Hello friends
Again a rather long blog title today!
It's Friday and it's Friday Die Day ... Part Two and Day 6 of a Week of Hearts.
This week I'm using the heart from Heart and Flutter die set.
A reminder of the die sizes:
Butterfly: 1⅛ x 1¼“
Heart: 2⅞ x 2⅜“
Again a rather long blog title today!
It's Friday and it's Friday Die Day ... Part Two and Day 6 of a Week of Hearts.
This week I'm using the heart from Heart and Flutter die set.
A reminder of the die sizes:
Butterfly: 1⅛ x 1¼“
Heart: 2⅞ x 2⅜“
And this is what it looks like cut/embossed.
from Lawn Fawn - Sweater Weather.
I've cut a strip narrower than my card front.
I've held both temporarily in place with removable tape.
I ran it through the Grand Calibur to cut the aperture.
I then removed the patterned paper, attached 3D Foam Squares to the reverse.
I die cut a tag (Back to Basics Tags), stamped a sentiment and tied twine.
I placed the patterned paper with the tag and twine back in position and affixed down.
The red die cut heart is inserted through the aperture and glued into place.
A useful die set and not just for Valentine's.
Other news:
pleased to report doggy choccy buttons worked!
Bella conceded to walk with me! Here we are in the woods, have to admit the woods
are a little spooky in the cloudy weather and when the trees are so bare of leaves.
a regular thing - she understands every word! ;)
I'm totally ignoring the fact it is Friday 13th today...!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Take care friends.

Hi All.
Thank you for this lovely idea,enjoy your walks and take care Kitty.
Hi Christine,
A lovely card and great tip again, thank you. It looks like Bella enjoyed her walk despite being bribed, do you think you Dad has been spoiling her? I'm ignoring Friday 13th too.

Good morning Christine
Another lovely card today. Red and white work so well together, very classy colours. Plus you can't beat a heart die especially one that comes with a butterfly!
I am so pleased Bella has listened to you and is now walking with you again.
I too am ignoring the date. We have an ice rink at work today and I do not even want to think about any bad luck with ice, skates and small children.
Enjoy your day

Morning Christine,
Lovely card.
Poor Bella, perhaps the wind through the empty tree frightens her lol! She is only tiny, bless her. Glad the chocs worked and I'm sure she understood every word!
Love & Hugs

Morning Christine, this is a lovely FDD and gorgeous card...bless Bella, animals are so good at listening to us when it comes to treats aren't they:)? Lol, I keep telling one of my hens that she is not going to get a few blueberries when she follows me back to the house every time I go out in the garden...of course I give in so it'll never work! Hugs Carole Z X
Morning Christine,
Lovely project, the heart and butterfly are very pretty. Bella looks so tiny in the photo, pleased the treats worked.

Hi Christine

Beautiful Bella, enjoying her walkies.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Christine, very pretty card and die. love Jean Z xx
Hi Christine
Another stunning card today. I love how you've cut the heart out. I'm glad the doggy treats worked, and that this is not a done deal every day. Woods always do look spooky when the leaves aren't on the trees.
Good Morning Christine,
What a lovely, unusual card, I love that lawn fawn paper, it looks like school book paper, but the addition of those two hearts at the top make such a difference!
You have shown us a fabulous technique today too Christine, you explain things so clearly!
Well I had better do and make a card for my Valentine, I may use your rows of hearts card from the other day. ( I hope that's ok)?
What are you and the boys up to this weekend?
We are having a quiet weekend, although curiosity has made me want to go watch "Mr Grey" but I have read the books and it kind of ruins the film/book sometimes when they haven't followed it fully! By the way it was very much the love story that captured me, not the albeit brief 'other' bits!
Well on that note I will leave you all,
Love & hugs

A really cute card. Looks like a page from a school notebook.
Cheers

Hi Christine. Love todays unusual card. Love the idea.
Doggie chocolate buttons work wonders for my little Gracie too.
Gracie and i share our birthday tomorrow. I have bought her a new coat but she doesn't know yet. It's a surprise- hope she doesn't read your blog!!!
Love Val in Spain x
What a wonderful card , love the way you have used the die xx
Had to refer back to FDD part one to refresh my memory. Love your make for today simple, original and so effective.
So inspiring. And I have this heart! Even better. C : ) xx
Very pretty, such a simple-looking idea and so effective.
Love the card Christine, and even if Bella knows what you are saying, I bet she still wants doggie chocs for every walk.
Hi Christine
