LOVE phantom die cutting

Howdy peeps! Well, I have to ask… how is the weather where you are? It’s not too awfully bad here in southwestern Colorado. The temps are still a little warm but definitely tolerable. Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #76 – Anything Goes! I had this gorgeous Hot Off The Press paper pack out on my desk from another project and thought it would be so pretty to use to employ the phantom die cutting technique with the Love You die set from Prickley Pear Stamps! I absolutely love big sentiment dies and this turned out so pretty!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a pretty floral print in the Hot Off The Press Sweet Pea double-sided paper pack. Using the Prickley Pear Stamps Love You dies, I die cut the large LOVE sentiment into the floral layering panel. I die cut the word twice more from CutCardStock Kale Green cardstock, adhered them together and then into the negative space in the floral layering panel, and then adhered the floral one on top. The finishing touch was adding several hearts from the Buttons Galore & More Pink Sparkletz.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the floral print and dark green cardstock used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Memento Northern Pine ink.
