It's full speed ahead with Valentine crafting these days so I looked around for a color palette that I don't usually use...and I found a store-bought card online with trees and flowers (a Valentine) and took its color combination for my card today. For Just Us Girls #809 it's Die Week and Sue chose "Use a Heart" as an added requirement, so I cut a heart-shaped card base and went from there. Be sure to use a heart-shaped die somehow on your card that we can easily see. Be sure to check out all of the team blogs and that of our February guest, Denise Morgans, for lots of great ideas!
What I used:
- Spellbinders Blooming heart die set (December 2022), Self-adhesives Crystals gold mix
- Gold metallic cardstock
- Ranger Distress ink pad (insides of some flowers)
- White die cut card base
I took a white A2 card base and positioned the heart die on top of it with the round top edges of the die just above the fold so that it would cut a top folding, heart-shaped card. I chose the colors of cardstock I had in mind, then did a lot of die cutting from the heart, leaves, flowers and centers. All of the centers are gold metallic and it gives a pretty detail to the card. I used the "love" die in the set with the gold too. I couldn't resist putting a few tiny gems here and there to fill in open spaces.
Do join us this week with your die cut heart ideas! Can't wait to see the gallery!
