Just Us Girls CASE a DT Member - #760

Hello friends.  Nothing like getting in just under the wire, but when I saw Bobby's card for the JUGS Challenge, I just knew I had to play!

I had been thinking about pulling out my Honey Bee Heart Hugs Dies to make my 2 grandson's Valentine cards when I saw Bobby's card HERE and that was all the inspiration I needed to get started!  Of course getting started and actually making a card in time are two different things!  But finish them I did and here's what I came up with...

I started with Honey Bee's Fluttering Hearts Pierced Cover Plate on a piece of Real Red cs (SU!!) and attached to a kraft card base.  I also added a rectangle of kraft cs and a piece of PTI's Bitty Big DSP to the center of my card so I had a place for my sweet bear!  I die cut the bear from kraft cs also and then ink blended around his edges with Walnut Stain DI.  For the hearts he's holding, I used a trick the creative Leslie Miller mentioned in a couple of her posts where you used a piece of packing tape (clear) over your cs before die cutting, and then voila!!...you have shiny hearts!  Did the same for his nose and eyes too.  

  I finished with a "LOVE YOU" sentiment (MFT) and a piece of red & white baker's twine.  Thought about adding some bling, but it is for a young boy (well I actually made 2 exactly the same for my 2 grandsons), and I figured the one glittery heart was all it really needed!

This challenge closes later tonight, so not much time if you do want to play along, but the DT has some really great cards to CASE if you do find time today to create!  You can find all the info needed right HERE. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
