With Valentine’s Day around the corner, this week’s Global Design Project is all about “love.” We’d love to see your creations!

You may have overlooked the hearts that are featured on today’s card, but they are part of the Brushed Shapes Die Set in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Ironically, I used them to cut the Dry “Brushed” Metallic Designer Specialty Paper in the 2023 January-April Mini Catalog. Aren’t the hearts modern, and cool?

Brushed Shapes

I began my love themed card with a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then I used a Brushed Shapes Die (heart) and an Artistic Die (leaves) to cut Thick Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. I used “thick,” to create a bit more dimension. After knotting, and attaching the Burlap Ribbon to the back, I glued the white, die-cut paper to the card base. It looked like this:

Next, I replaced the leaves from the die-cut into the space, which is called the “inlaid technique.” Rather than keeping the heart white, I used the heart die to cut Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper, new in the January-April 2023 Mini catalog. I glued the outer portion of the heart flat, and raised the middle on Dimensionals. I also cut two smaller hearts from the same paper, and attached them with Dimensionals.

You can see all of the dies in my Product List below, and clicking on the photos will take you to the details.

“Love” was cut with a Love For You Die from Crumb Cake Cardstock. After gluing “Love” in place, my card was complete, and ready to send for Valentine’s Day.
