Hi Everyone!
We have a new challenge over at AAA Cards – Shape Your Love! Create a love card that fits with the words of the challenge, be inspired by the photo and you could even create a shaped card. The sky is the limit, just remember to keep it clean and simple! Happy Little Stampers are kindly sponsoring the challenge and there is $15 for the winner to spend in their shop. Our guest designer this week is Kylie and her card is awesome, be sure to check it out and visit her blog for a wonderful card showcase.
For my card this week I went super CAS and it was super quick to make too! I cut and scored a red card base from Papertrey Ink’s Scarlet Jewel card stock (their card is great for card bases – it’s super thick). I then used Spellbinders Heart Nestabilities to die cut one of the hearts from the edge of the card.
I cut some pretty blue striped patterned paper from the Fine and Dandy 6×6 set by Dear Lizzy and adhered it to the base inside the card using glue runner. I then heat embossed the sentiment with Versamark and Ranger Platinum superfine embossing powder so that it peaked through. The sentiment is from the Chalkboard Love set by Simon Says Stamp (unfortunately I think this set has been discontinued.)
To finish I splattered some white spray mist by Mr Huey and Distress Mica Spray in Brushed Pewter using a small paintbrush. You can’t see it in the photo but it gives it a subtle sparkle.
And that’s it !! I do hope you play along – we can’t wait to see what you create!!

Oooh, love that heart slipping off the edge of the card. Fabulous card!
What a stunning and eye-catching design Jenny – love your twist on the optional shaping to the card. So super CAS and wonderful. x
This is CAS at its best. Such a great and creative design with lots of detail. I like that white spray-never seen it used before but do tell…where is it from?
Hi Sandie – thank you ! It's Mr Hueys Spray Mist – it was by Studio Calico I'm not sure if they make it any more. It's basically just an opaque white spray – maybe Distress Spray Stain in picket fence would work the same
Oooo, so pretty, Jenny. 🙂 I love your design and the beautiful CAS-ness of it!
I got mine recently on Amazon. If you google, a lot of companies still selling it.
Love this wonderful, simple card. The treatment to the front really gives it a lot of umph!!! Love the embossed sentiment on the striped PP inside and the heart cut off the side. Love it!
Your card is fantastic Jenny. It is really eye-catching and cutting the partial heart in the front was a brilliant idea. Adore the finishing spritzed in white and pewter. Sorry I'm a bit late coming around to comment but it has been one of those weeks. Thanks so much for having me over as guest designer – it was a blast! Xx
That cutout is so gorgeous!
