Today’s project is Made With Love. It’s a feminine card made with the Apron of Love bundle (Apron of Love stamp set and Apron Builder Framelits Dies.) You save 10% when you buy both products together in a bundle! Click here to see the masculine apron card I shared a few days ago.
Just like the other card, I used my Stylus that came with my Simply Scored scoring tool to draw lines on the oven mitt, to give it a quilted look. I used a piece of Tutti-frutti Designer Series Paper (DSP) for the fabric of the apron. Doesn’t it look like an apron from the 1940s or 1950s? I think my aunt Mildred had one just like it!
Here’s what I made:

When I first saw the Apron of Love Bundle, I immediately thought of making some cute feminine projects. Then I realized there are male elements in the bundle as well. So I was inspired to make today’s card for a Dad who loves to BBQ. We all know at least one of those, don’t we?
The bundle is $45, so all you have to do is add an ink pad, a pack of paper, or something else that is at least $5, and you get to choose a free Sale-A-Bration item!

Once again, my Rising Star friends decided to do a card swap for the new catalog. We each made 2 cards from 4 stamp sets, so 8 different cards total. Today I’m sharing one of the cards I made for the swap. I used the Cake Soiree stamp set (which comes in a bundle with the Sweet Cake Thinlits Dies to save you 10%!) and the coordinating Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper has a design with metallic silver on one side and a beautiful non-metallic designs on the other – all the designs are just lovely. I used one of the designs with silver on today’s card.
The Sweet Soiree paper has 12 different gorgeous patterns, 6 of them with silver!
Here’s what I made:

- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside
Stamped with the Cake Soiree stamp set:

- NOTE: I held the stamp and the ink pad at eye level so I could see where they met. I inked the lower part of the sentiment with the Berry Burst ink pad, then turned the stamp around and inked the upper part of the sentiment with the Old Olive ink pad.
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- Silver Foil layer glued onto the front of the card base
- DSP layer glued onto the Silver Foil layer
