Well January is off to a rocky start. I hadn't had classes since October due to the death of my mother, the holidays and then some health issues afterward. Seems one of my conditions decided to rear it's ugly head the morning of my Wednesday a.m. class so I had to cancel at the last minute.
Happy news is, I had a new face at class on Tuesday night and possibly a new hair stylist! And she lives in the neighborhood! It was also good to reconnect with class members/friends again on Tuesday night.
This is one of the cards we made using the "Geared Up Garage" bundle, which is part of a suite of products, including embellishments, DSP and ribbon which can all be found on page 43 of the Occasions catalog.
Purchase this bundle with the DSP, embellishments or ribbon and get a free item from the Sale-a-bration catalog!
I CASE'D this from Frenchie Stamps. There are so few masculine Valentine cards and I really love this one.
First we die cut the heart with stitched heart from the "Meant to Be" bundle and the emblem from Garage Gears in Champagne foil.

Then we embossed the heart using the Embossing Mats from page 221 of our 2018-2019 Annual catalog.
I hadn't used the Embossing Mats too much until now. It's a great way to extend the use of your Thinlits and Framelits. Here is the "sandwich" for using the Embossing Mats.
- Big Shot Platform
- Clear Plate
- Die with cutting side up
- Card stock on top of die (if you are using foil, place it right side down)
- Silicone rubber mat (blue for a lighter impression, gray for a deeper impression)
- White Impressions pad.

We stamped the sentiment and the also cut this out with the emblem shaped die, which fits perfectly in the space. I adhered this first to the card and then the emblem around it, and adhered it using Glue Dots.
This stamp set is one of the new Cling stamps, which have just been released in this Occasions catalog. Check out my video, located here on my blog, on how to adhere the labels and another helpful tip for your Clear stamps.
Here are the dimensions of the cardstock:
Whisper White, 5-1/4" x 4" (inside) and a scrap for the sentiment.
Champagne Foil 4" x 3-1/2" for heart and emblem
Basic Black 4-1/4" x 1-1/4", 5-1/2" x 4-1/4"
Cherry Cobbler 5-1/4" x 4"
