I started making cards today with the goal of using up some patterned paper (the burgundy floral) that has been in my stash forever. I managed to use up a large portion of it on this layout and the companion page I scrapped back in October, but the remnant has been sitting on my desk since then, taunting me, so I decided today was the day to use it or toss it! The first card I made was intended to be a thank you card, but I was sorting through my pre-cut baggie of Cricut titles left over from other projects and came across the My Valentine die-cut, so I changed direction and went with that. Funny thing is, my hubby helped me decide to use the swirl embossing folder, so he's already seen the basic design, but hopefully he will forget and be somewhat surprised when he opens this card on Valentine's Day!
Recipe:
Burgundy floral paper (from my stash, source unknown)
March - April 2022 Mix-in paper
Black & White Daisy cardstock
Ruby & Black ink
White Daisy organdy ribbon
White & gold ribbon (Michaels)
Paper flower (Recollections)
D'vine Swirl embossing folder (Cuttlebug)
Cricut Artbooking cartridge: My Valentine
Wishblade die-cutting machine: heart (I think! It was cut out years ago before I got my Cricut, so that's my best guess)
Pattern: Try a Sketch on Tuesday #685
Challenges: Double Trouble #206 - used 3 patterned papers (the red heart is the back of the floral paper and has a subtle design on it) + 2 ribbons + 1 paper flower, and played along with the optional ribbon and TSOT sketch challenges; Can You Handle the Pressure? - use an embossing folder + optional twist of any holiday; Cut It Up #345 - must use a die cut + my Oldie but Goodie is the patterned paper; Triple B - used blossoms and the colors from the middle photo on the inspiration board.
