Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop - January 2021 | Inspired by Sending Hearts Kit

It's the weekend!  Time for some simply, fun stamping!  I have quite a few too many little orange boxes stacked in my craft room waiting to be loved on, so I am on a subscription hiatus until I get caught up... When Stefanie noted  that we could participate in this blog hop and share inspirations from the kit (you just can't help to be inspired by Paper Pumpkin), I just had to participate!  The January 2021 Paper Pumpkin Sending Hearts Kit inspired me to create today's project.  I hope that you enjoy this Out of the Box idea!  

Today's Project

Yesterday was a grooming day for my walking buddy, so the Sending Hearts kit was the perfect inspiration for a card to share with his groomer, Miss Judy.  As you know inspiration is everywhere so thankfully I already had some stamp sets, punches and dies to CAS(e) one of the cards that I saw on the video that Paper Pumpkin shared on Facebook (you can click here to view it).

I took this screenshot while watching the video so I had still shot to look at while creating.  Both layouts are inspiring and will be used for some more cards that's for sure!  Since I was creating a card from Benji for Miss Judy to be able to reuse if she so chooses, the card on the right is the one that I had to CAS(e). 

Project Details

I did a quick color switch...  all things black on the inspiration became all things red and vice versa! 

The True Love Designer Series Paper became the card front for the Thick Basic White vertical top folding card.  The Heartfelt heart image was stamped in Real Red onto the Basic White layer while the Kangaroo & Company hearts were inked in Memento ink and stamped three times in the heart outline using scraps as masking.  Additional Pampered Pets hearts were inked in Memento and randomly stamped.  The Pampered Pets paws were colored with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker and randomly stamped.  The majority of the hearts were colored with Dark Real Red and Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Markers... leaving some uncolored.  The Let's Create Together love image was stamped in Real Red ink on Basic White scraps, colored with the Dark Real Red Stampin' Blends Marker and fussy cut.  The Let's Create Together "you" was inked with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker, stamped on Basic White scraps and fussy cut.  The Real Red scalloped edge was cut from scraps with the Budding Blooms Dies, adhered to the colored layer and trimmed with paper snips.  The ribbon from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack was wrapped around the colored layer and tied off with a bow.  The layer was adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The "love" image was adhered with Adhesive Foam Strips.  The "you" image was adhered with a double layer of Adhesive Foam Strips.  Additional hearts were stamped on the envelope front and flap before putting running out the door to pick up my pup!
