Sending Hugs for Christmas Card | Spellbinders Spectacular Christmas Release

Celes — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 16:16:39 +0000

Hi friends! I’m back with one more Christmas project, and this is the third and final card—for now!—that I created with the Spectacular Christmas collection by Spellbinders. And I think this adorable little penguin is the perfect way to finish this mini series!

For my Sending Hugs for Christmas Card, I wanted to play with a softer and slightly unexpected Christmas color palette, mixing mint, aqua and pink with the classic black and white of the penguin. Of course, I couldn’t resist adding a little sparkle and plenty of dimension too! Between those funny glasses, the fluffy earmuffs and that tiny cupcake, there are so many little details to discover in this design. Let me show you how it all came together!

For this card I used:

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Card Base:

For card base, I used Hero Hues Dove White Top Folded Cards
The first thing we need to do is prepare the base panel. For this, I will use ALABASTER cardstock. Using my Platinum Six Die Cutting Machine together with the Checkered Argyle – Embossing Folder of the Month and the PRECISION LAYERING A2 A Etched Dies S5-487, I will prepare an embossed background panel that will serve as the base for my composition.
Next, using MINT and BLUSH cardstock and the Playful Stitched Panels Etched Dies S5-747, I will cut two panels that I will use to build the area where the penguin will be placed.
With these pieces ready, we have everything we need for the base of the card.

Decorative details:

Before we begin with the decorative details, we will assemble the base of the card. First, we will adhere the embossed panel flat to the card base. Then, we will layer the two stitched-edge panels, adhering them together with 3D foam adhesive. We will also attach the layered piece to the card base using 3D foam adhesive.

With the card base ready, we can now move on to the step-by-step process for all the decorative details:

Die-cut all the pieces from the Spellbinders Spectacular Bear Etched Dies S5-722 and the Spellbinders Spectacular Penguin Etched Dies S3-565 using the cardstock colors listed in the materials section. For some of the pieces, I used the white glitter specialty paper from the Antique White Assorted Treasured Cardstock SCSP-016 set.
Once all the pieces are die-cut, assemble this sweet little Christmas penguin.
Next, prepare the sentiment for the card. I used the Alex Syberia Designs – Essential Sentiments BetterPress Plate and Die Set together with my Glimmer Hot Foil System and black hot foil.
To give the sentiment a little more dimension and thickness, I die-cut two additional pieces of the sentiment outline and layered them together.
Adhere the Christmas penguin centered on the BLUSH panel of the card base using 3D foam adhesive.
Then, add the sentiment, also with 3D foam adhesive.
For the final touch, add a few sequins.

And that’s it! My Sending Hugs for Christmas Card is finished. I really enjoyed putting this little penguin together and playing with all those tiny details, layers, and soft Christmas colors. It’s such a fun design, and I love how much personality you can create just by changing the colors and combining the different die-cut pieces.

Merry Merry Card | Spellbinders Spectacular Christmas Release

Celes — Sat, 08 Aug 2026 18:43:13 +0000

Hi friends! Christmas crafting continues around here, and this time I couldn’t resist this adorable little bear! My Merry Merry Card features products from the Spectacular Christmas collection by Spellbinders , and I had so much fun giving this sweet character his own colorful holiday look. The combination of aqua, pink, teal, and touches of gold makes the design feel fresh and cheerful, while his glasses, winter hat, scarf, and tiny Christmas treat add so much charm. I kept the background soft and simple so all those fun elements could really be the stars of the card. Now, let me show you all the details!

For this card I used:

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Card Base:

For card base, I used Hero Hues Dove White Top Folded Cards
The first thing we need to do is prepare the base panel. For this, I’ll use BREEZE cardstock. Using my Glimmer Hot Foil System with the Petite Criss Cross Press Plate BP-311 and white foil, I’ll create a background that will serve as the base for my composition.
Next, using CASCADE cardstock and the Arch Labels and Tag die set, I’ll die-cut an arch where I’ll place the little bear from the composition.
With these pieces ready, we have everything we need for the base of the card.

Decorative details:

Before starting with the decorative details, we’ll assemble the base of the card. We’ll adhere the panel with the foiled design flat onto the card base and then add the CASCADE arch on top using 3D foam.

