Hello everyone!  Today I have a fairly simple card for you that could be used for Valentine's Day, for an anniversary or just a friend/family card.  

 

Supplies used: Rainbow Twirl F 12x12 Paper (12pc Bulk Pack) 30447 (I used papers F and D), Nesting Hearts Metal Cutting Die 28813, Little Foliage 1 Metal Cutting Die 21099 , Big Love You Metal Cutting Die 28855, 19499 Clear Crystal Mix

 

To create this card, I selected a section of the wreath on the Rainbow Twirl F paper and carefully cut out just enough to die cut with the largest of the heart nesting dies.  Believe me, I had to take a deep breath before cutting into that paper as it is so pretty and my tendency would be to hoard it! But I'm happy to say that I have a LOT of the wreath left over to make more cards with. 😄

After die cutting the heart out of the paper, I added some craft foam beneath it for extra dimension.  I die cut the leaves repeatedly from white cardstock until I had enough to surround the heart, and added them to the back of the heart with glue.  

From the Rainbow Twirl D paper, I cut  a section that was 5" x 6" for my card front.  I attached this to a card base I had created in the same dimensions.   

I cut the "YOU" sentiment three times and stacked them together with glue.  The "love" sentiment was cut once from white cardstock and once from a scrap of the Rainbow Twirl D paper, and I glued these together with the coloured paper on top. 

To assemble the card, I adhered the "YOU" sentiment at the bottom and glued the "love" sentiment over top of it.  Then I glued the heart above the sentiment at a slight angle.   I added a few of the clear crystal mix gems scattered over the top of the card.  Finally, I used my corner rounder to round the two right hand edges on the top and bottom to soften the look. 

 

Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope you're having a happy, creative day!
