I love this challenge because I typically frame many of my images so this was easy! I would love to have a good stash of Valentines for my friends!
I cut my pretty heart card with my Silhouette.
File name is Heart with Rope Border.
To get nice clean cuts with my Silhouette I used Michaels
Recollection linen texture cardstock(65 lb-that's my favorite for
Silhouette pieces. Bazzil, SU! or other cardstock is my normal
choice for card bases but this cut was too intricate for heavy cardstock). That means it's not heavy enough to be a strong card base either. I cut 4 hearts and glued them into 2 sets so I had the extra strength. I glued the tops of the two sets together after scoring a line on the back piece to get an easy fold. I cut the other hearts out with my machine to finish the card. I played around with adding a little tag with twine but in the end...I always go with the CAS look!
inside has a sentiment from a PB set Magical Friendship.
It's been a long time since I have joined in a challenge. It's been fun to see all the inspiration on all the blogs.
I'm going to join in the following challenges: These can all be found on Paper Playful

That's what I call love -- two on a single conversation heart! Adorable! What a pretty frame. It has an interesting effect when open, too. Love that!
Simple, bold, stunning. CarolG

Awww . . . this is so sweet!!! House Mouse images are always adorable and this one is not exception! LOVE the heart frame that also acts as the card base; it makes CAS look extra special! Thanks for playing with Cut It Up Challenge.
