Hearts and Love

Hi everyone, Doris here and I'm so excited to share a project for this week's challenge at Cuttin' and Stampin'! We may have just started the new year, but Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and I'm getting a head
start on my cards.

This challenge is to use hearts or the word "love" in your projects.
I've been playing with some products from a.muse studio and
here's a few cards made with them to give you some inspiration:
 
This may look complicated but was really easy to do! I used the big heart die to cut the shape in the front of my card base, then added a piece of plain white cardstock underneath; I added a light layer of adhesive then followed the outline of the heart shape and added some bakers cording until the shape was filled in. The sentiment was made by cutting two love die cuts and layering them, and just a little bling to finish it off.


Clean and simple is my go-to style for making most of my cards, and I usually start off by looking thru my scraps drawer. These pieces of cardstock from the a.muse cherry heartbreaker collections were perfect for a CAS card. I cut them each at 1" x 3" and used a square punch to make the banner shape at the end of each piece. A little piece of cherry and white bakers twine and a sentiment from the love me do stamp set and I was done!

Ok, your turn - head over to Cuttin and Stampin Challenges for a complete list of rules and to enter your creation. You can go Here for more

The cards are great Doris. I really like the second one with the heart paper.
