Cloud No. 9

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie on the blog today with a quick step by step process for a simple card focusing on using LDRS Creative’s, Cloud No. 9. I actually only used two of the stamps to create, what I think to be, a simple yet colorful card. 

The two stamps I use are the large and small heart balloons. I drew a heart as a template because I wanted all my stamping to be within that space and to create a heart. Before I do so, I used the Stamping Mask Paper to create a few masks for the balloons. If you haven't tried this mask paper, it's thicker than most so I definitely can reuse it more times than normal without the ink seeping through. 

Once I finish stamping out all the hearts to create the large heart shape, I add dots to sharpen the heart. I just use a few pens I have on my desk.  

I just picked a variety of colors to create a colorful final image. I trimmed down the A2 panel by half an inch. Since there's so much white space, I wanted to add a pop of patterned paper from the Sincerely Yours paper pad (PSA: It's currently on sale for $2.15 right now!) and chose a polka dotted black piece to contrast the color.  

To finish off this card, I wanted to add a sentiment but the ones from set were a little too large for the space I was envisioning. I grabbed one from the Love in Bloom stamp set, which has a large variety of sweet sentiments and worked perfectly for this card. 

I used watermark ink to stamp it on black cardstock so I could heat emboss it with white embossing powder. 

This sentiment finishes off the card and I think it's super cute. Valentine's Day is coming up and it's perfect for it or any occasion to tell someone you love them!
