You've Gotta Have Heart!


I made this card for the Addicted to CAS ATCAS#5 challenge which is "heart." I used a SNSS heart die to cut various sizes and shapes of hearts from an older Cosmo Cricket paper pad, so I lined them up in a row, matted with coordinating dsp, and added a tiny red gemstone to one of the smaller hearts. I couldn't think of a better sentiment than the one I used from MFP. The cream-colored, linen finish card stock was a gift from my friend Heidi.

While I had so many hearts left over, I decided to make another card using the hearts. This one isn't quite so CAS, but I like it. I added 3 more tiny red gemstones to this, along with a different dsp mat. I still had more hearts left over, so I made a 3rd card...

For this one, I embedded the hearts by embossing them with a square lattice ef and added the gemstone to the smaller heart on the top. It needed something else, so I added some vanilla taffeta ribbon. The ribbon and red gemstones are both from Pizzazz Aplenty.

I guess I have the best of both worlds when I can go from CAS to an embellished card using the same materials. OWH will be the recipient of all 3 of these cards - and who knows? I may even make a few more because I still have some leftover hearts to use :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

    All very pretty cards, Carol. I love the hearts embedded. I really need to make some more valentine cards and soon.
    But, today my little munchkins ( 2yrs. and 4 yrs.) will be here. Can't wait to get my hands on them.
    So, no card making for me today or tomorrow.

    Have a great weekend. Hope it gets warmer for you.

    Hi Carol. All three cards are fabulous! Love the mix of DP and colors you've used. And love how each card uses the same elements, but is completely different - great job! Thanks for joining us at Addicted to CAS.

    I agree with Mary Anne. You are the queen of CAS! I also think there are a ton of tiny scraps calling me, just asking to be made into tiny hearts. Great job as always!
