Eight Beautiful Hearts



Yet another variation made from the beautiful heart on the Wedding cartridge. Here I simply added four more hearts in the corners.

I always like to see what patterns the offcuts produce- these are rather pretty (I might put photos in each corner and possibly trim the extra bit left in the outer hearts. I will post a photo if I do a layout with this offcut - just wanted to get these up to share first.

Here are the offcuts in in different color combinations





These are the bits that will be left on the mat - I might try to save these for another project - but perhaps that is too frugal!



Finally, here is another photo showing a lower contrast between the design and the background. Color choices make all the difference!

More Beautiful Hearts - sized for a card!



I have been busy with lots of personal projects lately, but I finally have a chance to post some of the variations of the Four Wedding Hearts design that I posted last Friday.

Here is the first - it is the same design but made smaller so it will fit on a 5 x 7 card. I did my first test cut on Die Cuts with a View (DCWV) white core paper - because I had a lot of it on hand from a great sale at Tuesday Morning.

Here is how that cut looked on the mat - the white core gets a bit exposed in this delicate cut



When the outer area is removed this is how it looks on the mat - I left it here so you could see the size by the grid on the mat.



I discovered that it is very easy to damage these cuts when using this paper - it tends to separate as you can see where the white spots are showing here



To glue these delicate items down I use my Creative Memories Precision Point adhesive pen. The glue dots on and is white - just let it sit until it is clear and then it will adhere perfectly with no oozing.



Here is the purple cut on two different colors of card - yellow and pink



I cut off the damaged area and I think the remaining piece looks like a butterfly - I should try making a bit of a body for it!



I cut this design again on solid cardstock and I prefer these results - no separation or white core showing!



There was a tiny spot in the center due to a small gap in welding (I fixed this for the posted file) so I added a little blingy heart to the center.



I hope you can use this for wedding or romantic cards. I'd love to see some finished results!
