15 Minute Project ... Pretties in Less Than 1/4 of an Hour

This card was r-e-a-l-l-y hard to photograph; I wanted you to be able to see the embossing but the glare from the heart-shaped tag was an issue, soooo I apologize that this photo isn't all that great.

This 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" side-folded card was created on Bazzill Basics black textured card stock. I folded the lower right edge up, scored with a bone folder, and applied some patterned paper and a silver heart brad.

I used my Cuttlebug "Heart Blocks" embossing folder to create the side panel; I ran the other half back through the machine with the Nestabilities Large Scalloped Circle to cut my scalloped circle and used pink grosgrain ribbon to cover the seam.

I'm continuing to hoard all my designer paper, (don't ask me what I'm saving it all for ... oh wait, never mind, you're a paper hoarder too, aren't you?!?), so I'm again using digital papers on the folded edge and on the tag.

The tag was created with a Making Memories heart-shaped tag rim, and mounted to the scalloped circle with dimensionals. Both were mounted on a round scrap of black card stock.

The sentiment was stamped on the tag with Palette hybrid, 'Noir.'

Ingredients:

White Card Stock: Image Plus

Black Card Stock: 'Raven' (Bazzill Basics)

Patterned Paper: Created with digital photo editing software

Stamp: Rubber Soul

Ink: Palette Hybrid, 'Noir' (Stewart Superior)

Accessories: Heart-shaped tag (Making Memories); Heart-shaped brad (Unknown ... found in my mountain of brads); Grosgrain ribbon (May Arts)

Tools: Cuttlebug die cutting machine, Cuttlebug A-2 Embossing Folder (Provo Craft); Nestabilities Dies (Spellbinder); Tag Maker (Making Memories)

This very simple design whipped up super-fast; it took four times as long to photograph as it did to create it! Overall, though, I'm pretty happy with this card, so this one's goin' in to my Valentine's Day stash.

I'm working on a super-easy, super-cute project for Valentine's Day gift-giving! Hopefully, I'll have that ready to show you some time this weekend.

Thanks for visiting!
