Welcome to another Fabulous Friday SOUS Die Cut Challenge! Our challenge this time is all about something sweet! It is no coincidence as one of the “sweetest” days of the year is coming up!  When you think of Valentine’s day, you inevitably think of Chocolates, candy and sweet treats! So here is what I came up with!

Die Cut Heart Easel Card

Hello crafty friends,
Today I am sharing a project for my Scrapyland.com DT. I created a heart shaped easel card. I made this card using all “manual” dies. Here is a photo of my completed card.


All the papers I used for this card with the exception of my Kraft and White Cardstock came from the Basic Grey Urban Prairie 6x6 Paper Pad.

Shaped Die Cut Card Tutorial
I started by selecting some kraft paper. I measured to make sure I had a piece big enough to be folded and yet made room for the whole die. I did this with the two largest dies in the pack.


I folded the paper and scooted the fold to where it was just shy of the top two scallops. By leaving the top two cut lines exposed, it allowed the “fold” to stay in tact. This created the card body.


Here is a closer view showing how the paper looked still in the die. You can see the fold on both scallops are within the scallops. I had no problem cutting the cardstock with the "double thickness" I used my Cuttlebug for this project.



Here is what the two “card” bases looked like. I made one smaller so I could layer it on to the larger one. It will make sense when you see the rest of the photos. Also making the bases on the kraft cardstock gave the card a good sturdy base. 



Because I wanted to create an easel card,  I had to create a fold in one of the flaps. I used my Martha Stewart Score board to line up my card so I could get a straight line.



Here are several of the dies. The die cut set comes with 5 sizes of the heart shaped dies. It makes it really easy to find the size you need.




Here is a closer look at the top heart. I hand cut the eyelet part off the blue die cut pieces and layered them onto the white heart. I used the White Opal liquid pearls to go around the middle heart.



Here is a closer look at the bottom heart. I used foam dots to give the larger heart some lift so the card would stay opened.




Here is a shot of how the card looks closed.



Here is a view of the top heart “card” open. I left it blank so I could write my personal note on the white cardstock.




Here’s one last look at the card opened.

I wanted to share a layout I recently made with the One Cool Kid SVG cut file set from PaperCraftingWorld.com.

one cool kid layout-480
Here is a look at my completed layout.


qt boy topper-450

Here is a closer look at the little boy mat topper. I used some DCWV Letterpress Stack paper for his ear muffs and his coat. I used some Charcoal ink from the Basics Ink Pad Set his scarf. I used some Sky ink from the Whimsy Ink Pad Set for the blue of the snowball. I used my dry decorator chalks from pebbles inc for his facial features and for his hair. I Used my Chalk Marker for the whites on his eyes as well as the details on his scarf. Lastly I used a fine tip black pen for his mouth, eye lashes and eyebrows.


qt boy-snowman-450
Here is a closer look at the little boy with his snow friend. I used some paper from the DCWV Letterpress Stack for the little boy’s coat. I used a piece of paper from the DCWV White Ginger Stack for the snowman’s scarf. Again, I used the sky ink for the snowman and snowball pieces as well as the snow borders in the background. I did also use some dry decorator chalk for the extra details on the snowman’s body and face.

So glad you stopped by today. I hope you are enjoying the start of a restful and crafty weekend. Today I am sharing a quick card I created with this week’s free digi and I am also announcing the winners from our blog hop last weekend.

Here is the card I created using this week’s free digi:
love you hand pointing card ds-480
I used the Die Cuts With A View (DCWV) Neon Chic Stack for the funky and colorful paper. I added in the red and printed out the digi and then used my pink copic marker and dry decorator chalks to color in the hand and the pink of the heart. I used the EK Success border punch.

love you side view 480
I layered the border punch onto a piece of ribbon and then tied a bow and added a brad to the center. Lastly, I added some faux stitching around the mat and the border mat.
