Here is my project:

I've been sending out so many "hugs" in the mail lately!  These dies
are the perfect way to do that.
First I gathered my papers and the Sending Hugs Kisses Die Set:


I die cut the "Sending" and "Hugs" twice out of the same yellow card stock that I
was planning to use for my base.  I adhered them together so there was a double
layer on the words...just giving them a bit more sturdiness.  I used a scalloped
rectange die to cut my flower pattern paper.


I cut my pieces and rounded the corners on the yellow card base and the
blue layering paper.  


You'll find that these word dies are the perfect size for an A2 card!

I adhered my blue layering paper and my patterned paper to the card base.  Then
I adhered the words using a liquid glue.


I wanted a bit of shimmer so I used a yellow shimmer pen on the words after they
were adhered to the card.  I've tried to capture it here:


So hard to capture shimmer in a photo!  As a final embellishment, I added some
flower sequins, tiny leaf embellishments and a tiny bluebird!


I hope you enjoyed today's project using the Sending Hugs Kisses die set #1304

Please join us in this Quietfire Summer Blog Hop and give yourself a
chance to win!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

I never quite know what to do with a strong patterned paper. This looks so cheerful and the small embellishment touches on the word pieces are a perfect touch!

What a great way to use up a busy pattern paper. I have a few that I will use up with this technique.

This pretty card is sure to bring a smile.

Evelyn said...

I really like the colours of your card. The print is lovely.

Sheila said...

Sending Hugs - a perfect saying for the current times and just the right size! I like the sentiment on the wood paper. I know tht wasn't a card, but could be. The card with the flowered paper and the leaves adhered to the top of the paper is such a cheery card. I believe any recent would love to receive this card. It will certainly bring a smile to th recipient's face!

I love, love, love the background paper. And the bright yellow die cut sentiment. Pure happiness. A perfect card for these difficult times.
