Hello
Everybody!
This is my very first design
team post here at One Scraptastic Grandma! and I am SO happy to be here! I would
like to thank Janice Wilson for giving me this opportunity! I truly hope to craft up to your expectations!☺
Without
further ado…..
I
absolutely adore the Hello Lovely collection from the new Close to My Heart, Seasonal Expressions Ideabook, and I’m very
excited to be using it along with the newest of CTMH products!
I started out
with adhering the blush w/polka dots paper from the Hello Lovely Paper to a White Daisy card base. Next, I trimmed down the whisper paper w/diamond shapes to
leave a small border on all sides. Before adhering, I used my CTMH Edge Distresser
to rough up all four edges of this piece.
To make the tag, I started with a rectangle and trimmed off
one of the corners. I then flipped the little trimmed piece to the other side of
the rectangle, lined it up with the corner and trimmed off that corner also.
This makes the trimmed corners the same size and angle. Using a tag punch or die
cutting machine works great too! I adhered the tag about three quarters of the
way down, and all the way to the right of the card front.
Tying the
bow was the next step. I’m not sure if you’ve tried, but it’s not all that easy
to tie a tiny bow with ribbon, but I Love how this one turned out (I’m pretty
picky about my bows lol). The softness of the Blush Shimmer Ribbon made it
much easier to tie, and gives this tiny bow just enough sparkle to make a
statement.
For the heart I really
wanted to use vellum, so I dipped into another collection I’m
excited about.
The Uptown Fundamentals paper pack has black and grey patterned
papers, papers/vellum with gold foil, and the perfect, pin-striped vellum for the
heart. also used the largest heart in the new Thin Cuts- Basic Hearts die set
to cut it out. When adhering the heart to the tag, adding just a little bit of adhesive to the center (from left
to right) of the heart helps hide the adhesive from being seen.
Using the Way to Go stampset from the Annual Inspirations Ideabook, and Archival Black ink pad, I stamped ‘happy everything’ onto a spare piece of White Daisy cardstock and trimmed off
any excess from around the greeting. I wanted the greeting to have a bit of dimension
to it, so I used the 3-D Foam tape to adhere it to the center of the vellum
heart. This also covers the adhesive used to adhere the vellum heart.
Saving the
best for last, lol I added the bling! Bitty Sparkles and Gold Glitter Gems turned out to be just the right amount of bling to finish off this card.
Along with
scissors and your favorite adhesive, here is the Card Recipe, or list of the
products I used, to make this card.
