You Warm My Heart

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday afternoon! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the new You Warm My Heart digital card kit created ‘on the fly’ by Prickley Pear Stamps artist, Kayla Ruble, for Joy to use for her live today at the 2023 Virtual Maker’s Retreat! What a great job this artist did in record time! This sweet digital card kit includes two black and white line images, two pre-colored images, snowflake and heart background paper, and a sentiment panel. I used the kit to create an adorable holiday gate fold card!

Be sure to pop over and check out the happenings at the Makers Retreat going on October 3-7! Before I get to my project details, here are a few links that will surely come in handy:

I cut a standard A2 size gate fold card base from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Red Hot cardstock and the background paper in the digital card kit which I printed on Basis White. I created a layered oval panel using the Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Dies along with the sentiment panel in the kit and the Red Hot cardstock. I adhered a fussy cut pre-colored image to the panel and colored the heart on the coffee cup with a Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen. I affixed Eyelet Outlet red and white polka dot washi tape to Basis White cardstock strips which I adhered down both sides. The finishing touch was adding several iridescent gemstones to the snowflakes.

I cut the inside panel from Basis White and embellished it with a CutCardStock Blue Hydrangea cardstock strip and a washi tape strip. I stamped a sentiment from the Santa Koala and Mrs Claus stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink which completed the card.
