| 5" x 7" card made by Karen Pedersen with the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge |
If you have come here from my friend, the dynamite Diana Veenendaal's blog, you are on the right path. This blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultants here.
Today I've chosen to create a fun Love card. I know it's not really time to start thinking about making valentines yet, but any time is a great time for LOVE!
- I cut a 5" x 7" card base out of Cranberry cardstock.
- I then cut the "LOVE" image 3 times, once each on Cranberry Cardstock, Cotton Candy Cardstock, and a piece of B&T paper from the Blushed Paper Packet at 6 1/4". I used page 35 of the new Artfully Sent booklet.
- Then, using my sanding kit, I gently sanded each of the pieces.
- Using my Micro-Tip Scissors, I carefully cut the "L" and "E" out of the Cranberry piece and the Heart out of the B&T paper. I then adhered those to the Cotton Candy cutout.
- I then added a smaller heart (also page 35 {Icon}).
- I used the twine from the Ruby Mini Medley Collection to add a bow around the middle.
- I also used a couple of Epoxy Hearts as accents.
- I mounted this whole focal point piece on a slightly larger piece of White Daisy Cardstock and rounded the corners.
- I used my 3D foam tape to pop the large B&T heart (a little off centered) as well as popping the whole focal piece.
- To finish off the card, I embossed a sentiment in white on the inside of the card. I love using white embossing on a colored card! It really makes the sentiment pop!

Oh Queenie, that is such a clever card and oh so happy! Thank you for your unending inspiration!
Is it redundant to say that I "LOVE" your "LOVE" card? I really do. I think I may need to CASE it for my hubby for our anniversary next month. It's so sweet!! (Just like you!)
"Love" this card. Thanks for sharing how you put it together. I still haven't had the chance to use the cart yet. This weekend it is on my to do list :-)

So clever to paper piece this card. And the sanding just adds such dimension. Perf!
