Trinity Stamps- Crafty Hugs Release

Happy Trinity Stamps January Release Day!  We have an amazing release for you with so many fun projects and so much inspiration!  Oh, and prizes...we have those too.  😀

Are you ready for it?  Here....we.... go!!!!!!!!!

OK, here is my first project and admittedly my favorite.  It just looks yummy with the rainbows and everything and the message makes my heart happy.  

As you can see, it is a lift the tab card with a special message inside. Wait for it.....

BAM!  All together it says "your existence makes this world better."  I can think of a few people I might like to give this to. :)

To make this one I cut my top white layer to 4.25 X 4.25.  I used the Foundation Circle Stencils, starting with the smallest outer circle and applying red distress ink with my Blending Buddy.  Then I went up a size on the outside and used the smallest inside circle to create the next ring in orange and so on.  Then I cut the lift up flap using a die.  After I masked and stamped the image from the Better Place stamp set.  I stamped it again on white and colored with Copics and popped up specific spots and added the Boiled Sugar Jelly Drop Hearts.  I added glossy accents to the heart and set this layer aside to dry. 

Then I worked on the base layer of 4.25 X 8.5 (folded in half) by distressing it in the same blue.  Then I used the discarded portion of the previous stamp on white, the "better" portion, and colored in in rainbow with my Copics.  Again, I popped it up on my card, on the base layer.  I added a little strip of paper below.  Then I mounted the top layer using double layer of foam tape.  After that I added a few more Cinnamon Red Hot Jelly Drop Hearts inside.
