Places in the Heart Card

The Places in the Heart stamp set is perfect for conveying congratulations and support to a new mom. I used a technique that I have never tried before – coloring the back of an image that has been stamped on vellum.

To make this project, you’ll need the following supplies:

Cardstock/Paper: Smoky Slate (4 ¼” x 11”, scored at 5 ½”), Subtles 6” x 6” DSP (Petal Pink, 4 ¼” x 5 ½”), Basic White (4” x 5 ¼”), scraps of Smoky Slate and Petal Pink, Vellum (2 ½” x 4”)
Inks: Petal Pink and Basic Gray
Basic Tools: Snips, Trimmer, Adhesives (Glue, Glue Dots), Clear Blocks
Additional Tools/Supplies: Heart Pearls, Flirty Flamingo Blends Combo, Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends Collection, Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
Stamps/Dies: Places in the Heart stamp set, Stylish Shapes dies

To make this project, follow these steps:

Stamp mother/baby image on the vellum piece in Memento Ink – set aside to dry
Adhere the DSP panel to the card front (I used liquid glue)
Stamp smaller sentiment on a scrap of Smoky Slate and crop using the third smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies
Crop a banner out of Petal Pink using the second smallest banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies
Adhere the circle to the banner piece. Adhere this combination to the card front on the right side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals
Turn vellum piece over and using blends color the image (So you’ll be coloring the back of the vellum). Adhere to card front using a few glue dots
Finish the card off using some Heart Pearls
