Bye Bye Love You Much!

This is my last post with Love You Much! I just sold it as I really hate this set. I know, gasp!!! I finished this for a swap I'm in and so long...
Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette
Stamp Set: so long to... Love You Much
Accessories: Candy Lane DSP, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, 1/8" Circle Punch, Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, Flower Fusion, brads, Stampin' Dimensionals.
1/29/09 Edited to add dimensions
1. Start with a half sheet of paper, 8 1/2" x 11". Cut 1 1/4" off one side (front) and use the corner rounder on the top back two corners only.
2. Chocolate Chip cardstock is 6 1/4" x 4", score at 2 1/2". Fold on score line. This piece does not reach to the middle on the inside, it is about 1/4" from the center score line. It just worked out that way, you can make it longer if it bugs you. Because the Chocolate Chip is dark to write on, I put a piece of the light pink DSP in the Candy Lane DSP pack on it, size 3 3/4" x 3 1/2".
3. Whisper White piece is 3 3/4" x 2 1/4". Stamp image.
4. Striped DSP on the bottom of the card is 5 1/4" x 2 3/4".
5. I put stampin' dimensionals on only the lower half of the scallop circle I used as the closure

    I really like this style of card, can I have the dimensions or instructions too? I guess I like this set because I love hearts but I understand it can be too cheesy.

    I have a hard time thinking you hate this set when you've made such great cards with it. I love your card. I saved the picture in my card ideas file.
    P.S. Thanks for the comments on SCS.

    OMG - THANK YOU!! I was beginning to think there was something WRONG with me for hating this stamp set! I have seen soooooo many things made with it and was starting to think I was the only one that didn't order it (or want it). I have to give you huge props for making such an adorable card with a set you don't even like - You are truly blessed with a talent that escapes me. Thank you for all your beautiful ideas and projects.

    Love the card...and I'm not fond of this set, either. The only thing I like about it is the bird (or is it birds?, I don't even know!)

    Hi Becky, Love the card I like the others can't believe that you hate this set & do such a great job with cards. But taht is OK, can you imagine how boring life would be if we all liked the same thing. I do have a question on your directions "At what dimension do you score the 8 1/2 x 11? " My email is "kraftynes@sympatico.ca"

    Thanks Barb Nesplic

    Hello Becky - We haven't even had the chance to have this set in the UK - but let's not be hasty - it may be on its way next year - I have to say I quite like it, I can't say I hate it as it does have redeeming elements - but super cards from a set that doesn't give you that crafty 'tingle' - I enjoy your blog and have it bookmarked - I hop across most days and I am never disappointed - Bridgette