With the card base ready, we can begin working on the decorative details step by step:

Die-cut all the pieces from the Spellbinders Spectacular Bear Etched Dies S5-722 using the cardstock colors listed in the materials section. I also die-cut some of the pieces from the specialty gold glitter cardstock included in the Spellbinders Gold Assortment Treasured Cardstock Pack SCSP-001.
Once all the pieces are die-cut, assemble this sweet Christmas bear.
Next, prepare the sentiment for the card. I used the Spellbinders Merry Messages Plate and Die Set BP-312 with my Glimmer Hot Foil System and gold hot foil.
To give the sentiment more dimension and thickness, I die-cut two additional pieces of the sentiment outline and layered them together.
Adhere the Christmas bear centered on the CASCADE arch on the card base using 3D foam.
Then, add the sentiment, also using 3D foam.
For the final touch, add a few sequins and a glitter paper bow created with the Spellbinders Christmas Cracker Etched Dies S5-698.

And that’s my Merry Merry Card finished! I really enjoyed putting this little bear together and playing with all the tiny details, layers, and colors that make the Spectacular Christmas collection so much fun to create with. I hope this card inspires you to try your own version and maybe even give this sweet character a completely different holiday look.

Happy Santa Card | Spellbinders Spectacular Christmas Release

Celes — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 19:37:34 +0000

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing my Happy Santa Card, created with products from the Spectacular Christmas collection by Spellbinders. This card has such a fun and playful Christmas feel, with a cheerful Santa, lots of layered die-cut details, and a bright mix of classic holiday colors with a touch of soft pink. I especially love all the little details that give Santa so much personality and make the whole design feel festive, whimsical, and full of Christmas joy. Let’s take a closer look at how I created it!

For this card I used:

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Card Base:

For card base, I used Hero Hues Dove White Top Folded Cards
The first thing to do is prepare the base panel of the card. I used POMEGRANATE cardstock. Using the Glimmer Hot Foil System together with the Snowfall Shimmer BetterPress Plate BP-314 and white foil, I created a background that will help the main composition stand out.
Next, prepare a panel of BELLINI cardstock using the Color Block Accent Arches Etched Dies S5-743.
Also, prepare a panel of FERN cardstock that will go behind the previous panel. I used the Essential Arches Etched Dies S5-526 to create it.
With these pieces ready, we have everything we need for the base of the card.

Decorative details:

Before moving on to the decorative details, assemble the background of the card. First, adhere the red snowflake panel directly to the card base. Then, add the piece made up of the two arches in the center, with the FERN arch behind the BELLINI one. Attach both pieces together using 3D Foam, and then adhere the finished piece flat onto the red panel.

With the card base finished, we can move on to the step-by-step process for creating all the decorative details.:

Die-cut all the Santa pieces using the Spectacular Santa Etched Dies S5-723.
In addition to the cardstock colors listed in the materials, I also used the Silver Glitter specialty paper from the Antique White Assorted Treasured Cardstock pack.
I highlighted the edges of the gift bag and the bell with Ranger Distress Oxide Ink Pad in Wild Honey.
For Santa’s body and hat, I highlighted the edges with Ranger Distress Oxide Ink Pad in Lumberjack Plaid.
Now, assemble Santa Claus piece by piece.
Next, prepare the sentiment for the card. I used the Hero Arts Here for the Presents Letterpress Foil and Die Set together with my Glimmer Hot Foil System and Matte Silver Foil.
To give the sentiment more dimension, I die-cut two additional layers and adhered them together.
Adhere Santa Claus in the center of the colored arches using 3D Foam.
As a final detail, add the sentiment using 3D Foam.

I really love how this Happy Santa Card came together! All the tiny die-cut pieces, layered details, and little touches of sparkle give Santa so much personality, while the mix of traditional Christmas colors with soft pink makes the whole design feel extra fun and playful. It’s one of those cards where every small detail adds something special—and honestly, this Santa makes me smile every time I look at him!

Take a Closer Look

Thank you so much for stopping by and creating with me today! I hope this project inspires you to have a little fun with your Christmas cards and play with unexpected colors, layers, and all those tiny details we love so much. I’ll be back soon with more festive inspiration featuring the Spectacular Christmas collection by Spellbinders. See you next time!

