    Blog Design Team: Love Forever

    Hey there, crafty friends! Hope your day is shaping up to be a good one. Today the very talented Lea Lawson is sharing a card featuring a simple, clean, modern design and we are simply in love with it.
     

    First, here’s Lea to tell us about her project…

    I don’t know about you, but this is the time of year where I start
    getting bombarded with bridal shower, bachelorette, and wedding
    invitations!  For today’s card, I’ve created a simple love-themed card
    that can be easily customized for any of these occasions and
    more. (This is something I do quite often! In order to get more use
    out of my cards, I will create a card that can be used for many
    different occasions, and then customize it when I know exactly what I
    want to use it for.)

    To start, I created a cardbase from Sugar Cube cardstock. I then stamped the word “Forever” from the In &
    Out – Wedding
    stamp set to the lower right corner. After that, I die-cut
    the Block Party – Love die from near the bottom of the card, just above the “forever”.

    I set
    the card base aside and cut a 2-inch strip of sugar cube cardstock. I
    then blended Tim Holtz distress inks in Fired Brick, Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar on it. I started with red at the bottom and worked up
    to the lighter pink. Once it looked how I wanted it, I adhered the
    strip behind the die-cut word.


    To finish, I accented the card
    front with a cascade of red and pink sequins from the Rainbow Brights sequin
    mix. I left the card as is for now, but can easily add a sentiment to it to customize it for a bridal shower, engagement party, bachelorette
    party, etc. It can also just be given to your significant other as a
    sweet any occasion love card!!


    I hope you enjoyed my sweet little love card today!

    Thanks for sharing such a perfect and versatile love card with us, Lea! You can catch more of Lea’s design work on her blog, Lea Lawson Creates.
