Valentine Theme Week- Day 1 | Pretty Pink Posh

Hello everyone, Gemma here. It’s great to be on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today to share a card with you all.

I’ve always loved the look of shape dies with words within, so was thrilled to see the new Love Shaker die is the latest release. It made me think of the Love Heart sweets that we have in the UK (my home country), so I thought it would be fun to create a card version. It was a quick and simple card to make.

First, I ran a standard size card base through my die cutting machine with a circle die. By placing the circle die just off the top of the folded edge, it retains that edge and makes a circle card base. I then die cut a second circle, the same size, from a separate piece of white card and adhered it to the card base. This gives the card an uninterrupted circle shape at the front.

Next, I die cut two Love Shaker hearts from pink cardstock, and layered them together on the card base for some dimension. I couldn’t resist adding some iridescent heart confetti to finish this card. I think circle cards are such fun! They stand up very well and, if you make it from a standard size card base, it will fit in a standard envelope too.