Thinking of You Card with Layered Butterflies | Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

Celes — Thu, 28 May 2026 15:54:38 +0000

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing a sweet and colorful “Thinking of You” card featuring products from the new Always There release by Simon Says Stamp. This design is full of soft texture, layered details, and a happy mix of butterflies, flowers, and fresh colors that make the card feel delicate but still full of life. I love how all the little elements come together to create a cheerful handmade card that is perfect for sending a thoughtful message to someone special. Let’s take a closer look at this project and all the pretty details!

For this card I used:

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Card Base:

For card base, I used Simon Says Stamp WHITE A2 SIDE FOLD
First, I prepared a panel using the 1387sd Rounded Rectangles die set. I used Breeze cardstock from Spellbinders.
Once the panel was die-cut, I embossed it with the SF572 Dotty Circles embossing folder.
To enhance the design even more, I gently applied Unicorn White ink from Hero Arts over the raised details. It looks so pretty, and it’s one of those little details I truly love.
Once it was dry, I adhered the panel to the card base mentioned earlier using foam strips.

Decorative details:

Once the background is finished, we can move on to the decorative details of the card. I’ll break them down for you step by step below:

I die-cut the butterflies from the S1127 Dewpierce Butterfly set using Tutu and Blush cardstock, along with the white foil-style cardstock from the Antique White Assorted Treasured pack by Spellbinders.
Then, I added Distress Oxide ink in Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry around the edges to give them more depth and a soft pop of color.
Next, I die-cut two large flowers and one small flower using Beeswax and Tuscan cardstock from Spellbinders, along with the BE BOLD BLOOMS Etched Dies. For the flower centers, I used the same paper I chose for the butterfly bodies.
I added Distress Oxide ink in Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade to the flowers to create a little more contrast and dimension.
I also die-cut a few leaves from green cardstock and applied Distress Oxide ink in Pine Needles to add extra depth.
The sentiment I used is “Thinking of You” from the Blooms of Encouragement 2226ssc stamp set. I stamped it with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.
Once all the pieces were ready, I assembled the die-cut elements and then arranged them on the card base. I adhered the flowers flat and added the butterflies and sentiment with 3D foam for extra dimension.
As a final touch, I added a little bit of sparkle using sequins. You can find two sequin options listed in the supply details.

I hope this card inspires you to play with texture, layers, and those little details that can make a handmade card feel extra special. I truly love how the embossed background, soft inked edges, colorful flowers, and layered butterflies came together in this “Thinking of You” card. It’s a sweet reminder that even the simplest message can become something beautiful when we create it with love. Thank you so much for stopping by today, and I hope you enjoy creating with the new Always There release by Simon Says Stamp!

Thank you so much for being here with me today! I’ll be back soon with more pretty card ideas featuring the Heart to Heart collection—because yes, I’m absolutely not done with these hearts yet. See you next time!

Forever Sweet Memories with Arden Creative Studio

Celes — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 22:03:20 +0000

Some memories do not need a big speech to feel enormous—and this one with my mom is exactly that. For Forever Sweet Memories, I wanted the page to feel like a soft hug: light, delicate, and full of color without being loud. I cut a large white butterfly base with my Cricut Explore 4, then filled it with a flutter of tiny rainbow die-cut butterflies to bring that “everything is brighter when you are loved” feeling. To build the background and layers, I mixed Field Notes, Laurel Grove, and Page Starters from Arden Creative Studio, keeping the patterns calm and intentional so the photo stays front and center—because the real masterpiece here is the memory.

For today’s layout, I used:

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Let’s create together this Forever Sweet Memories Layout…

Base of the layout:

As the base of the layout, I used a sheet of white cardstock from the 12″ × 12″ Bright White pack.
I added the pink paper from the Field Notes Solids 12″ × 12″ Paper Pad. From this pink paper, we will trim 1/2″ total from the sides.
Adhere the colored cardstock flat onto the white cardstock (leave the top left corner unglued).
You can cut the butterfly base with an electronic cutting machine, like I did here, or you can also cut it by hand. My piece measures 10″ wide × 7″ tall. I cut it from the same white cardstock mentioned above. You can find the design in my Cricut Design Space profile: HERE.
Gently tear the top left corner of the pink cardstock, just a little. Then stitch around the torn edges to add a beautiful textured detail. You can do this with a sewing machine or by hand.
Prepare a white cardstock mat for the photo. I am using a photo that measures 2 3/4″ wide × 3 3/4″ tall, so my mat will be 1/8″ larger on each side.
Make a small white cardstock tube that we will place under the wing that will hold the colorful butterflies. You can use a pencil to shape it.
Take the butterfly and a scoring board. We need to score the folds along the butterfly’s body.
Next, add 3D foam tape to the side where the photo will go, meaning the front/right side. Also add foam tape under the butterfly’s body.
Place the cardstock tube under the left wing.
Adhere the butterfly in the center of the layout.

Decorative details:

Choose the papers to build a beautiful color palette for the butterflies.
Die cut the butterflies and their bodies in the same colors, then assemble them.
The color order (from bottom to top) is: pink, light blue/blue, green, yellow, and orange.
Start by adhering the pink butterflies. Always attach them with dimension and follow the color order mentioned above. This way, you will create a rainbow with all of them.
Keep in mind that shaping the butterfly wings and adhering them with dimension makes a big difference. In my case, I used hot glue to make the process faster.
Continue color by color until all the butterflies are adhered.
Once you are done, add the main word or phrase. Then use sticker alphabet letters to place small phrases around the butterfly wing.
Add a secondary phrase and word, finishing it off with a few enamel dots.
Another detail I love adding is a few colorful butterflies from laser-cut packs from different collections. Do not forget to adhere them with dimension.
Final touch: white watercolor. Cover the photo and let the watercolor droplets fall into place…

And we are finished! I absolutely love how this butterfly-shaped layout turned out—soft, delicate, and full of rainbow movement, with the photo and the memory taking center stage. If you want to recreate it, you can watch the full step-by-step process in my YouTube video, where I share all the details, measurements, and little tips that make the layers and butterflies come to life. Thank you so much for being here and for sharing this sweet project with me—now it is your turn to create your own version and document a memory that deserves to be kept forever.

Cake-Shaped Mini Album Tutorial: A 40th Birthday Keepsake with Emily Moore Designs

Celes — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 21:04:20 +0000

Happy Sunday, my crafty friends! It is Celes here, and today I am sharing a project that feels extra special: a cake-shaped mini album created to document my 40th birthday weekend. This tiny keepsake is full of cheerful details—sprinkles, confetti, layered frosting, and all the happy color—while still leaving plenty of room for photos and journaling (because these memories deserved more than a single page).

For the papers, I combined designs from my Rainbow Avenue collection with a few favorites from Simple Stories. The result is bright and celebratory, but still soft and pretty—exactly the mood I wanted for this story. The stars of the project are the Make a Cake! dies, and I paired them with the Hi, Hey, Hello Word Dies plus the Card Sentiment Dies ( from Emily Moore Designs )to create bold titles and small finishing touches that bring everything together.

If you love interactive projects with layered elements and space to tell your story, you are going to enjoy this one.

For today’s mini album, I used:

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Let’s create together this Mini Album…

Mini Album Base:

Die cut the cake pages:
– Choose four coordinating colors for the cake pages.
– I used pink, green, light blue, and pastel yellow.
– Die cut one full cake set in each color.
– Die cut the inner cake layers from textured white cardstock for contrast.
Add a decoration color + specialty papers:
– Pick one extra color for the decorations. I used purple.
– Optional (but very worth it): add a little white/silver glitter paper and acetate for sparkle and shine.
Create the hinge:
– Cut smooth white cardstock: 1″ wide × 2 3/4″ tall.
– Score at 1/2″ (along the width).
This becomes the hinge that holds the structure together.
Assemble the individual pages:
– Keep the inner layers flat.
– Add 3D foam behind the outer front-cover layer to give each cake page dimension.
Build the album structure:
– Adhere the pages in pairs, leaving the hinge area without adhesive.
– Adhere the hinge in place and your base is complete.

Important note: Do not add adhesive where the inner cards will slide in (photos and journaling).

Decorating the Cover:

Now the fun part—turning the base into a true birthday keepsake.

Adhere the glitter cardstock die-cut pieces along the cake border.
Assemble the layered frosting swirls. I mixed solid cardstock with glitter accents for extra sparkle.
Put together the “Hi” word (die cut ahead of time), then add:
– a small stamped sentiment
– the birthday number
Pop up the main cover elements with 3D foam.
Add the frosting swirls with foam for even more dimension.
Finish with colorful and white sprinkles + a few tiny sequins.

