Summer Lovin' Challenge CFC133

    Thanks so much for stopping in today. I so enjoy your visits and comments.

     Today, I have a card for CAS-ual Fridays' challenge. The point of this challenge is to create a clean and simple card using hearts and summery colors. Except for the stem, I made all parts of my flower with hearts.

     Using the medium and large That's Amore heart punches from Fiskars, I punched four large hearts from the beautiful, dark coral, water-colored cardstock in The Solstice Stack from DCWV. I also punched one large green heart and a medium green heart. To make the flower, I overlapped one heart onto another using all four hearts. I used the small green heart at the bottom of the petals. I cut and adhered a stem to the blossom. I cut the large green heart in half and added them as leaves. I used foam tape to adhere the blossom to my card. The sentiment is a vellum quote(ColorBok) which I ran through my Xyron sticker maker.

     There is still plenty of time if you want to play along with us. Check out the details here: http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2014/06/cfc133.html The deadline is noon on July 18th. So, jump in and start creating.

     I pray that you are having a wonderful, blessed day.

BOO!

Jack o'lantern Full of Hearts

     I made this Halloween card using a couple of Fiskars' heart punches. But first, I cut a pumpkin shape out of orange and white polka dot paper and shaded in the segment lines with a brown colored pencil. I used Fiskars' medium That's Amore heart punch for the eyes, mouth, bow and even the bat-wing eyebrows. I punched only the very edge of the heart to get this affect. The bow is two hearts glued together at the points. I used Fiskars' 1/4" heart punch for pupils and teeth. The pretty background paper comes from DCWV's Heirloom Stack.

     This card is going to one the Fiskateers challenges going on today. You can play too! Check it out here: www.fiskateers.com
