You Make Me Happy

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. The weather is absolutely FREEZING here! Today's windchills are at -33C...brrrr!! I managed to keep warm in my studio this weekend prepping for my classes this week. I have a BIG birthday card buffet that had me cutting and prepping 300 cards! Needless to say, my paper cutter and Big Shot got a GOOD workout!

This week I am featuring the Meant To Be Bundle...after all, Valentine's Day is just three weeks away and it's time to get creating projects for our loved ones.

I have to say, this die set surprised me. The photo in the catalogue is really tiny, making it hard to distinguish the different dies in the set. When I opened the package I was thrilled to see so many images beyond basic hearts. I have used this set A TON since it arrived! Check out this pretty fun fold I'll be featuring on this weeks Tuesday Live @ Five video over on Facebook...

Now, this card is anything but quick and easy, but it is so, so worth the effort!

I used a ton of dies from the set and had fun layering and playing with different combinations. I used some of the gorgeous All my Love DSP for the background and then based my colour scheme on it, using Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White, with a wee pop of Lovely Lipstick for the sentiment.

This fold is so easy, yet provides a really wow, as it creates a 3D effect which really makes these die-cut images the star of the show.

With so much going on on the front of the card,  I kept it simple on the inside with a stamped heart image and another sentiment from the Meant to Be stamp set...

Be sure to check out my video tomorrow at 5 pm ET on my Facebook page or later on YouTube or the Video Tutorials tab above. I am having so much fun doing these live videos each week...so much better to show you how to make the card than tell you! I hope you'll join me or check out the recording. You'll find the full supply list below and all of the cutting measurements will be in the video description.

Thanks for stopping by today...have a fantastic week!
