Love You More Than...

For our Time Out Challenge #321 the theme is The Movies. I thought long and hard and remembered this cute patterned paper...and went from there. For your projects, take inspiration from anything movie-related—from a specific film to movies in general, from the theater experience to the magic behind the scenes on a movie set.

Think about:

🎞️ Your favorite movie

🎭 A beloved character

🍿 Things you’d see in a movie theater

🎬 The behind-the-scenes world of a movie set

✨ Your favorite animated film

❤️ A live-action classic

🎄 A favorite holiday movie

👻 A spooky favorite

🌟 Or anything else that makes you think, “That belongs in a movie!”

You get the picture! 😉

What I used to make my card:

• Ellen Hutson Mod Floral die
• Stampin' Up! Mini Treat Bag Thinlits dies, Perfectly Preserved stamp set, Summer Starfruit ink pad (all older products)
• Concord & 9th Love You More Than stamp set
• Sugar Pea Designs Card Front Builder stitched rectangle die
• Simon Says Stamp circle die
• Lawn Fawn Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder die
• Pink and Main Rectangles Patterns stencil
• Altenew Obsidian Black ink pad
• Marvy Uchida Puffy Velvet pen in white

I'll keep this as short as possible:

First, I made a trip to the craft store a couple of days ago for puffy paint...I forgot that it was liquid applique that I needed. I've used it before. It all worked out.

For the popped corn I remembered a floral die I have that has three and four petals on the many flowers in it. I die cut it once, then started adding puffy paint one by one and heating it. It looks pretty real.

I added yellow card stock behind each popcorn piece to fill in the openings on each piece (flower center). 

I stenciled stripes on a piece of off white card stock to match the patterned paper. I die cut the bag front from a SU! set to get that paper bag look.

Then I die cut a take out coffee cup shape for the body of the popcorn bag. I added my popcorn pieces one by one behind it with liquid glue, then a few that look like they fell out of the bag.

For the sentiment I grabbed my C&9th "I love you more than" stamp set and some message board letter dies from The Stamp Market. I die cut the whole alphabet and picked out the ones I needed for "movie night." I stamped a cob of corn with yellow ink on the circle. Then stamped the "I love you more than" at the top with black ink.

Next, I lined up the black letters on the circle (so fussy and stubborn!) and covered them with a piece of Press 'n Seal. I lifted this off the circle and turned it over. I added liquid glue on the back side of the letters. Then I turned the Press 'n Seal right side up and set it down on the circle where I wanted the words to be. I rubbed over it a few times with my finger, then carefully peeled back the Press n Seal. Et voilà, the label was complete!

Last, I adhered the label to the bag of popcorn and popped the bag up on foam tape to put it on the die cut patterned paper on the card base.

Whew!

We hope you will join us for this movie challenge. Read the description on the Time Out blog and peruse the DT's blogs for ideas!

Can't wait to see your cards!
