    Blog Design Team: Love, Love, Love

    Hi there, crafty friends! Today we’ve got a very pretty card from Blog Team Member Amy Sheffer, who is sharing how she used our Hearts A Flutter Cutting Plate to make a quick, but lovely, card.

    Plus, to help you recreate Amy’s card, we’re giving away the cutting plate she used! Keep reading for details on how to enter…

    Amy’s Notes: My heart’s a-flutter for the Hearts A Flutter cutting plate! Today I have a pretty and easy-to-make card for Valentine’s Day.

    Amy’s Notes: After
    die-cutting a Sugar Cube panel with this cutting plate, I cut out just the
    large heart using the largest heart die from the Heart Stacklets set.

    Amy’s Notes:  I
    mounted the heart to a gray card stock heart backing to enhance the
    shadows created by the fluttering hearts. I colored over all the
    fluttering hearts with a clear Wink of Stella pen, sponged a little bit
    of Worn Lipstick Distress Ink along the very bottom, then curled up the
    edges of selected hearts.

    Amy’s Notes: I adhered the word “love” in three different
    colors, with a matching heart for each as well. The rest of the card
    features a minimalist, white-on-white design with pops of color.

    Amy’s Notes: The
    background is dry embossed with a woodgrain folder (hint: be on the lookout for some woodgrain in a future TE release!), and two layers of
    paper doilies add a little ruffle to the bottom of the heart. Last, I
    tied on some metallic twine and topped off the bow with two more hearts
    from the Hearts A Flutter cutting plate. Foam adhesive and texture are
    great ways to keep an all-white design from looking flat. Here, I’ve
    popped up the woodgrain background panel as well as the large heart with
    foam tape.

    Would you like to try recreating Amy’s card? To get you started, we’re giving away a Hearts A Flutter Cutting Plate to one lucky winner!

    How to Enter: Leave a comment below telling us about the last time your heart was set a-flutter by Friday, January 30, 2015 at 11:59 pm PST.
    We’ll choose one lucky winner at random to win a Hearts A Flutter Cutting Plate! We’ll announce the winner here on the TE Blog next week. Good
    luck!
