For this hop, I wanted to create something that used embossing in various ways! I used the magnificent Floral Heart Die from Kat Scrappiness and heat embossed the first layer using Midnight Dream, Totally Teal and Lime Ricky embossing powders. I added a black shadow using a marker for the second layer and some Midas Touch for the third. Here is how adding multiple layers makes the first layer pop! I then adhered to an embossed panel to finish it off!

I love how this card turned out! If you are new to my work, be sure to check out my instagram (@handmadebykavya) for more of my work. I usually don't post all my works on my blog :)

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hey folks!

I hope everyone is safe and sound! Today's card uses MFT's Corner Blooms stamp available at Crafty Meraki to create a heart as a focal image. Yup, you don't have to use corner stamps for just corners anymore! With few alterations, this floral stamp proves to be a versatile addition to your craft stash. Here's how I made this card:

First, stamp the image on some 110lb cardstock and color using alcohol ink markers
Die cut a heart from pale gray cardstock and ink blend the edges using various shades of green
Cut one 'arm' of the corner blooms stamp (I decided to cut the one with two smaller flowers/the one placed on the right side of the heart)
Place the fuzzy cut pieces as follows (feel free to cut the leaves as well and place them wherever you desire!):

Add a sentiment and embellishments of your choice to finish it up! I used a sentiment from MFT Flower Fairies stamp set available at Crafty Meraki and some holographic clear sequins
For the background, dry emboss the panel using an embossing folder of your choice and mat it on a slightly larger piece of green cardstock to add some dimension!

Voila! You are done :) I hope you enjoyed this quick and short tutorial. I will be back in a few days with yet another way to use the corner blooms stamp from MFT!

Thanks,

Kavya

Supplies used:
