Heart Card and Blog Candy

Quick reminder . . . I have a little bit of blog candy to share :-)  You can enter a comment HERE once a day and I’ll pick a winner on Saturday, January 9th!


I have another quick card to share with you today that I actually made quite some time ago when I was a member on the Splitcoast Dirty Dozen.  At the time it seemed odd to share it out of season, but guess what . . .  it’s in season now (grin)!! 

I used Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG to setup a grid for the card.  On the center grid I used my favorite dimensional heart from SAR and the remaining are from a Heart Punch.  I made it a window card (using the same square die) so that the dimensional heart is actually on the inside of the card but when closed it’s visible on the outside too.  Lastly I added a sweet little tag and hand wrote "big love", tying it on with twine.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  None
Paper:  Coredinations, 140lb Strathmore Watercolor Paper
Ink:  None
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG, heart punch, brads, twine, tag

If you didn’t know, Spellbinders is giving a Surprise Party.  Yes, beginning on January 7th, new 2010 die templates are going to be revealed.  The anticipation is killing me – I get to show mine on January 8th.  You will not want to miss this – details HERE.

    What a pretty card. When I first looked at it, I thought all the squares were on the front of the card. Then your center placement of the heart on the inside really makes it special. Your talents are amazing. I truly love your style. Each day I am always anxious to go to my email to see if I have yet another stunning card from you. As always, thank you for sharing your talents.
