Love You with Lots of Hearts

I used the My Favorite Things Lots of Hearts and their Outline dies to make a couple cards...

I die cut the outlines and layered three times. I thought the soft colors of the My Favorite Things Dots and Stripes Confection paper pack was sweet (confection...sweet...??), so I die cut another heart from the outlines with the striped paper. I will use the outline in the second card, but for this card, I used the inside of the die cut. I used the "love you", from the MFT Stamps Simply Hello and Love You dies...layering, like the hearts. I used a Darice embossing folder for the background... I loved how the lines of the folder were so like the lines in the patterned paper! Not sure they make this folder any more. I have never really used this folder, because it cracks the paper when it embosses the paper...the embossing lines are too deep. After much trial and error, I learned that putting an extra piece of thin cardstock in the folder when die cutting the piece of paper I want for my card, will significantly help to lessen that problem. I think you'll be seeing more of this folder in the future!! I finished the card by dotting the hearts with Tonic Jewel drops. Here's a close up...

The second one, I used the outline of the first card, and then die cut a polka dotted background for the striped outline...

I used a sentiment from the MFT Stamps Sweet Nothings set, and some striped paper on either side of the panel. I dotted three of the hearts with enamel dots. Here's a close up...

These cards make me happy, and I had lots of fun making them!! Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
