CARD RECIPE
Rustic Brick Wall Embossing Folder: For the soft pink embossed background.
- Tip: Mist the paper lightly with water before embossing to prevent cracking.
Lovely Layers: Window Die Set: For the intricate window, balcony, and greenery.
- Ink-blend the edges of the greenery with black ink to add depth and shadow.
- Add pink ink blending to the center of the flowers and top them with pink pearls from the Gingerbread Pearl Sticker Set for a soft touch.
Lovely Layers: Pinecone Die Set: For the adorable 3D bow.
Heart Hugs Die Set: Add a sweet heart to the bow for a Valentine’s vibe.
Lovely Layers: April Showers: The charming bird brings life to the balcony scene.
Great Greetings: Everyday Die Set: For the bold “Hello” sentiment, tying the entire card together.
Make It See-Through
- To create the see-through window, die-cut both the top layer and the top of the card base simultaneously using the same die through the die-cut machine. This will ensure both layers are perfectly aligned. If the bottom layer doesn’t cut all the way through, the die’s impression will serve as a guide to easily align and cut it again. I didn't use this method initially because I hadn’t planned to make the window see-through. As a result, it took a little more time to carefully align the top layer with the card base opening.
I love how cute this card turned out. The combination of soft pinks, lush greenery, and intricate details makes this card perfect for spring and Valentine’s Day!
