Handmade card Love Makes Us Family Card using Stampin' Up! Lovely You stamp set by Peggy Noe of prettypapercards.com #lovelyyoustampset #foreverflourishingdies #floralheartdies #stampinup #peggynoe #prettypapercards

What makes a family? Love! All families look different, but it’s love that holds them together. And today’s card says just that!

For this card, a Basic White card base is topped with another piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White card stock embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. After the embossing, I used a Granny Apple Green ink pad upside down, and patted it on the top of the embossed areas. This method colors the higher embossed areas and adds tinted texture to the piece.

A beautiful Blushing Bride card stock heart was cut with the Floral Heart Dies and adhered to the embossed piece with dots of Multipurpose Glue. Soft Sea Foam and Granny Apple Green card stock was then cut with several of the Forever Flourishing Dies to create a lovely grouping of leaves. These were adhered at the base of the heart with dots of Multipurpose Glue. The dots were placed at the bottom of each of the leaves so that, once adhered, the top of the leaves could be pulled forward to look like they are coming off the page.

A few threads were pulled from the end of a piece of 1/2″ vanilla open-weave ribbon, in order to create a ruffled row. The row was adhered to the base of the heart with Stampin’ Seal +. The pretty label was stamped and tucked up under the ribbon, adhered with Multipurpose Glue.
