Make A Difference with the Strong of Heart Stampset

The Strong Of Heart Stamp Set is a great one for creating some encouragement cards to send to anyone who might need some right now. When you purchase this set, you get love and encouragement sentiments and images that are perfect for cardmaking. You’ll also get those warm fuzzy feelings that come along with doing something good 🙂

As part of Stampin’ Up!’s commitment to giving back to the community, for each Strong of Heart Stamp Set purchased, Stampin’ Up! will donate $4.25 to support heart health. Go ahead! Have a heart (stamp) and make a difference too. You’ll be glad you did.

I was inspired by fellow Inky Fingers Team Member Vanessa Chivers to make this card on our World Card Making Day on Zoom! (I should mention too that the original card that inspired her was made by another lovely Demonstrator friend Linda Dalke…..inspiration is everywhere!) I’ve used the same technique as them with embossing and the Stampin’ Blends. I first embossed the bold heart image in White Embossing Powder onto Basic Black cardstock. Then I selected all my purple coloured Stampin’ Blends (colours are listed below) and coloured over the top of the embossing to create this cool effect against the dark back ground.

I’m really happy with the monochrome look of this card (besides, purple is my favourite colour…..and Stampin’ Up! has at least 5 in their current colour collection!)
