More from dear Karen Pedersen

  I  have been working with the brand new CTMH/Cricut Collection called Artfully Sent. This cartridge is full of over 700 images, including more than 50 each of cut out cards, pop up cards, scene cards, and pocket cards, as well as icons, envelopes and even a font!  If you don't already have a Close To My Heart Consultant of your own, you can purchase your cartridge -- just to the right of this page!

5" x 7" card made by Karen Pedersen with the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge

Isn't it so darned cute? Keep this in mind for the January - getting ready for Valentine's day - or for an upcoming wedding card.

Karen created a fun Love card. Just follow the directions below -- and refer to the pictures. I can't wait to make this myself!

• First cut a 5" x 7" card base out of Cranberry cardstock. 
• Then cut the "LOVE" image 3 times, once each on Cranberry Cardstock, Cotton Candy Cardstock, and a piece of B&T paper from the Blushed Paper Packet at 6 1/4".  I used page 35 of the new Artfully Sent booklet.  

 

 

• Then, using your sanding kit, gently sanded each of the pieces.  
• Using your Micro-Tip Scissors, abd carefully cut the "L" and "E" out of the Cranberry piece and the Heart out of the B&T paper. Then adhere those to the Cotton Candy cutout.  
• Next add a smaller heart (also page 35 {Icon}).  
• You can use the twine from the Ruby Mini Medley Collection to add a bow around the middle.
• Consider using a couple of Epoxy Hearts as accents.
• Mount this whole focal point piece on a slightly larger piece of White Daisy Cardstock --  round the corners.
• Use your 3D foam tape to pop the large B&T heart (a little off centered) as well as popping the whole focal piece.
• To finish off the card, just emboss a sentiment in white on the inside of the card. Karen loves embossing!  Use white embossing on a colored card!  It really makes the sentiment pop!
