Ingredients for Sending Love with Sweet Conversations Card
Let’s step through the ingredients used for our card. Most are in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalogue, with the basics from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue.

Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper
There are infinite ways to express love, and we wanted to ensure the Sweet Talk 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper offered a variety of patterns that will allow you to create your own expression. Many of the patterns feature hearts (of course!), but you’ll also find versatile patterns such as stripes and polka dots that can be used any time for any occasion.

Gingham Embossing Folder
Add dimension to your projects with the Gingham Embossing Folder. This folder features a versatile pattern you can use for all of your paper crafting creations. Use it for a fun layer of texture.

Scalloped Contours Dies

Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Set
We are using the ‘Hello Baby’ for the “Baby” card option, as the greeting fits perfectly in one of the Sweet Conversations die-cuts. ‘I have you’ would also work with the die.
I love how there are a great variety of greetings in a casual font with this stamp set. It’s in Mini Catalogue.
You can say it all with the Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Set. Need to say congrats? We got you. Want to make a Mother’s Day card? No problem. Trying to say thanks? We got it. Want to say . . . something we haven’t listed yet? You guessed it—this stamp set has that, too. All in an elegant, script-style font you’re sure to love. Use these messages on cards, tags, and other projects.

We are using a couple of these stamps to decorate the inside of the card. It’s a very cute stamp set and does have co-ordinating dies.
Be a hit at your next baby shower with this All for Baby Stamp Set. Use these precious images separately, or combine them to create a drying line full of sweet little onesies, rompers, bibs, and more.

STEP BY STEP DIRECTIONS
-
- Burnish card base along score line.
- Adhere Gingham Embossed Basic White cardstock to card base.
- Next stamp your heart and greeting. They will both fit on the scrap of Basic White. Stamp chosen greeting in Real Red on scrap of Basic White cardstock, stamp ‘watercoloured’ heart in So Saffron on the same scrap of Basic White. Die-cut both hearts and retain for later.
- Adhere 10 x 6.8 cm piece of DSP to Scalloped Contours die-cut. It fits just inside the stitching!
- Adhere 2 die-cut heart strips (they each have 6 hearts) to the top of the DSP and Scalloped Contour element. They will overlap. Or trim the left hand piece to size.
- Adhere this piece to your card front.
- Make your little envelope.
- Arrange your stamped and die-cut hearts (from step 3) in/around your envelope. I glued mine to the envelope and then adhered all to the card front with Mini Dimensionals.
- For the card insert, adhere strip of DSP to the Basic White piece measuring 14.4 x10 cm.
- Choose your greeting and stamp in Real Red. Choose and stamp any other decoration. Arrange and glue your hearts.
- Adhere this completed piece to the inside of the card.
