Hello … bonjour … happy Monday to you! I’m thrilled and delighted today to be joining the STAMPlorations Girls as their CASEplorations Guest Designer for February … what an honour to be CASEd by such a talented group of designers! One of my previous cards was chosen as the CASE-ee … this one from January last year …
… and here’s my CASE …
I focused on the colour scheme, heart shaped images, some negative die cut space and platinum (or should that be platin-yum!) embossing powder. The changes were the layout, the popped up and interlocking die cut shapes and the heat embossed trim top and bottom. The larger hearts are from SSS … they were ombré stamped, die cut and had the little hearts (also SSS) cut into them. Once I’d decided on the dancing line layout, I used the large die again to cut spaces into each heart (except the last), so that they ended up interlocked, a bit like a jigsaw puzzle. I masked, Versamarked and heat embossed the strips top and bottom of the card base, and stamped and embossed the STAMPlorations sentiment. The dancing hearts were popped up on foam tape on the card base and I finished off with a coat or three of Wink of Stella to make them all shimmery … you can see it best on the first one.
So … feel like doing a little CASE-ing? I’d love to see your take on my card! Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for all the details (including prizes!) … and for a heap of inspiration from the Design Team’s CASEs. Hope to see you in the gallery!
I’m playing along with …

Such a wonderful CASE of your ‘true Love’ card! You always pick such pretty colors, and they always make me smile. This card, with its dancing hearts is pure delight. Going from the rich pink to the sweet Springtime yellow was the perfect choice. Absolutely love the embossed gold bands at the top and bottom too. Love this! And I miss you tons!!!! : )
Love this – can’t believe my OLS card works for your challenge – great minds definitely think alike! lol!
What a wonderful design, Anita! I’d LOve to CASE your card! Your use of the die to ‘interlock’ the hearts is brilliant! xx

This is truly a dancing delight ❤️ Love your colours, the interlocking hearts and your clever change of the layout :)))
I am going to work this one from all of your inspiration!

Anita I love both cards, your hearts with the tiny hearts cut out are so sweet!
Think it is strange but fun to case your own card… The ombre looks so great on this one and again a stunning CAS-lay-out! Hugs, Gerrina
CONGRATS on your CASEplorations guest designer gig! Well deserved 🙂
Well pal….you have quite literally outdone yourself with this beauty! Adored version one, but a few wee changes like the SWEET bit of gold on version two rocks! Great sentiment selection – the font is (once again) perfect for the whimsical hearts!
Thank you for the inspiration and allowing me to CASE your card. Absolutely gorgeous, beautiful colours and stunning layour on your card, thanks x
Both of your cards are fantastic love how really CAS and at same time elegant.
Congrats on being the ‘card-to-case’, Anita. You did a perfect job of CASEing your own. Interlocking those hearts was genius, and probably time consuming but well worth it.
Love your ombre & the mini hearts inside the larger ones. Fabulous card x Lindsey Uniko DT
Perfect take on your own card Anita! Both are simply fabulous!
Oh Anita, both of these cards are fabulous. Love the heat embossing on your new card and the colour scheme is gorgeous. Cx
A big congrats to you on your GDT gig Anita! Your card is an amazing CASE! I love the hearts with the little hearts cut out of them, the colors are fabulous-so bright and cheery! Hugs, Brenda
Oh I love both the original and the re-make. LOVE the shine on the top and bottom edge. Love the little hearts within hearts and the placement along the bottom with the hombre color scheme! Thanks for linking up and playing along with us at AAA Cards.
Both cards are absolutely stunning Anita! I just love the ombre hearts that you created – they are so pretty. Congrats on being CASE-d – both cards are so inspirational – I am definitely going to find some time to play along. Hugs, Jill
I think they are both stunning cards! I do like the ombre colours as the hearts move across the card. Beautiful and fun too! Thanks so much for playing along with our Anything Goes challenge at Uniko this month! Deborah, DT.
LOVE how you have CASEd yourself! Love the colours and layout of both your cards, very inspiring. Thanks so much for linking up at Uniko. Hugs Bev x
Congratulations on your Featured Designer role…so well deserved and such delightful inspiration you’ve brought along! Your circles with hearts and hearts with hearts, in their cheery, warm sunrise colours are lovely…truly lovely!
