You Make My Heart Sing

Hello my friends, I'm back to share a 4" square card I rescued from disaster and made using the Simon Says Stamp Tweet Friend 6" x 8" stamp set and Drifting Flowers Embossing Folder from the recent Favorite Things release but also included in the Tweet Friend March 2025 card kit. The minute I saw this embossing folder I knew it would be perfect for the blackout technique, one of my favourite ways to use an embossing folder.

I trimmed the Paper Rose Flower Shoppe pink script patterned paper included in the March 2025 card kit to 3.3/4" x 5", embossed with the Drifting Flowers Embossing Folder with the debossing on the pink side of the paper.
I dragged the Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink pad, also included in the kit, over the surface of the paper.
I die-cut a frame from Distress Watercolor card, fixed to the panel with Distress Collage Medium and added a left over strip of the pink script paper.
I stamped the images and sentiments from the Tweet Friend stamp set, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and die-cut using the co-ordinating Tweet Friend dies.
Miss Super Clumsy then dropped the ink pad on to the panel, leaving a huge black stain. No way was I going to waste this beautiful background, so I trimmed the bottom of the panel to 3.3/4" and fixed the die-cuts in place using Distress Collage Medium. I did die-cut the Sing sentiment twice more and layered to create dimension. I re-stamped the bird and flower on to the last scrap of the pink script paper, fussy cut and fixed on top of the original images.
I die-cut the hearts from the pink script paper, fixed to the frame using Distress Collage Medium, matted the panel on to a 4" square white card blank and patted myself on the back for avoiding, on this occasion, a crafting disaster.


Back soon with more crafty makes, in the meantime, have fun with whatever you are making.
