Video: Valentine's Day Card with Shaped Stamping

May Park

Today I incorporated the shaped stamping technique into my Valentine's Day card. I started by drawing a heart shape on a piece of white cardstock with a pencil as a guide. 

Then I stamped various images from following stamp sets: CherubsLove NotesLove, and Peace.

FYI, I used following inks for my stamping: Butter Bar, Lime GreenFresh PeachTide Pool, Wet Cement. I added tiny dots using a tip of alcohol markers between my images to fill in the gaps. 

Next, I heat embossed my sentiment from the Love Stamp & Cut with white embossing powder on a piece of red cardstock. Then I mounted the sentiment banner on the card front using 3M foam tame. 

I finished off my card by attaching some diamond gemstones on both sides of my sentiment banner. 

I made a video tutorial to show you how to make a card from start to finish. You can watch it above or in HD on YouTube
