Hello … bonjour! There’s still plenty of time left to play along with CASEplorations with the STAMPlorations Girls, where I’m still excited and honoured to be the CASE-ee this month … with this card from January 2015 …
and this is my second CASE, born from the first (here) …
Guess where all those luscious shimmery hearts came from … yep, they were the positives from the die cut space … and they were just too sweet not to use up. So I die cut the SSS grid (ETA now discontinued) into a white card panel and allowed the little hearts to arrange themselves on it, adhered them and covered them in copious quantities of Wink of Stella and some Glossy Accents. Some Distress Inks were blended onto another piece of card (same colour combo as the hearts), and the piece was trimmed and adhered to the base so that the colours would show through the grid and down the edge. The grid/heart panel was stamped with a STAMPlorations sentiment, I added a little bling, popped the panel up over the card base … and I was done.
So … if you haven’t already, how d’you feel about doing a little CASE-ing? I’d love to see your take on my card! All the details (including prizes!) are over on the STAMPlorations blog, along with loads of inspiration from the Design Team’s CASEs … that you really don’t want to miss! Look forward to seeing you in the gallery!
I’m playing along with …

Oh, Anita!!! This is one of my all time favorites! The colors, the glossy hearts, the sentiment font…love! Oh, how I hope I get some time this week to CASE you. Thanks so much for playing again at the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge….it makes me so happy to see you playing along!
So cool to get a chance to CASE one of your beautiful creations. I’m definitely going to join in, just seem to be running out of time to get anything finished at the moment. But looks like I will be home with Max tomorrow now (was home with Phoebe on Monday) as he now has her head cold. Not good for my gardening work but gives me a chance to catch up on my card making……
What a stunner, Anita! Love everything about it x
Another beauty! Love the contrast of the hearts with the grid. Cx
Anita…such a great use of the block grid! Just beautiful!
These are terrific! Is love to find that grid die, but don’t set it at SSS… ??
WOW, this is just FABULOUS, Anita!!!! I loved your first card, but I think I like this one even more!!!! It is so lovely and that grid die is just one of the best dies I’ve seen around!!! Your sponging is just so perfect – it looks wonderful and the colours are stunning!!!! Oh, this is soooooo beautiful, Anita!!!!! I just LOVE it!!!! (and I know IRL it looks even better than on the screen!!!!)
Have a great Wednesday!!!
Hugz
Ooh it’s gorgeous! Your colours are awesome and I love the shiny hearts! The grid is so cool, it’s such a fabulous die xxx
I recognise that die! I run out of adjectives to describe your cards Anita – what a fab take on your original card. The shiny hearts are absolutely divine. I really must try and join in..I’ve never done one of the Stamplorations challenges. Congrats on being ‘case of the month!’
It shows what a strong design you made the first time; have seen a lot case-cards but yours are so beautiful! Hugs, Gerrina
I love your CASE of your card, Anita. I forget to look at this challenge but now that I’ve seen your lovely, colorful creation I have a few things wandering in my brain to make.
This card is gorgeous in its simplicity and elegance! Thanks for joining the Simply Create Too challenge this month!
I love the inked colors behind the die cut and the glossy accents on the hearts!
Just beautiful Anita…love those sweet colors and all those wee hearts.
Absolutely love the gorgeous bright colours. Those sweet, shimmery, glossy hearts are the perfect finishing touch!
I was dazzled by the first two cards and now this one…quadruply dazzled! Your trellis, hearts, colours, layouts…the works…are design perfection!
