As soon as I spotted this week's challenge - 'Kraft and Kreme' - I had an idea, instead of mulling possibilities over for days on end and then missing the deadline:
- 6" x 6" square Kraft card stock
- a strip of cream card from the snippets folder, stamped with a sentiment from SU's 'Wonderful Words' set, using Memento 'Toffee Crunch'. I'm sure I bought 'Wonderful Words' as a pre-loved SU set a while ago (sounds better than second-hand) and I love it
- double embossed lines above and below the sentiment - which don't show up in the photo of course:(
- two hearts die cut using the Cuttlebug 'Concentric Hearts' die set - same as Liz won on Saturday in the Playground. The hearts were then stamped all over using Memento 'Toffee Crunch' and an 'inchie' stamp from Inkadinkado's inchies 'Flourishes' set - did the stamping after the cutting to have a fighting chance of not having huge gaps :)
- then ran the hearts through the Xyron, cut a little slit in one and looped them together before sticking onto the card - many thanks to Kath for showing this on a card she made for the Playground a few weeks ago
Hope your week is going well!

Hello
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card a simple design but stunning. Those heart dies are brilliant and so versatile.
My SU punch is the teeny tiny label one, not had a chance to play as yet. Thought you would get hooked with the Stickaroos.

Hello Di, Thanks for the lovely comment on my butterfly cards - it's much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAs is the offer of the cutting channels. However, although it is a Woodware trimmer, I think we must have the same model ... the T-200 model measuring over 12" long too.
I only have two cutting blades, straight and much neglected deckle edged. I also have a Provo-craft trimmer which was thrown in with the Cuttlebug and I do have several blades for that - and, shamefully, only the straight has been used.
My thumb was a purple throbbing digit for a while - not a pretty sight :)
Hugs, Elizabeth xx
Definitely my sort of card and really looking forward to using this die.
ReplyDeleteWell I am exhausted, last but not least of my commenting tonight and it seems to have taken me an age and I have eaten my way through a large bag of Tangy Cheese Doritos, which I was only going to have a tasting. Maybe I should drop a hint on this idea while commenting to certain challenges, looks like we will be in detention together now.
ReplyDeleteOk back to the reason for this visit, fantastic design and love everything about it,those heart are fabulous. BUT so sorry to everyone but I don't like kraft card, it doesn't do anything for me at all, reminds me of the old brown paper bags when I was a kid.
Simple and super Di!
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much
