅛”. Apply tacky tape 1” from the edge on the left and right and a ¼” from the top and bottom edge.
   
   
   
   
3. Remove the backing to expose the adhesive. Apply crystal ultra fine glitter to the tacky tape. Adhere to the card front.
   
   
   
   
4. Cut white card stock at 5½”x 4”. Emboss white card stock with the Scrollwork embossing folder and die cut machine.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Using the Stamp-a-ma-jig, stamp hearts with Versamark ink in the center of the embossed card stock. Add Heat and Bond to the stamped image and heat with a heat gun. Add crystal glitter to the image. Adhere card stock to the center of the card front.
   
   
   
   
6. Add pearl gemstones to the card front on the scrollwork embossing.
   
   
   
   
7. Using the white satin ribbon and the bow easy, I made a small bow and add to card front just under the hearts using Zots.
   
   
   
   
8. Stamp the Mr. and Mrs. on a scrap of white card stock with Tuxedo Black.
   
   
   
   Using a tag punch, punch out the words and apply to the card front with the bow.
