Scrappy Heart

Welcome

Today, I have another card to add to the series of cards featuring

USE YOUR SCRAPS

This one looks complicated but it really isn't. 

It is just a series of squares and triangles made using my little leftover strips cut into pieces.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock that I would use for the base of the heart to glue all my squares onto. My finished card is a 5 x 5" square.
• I cut all my scrap pieces into 3/4" squares using colours that I thought would work well together.
• I started the heart shape by gluing the center squares first, then continued on outwards with the pattern till I completed the heart shape.  Here is the pattern I used for my card:

I added this as it is easier to see the pattern that I followed.

• After I had all the pieces glued into place, I fussy cut around the heart, leaving a bit of a white border from the cardstock underneath.
• Next, I found a piece of matching cardstock for the base of my card,  I used my ScorPal and my ScorBug to draw some lines onto the cardstock to add interest, then glued that onto a 5" square white card base.
• I die cut the 'love' 3 times and glued them all together.  I glued that over the heart.

Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look.
