It’s always fun to CASE a fellow designer, and this week were were challenged to CASE Kirsten Kreis. Hearts are wonderful year-round, and this gave me another opportunity to use the fabulous Floral Heart Die.

Floral Heart Hugs

This is Kirsten’s card, and clicking on it will take you to our gallery, where you can hang your design.

I began by using the large, Floral Heart Die to cut Thick Basic White Cardstock. Then, I cut a second heart from Painted Christmas Designer Paper, in a geometric pattern, and placed it in the “cut-out” center.

Wanting to keep it clean & simple, like Kerstin’s, I placed it directly on a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Prior to gluing, I stamped Black Stazon Ink dots, using a stamp from the Quiet Meadows Stamp Set. This is a great “dot” stamp, because I only had to stamp once at the top, and once at the bottom.

Lastly, the sentiment, which I found in the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped “hugs” in Stazon Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and cut with an Ornate Frames Die. This was the most difficult part of the card, because it required some adjusting. “Hugs” comes with two more words on the stamp, so I used a Sticky Note to mask the words while stamping. And, after cutting with the Ornate Frames Die, I snipped off the end to make the label shorter.

Last, but not least, I folded  a short piece of Gingham Ribbon in half, and glued it beneath the label. Don’t you love this ribbon? It’s one of my favorite products in the new July-December 2021 Mini Catalog.
