Designing a Sweet Thinking of You Card with Hearts & Hugs Bundle in Peach Pie
May 30, 2024
Today we're Designing a Sweet Thinking of You Card with Hearts & Hugs Bundle in Peach Pie. Tuesday we created a Thinking of You card that was appropriate for all ages...if you missed it check it out here..Click here to see Tuesday's card.
Here's that new Hearts & Hugs set we're using this week...
Here's today's creation....
& a bit closer look...
You'll notice we're using 3 strips of the same color cardstock--that new Peach Pie--for our background...this gives a bit of extra interest rather than just a single layer.
The embossing folder is the new Dashing Designs--one of my favorites so you'll be seeing it frequently. It's a kind of "all over" design that gives texture but doesn't jump off the card to dominate.
That absolutely sweet arc of hearts is accomplished with a single die and shows the under color of the layer beneath. You could also die cut these hearts in another color (or colors) and inlay them to add more pizzazz to that effect,
The greeting forms a sort of flower-box base--we simply cut the same color carstock as used for the stems & leaves and then layered it over the grassy part of that die cut. We bumped it up with dimensionals to form the "box" appearance.
The flower centers are the dazzling new Iridescent facted gems! I suspect these will go out of stock soon with all the orders I've been placing for them. The nice part of this set of embellishments is that you get tons of the large and small ones so you can use them when making multiple cards and not run out.
I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.
Stop by Thursday to see what we're creating with this set!
