Woven Heart Cards

Hello friends,

Since February is the month of love, I decided to create a few simple cards to celebrate the season! Usually, idea-ology Paper Strips are just lined up and glued down in rows. While that’s a classic look, I wanted to take things to the next level by weaving them! 

I have a step-out tutorial for my woven heart cards over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. I think you will be surprised how EASY it is to make 4 cards at once!

Now carry on,

Hi Everyone! Just a quick post today sharing a card I made for the upcoming holiday (I admit I have a wedding to go to on Saturday and this card would fit that occasion too!)

I cut a piece of Ranger Mixed Media cardstock for the card front.  I suppose it might have been a bit easier to color the roses if I had used Watercolor paper but I'm still amazed at the depth of color you can get on the Mixed Media paper.

I used a Mini Stencil from set #6 and Antique Linen Distress ink for the background.  The smaller size of the Mini Stencils makes the scale of the "love" words just perfect for a card front.

I stamped the image of the rose with Archival Jet Black over the the inked background.  I think this new set CMS255 Lady Rose is spectacular!  The roses are perfect for coloring!