Cover complete!

Interior:

Prepare two journaling cards and one double photo card (one photo on each side).
Slide the cards into the pages.
Add any decorative accents you like to finish it off.

And that is how this sweet little 40th birthday mini album came together! I love how the Make a Cake! dies turn a simple structure into a true keepsake—full of layers, sparkle, and space for photos and journaling that makes the memories feel alive.

Now it is your turn: pick your favorite colors, mix the papers you already have in your stash, and create your own cake-shaped album for a birthday, anniversary, girls’ night, or any celebration you want to remember. And please share your finished project with me—I would truly love to see what you create.

Layered Beauty: Make a Moth – Betty Card with Emily Moore Designs

Celes — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 12:40:00 +0000

Happy Wednesday, crafty friends! It is Celes here, and today I am sharing a layered A2 card that is all about texture, dimension, and a bold focal point: my Layered Beauty card featuring the Make a Moth – Betty die set from Emily Moore Designs.

I used a soft peachy palette, a subtle scripted background, and an embossed panel to add that extra “you want to touch it” texture. The centerpiece is a classic focal cluster—Betty (the star, obviously), one large bloom, a few smaller flowers, and airy leaves with a hint of shimmer. Clean, elegant, and still fun… because we are not here to make boring cards.

For today’s card, I used:

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Let’s create together this Card

Base of the card:

As the base for the card, we need a A2 side-fold card base of 4.25″ × 5.5″.
Cut one patterned panel to 4.25″ × 5.5″ (same size as the card base). In my case I used a paper from the Simple Stories Take Note 6 x 8 Paper Pad
Cut two coordinating cardstock panels: 3.25″ × 4.50″ and 3″ × 4.25″ (different colors)
Emboss the smallest panel with an embossing folder.
Adhere the full patterned panel flat onto the card base.
Add the two smaller panels using 3D foam for beautiful dimension.

Tip: If you love crisp borders and consistent spacing, nested dies are the old-school, reliable way to get it right every time.

Decorative details:

With the base ready, die cut all the pieces for the focal cluster:

Die cut Betty and mix regular cardstock with specialty papers (foil, glitter, metallics). That contrast makes her pop.
Die cut one large flower plus three smaller blooms for balance.
Die cut leaves from both solid cardstock and glitter paper to add texture and sparkle.
For the sentiment, use whatever fits your stash: stamps, rub-ons, or pre-printed strips. I stamped a small sentiment in black ink onto a pre-cut strip for a clean finish.

Design note: As you build the cluster, spread your colors across the arrangement so everything feels cohesive—not like all the “strong” elements are fighting in one corner.

Now the fun part: bringing everything to life:

Shape flower petals and gently curl the leaves to create movement.
Lift Betty’s wings slightly so she looks like she could fly right off the card.
Build the cluster with 3D foam.
Keep the most height on the main character: I used two layers of foam under Betty for extra dimension.

Same Design, Different Color Palette

I also made a second version using a different color palette to show how versatile this layout is. Same structure, totally different mood. (A proven trick: when in doubt, change the colors and pretend it was the plan all along.)

And we are done! This is one of those designs that looks “fancy” but is actually very repeatable once you have the panel sizes and cluster formula.

Try it with your favorite colors, swap in different florals, and let Betty shine—or use another moth from the Emily Moore Designs collection for a fresh twist. If you make your own version, I would truly love to see it!

You are Awesome Card with This is Life

Celes — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 19:14:10 +0000

Hi, everyone! Happy to be back! Today I’m sharing a heart-shaped card that’s equal parts sweet and sporty—because yes, both can exist on the same card and look this cute. I created this layered “I DINK YOU’RE AWESOME” design using the Born to Think set from the This is Life collection by Spellbinders, and I leaned into a clean, fresh palette with that dreamy blue glow inside the heart (instant mood-lifter). The little paddles, the crisp “net” detail, and those fun pops of color make it feel playful without getting messy—classic heart shape, modern twist, and a sentiment that basically high-fives the recipient. Let’s take a closer look at all the details and supplies so you can recreate this happy-card energy, too!

For this card I used:

BORN TO DINK CLEAR STAMP & DIE SET
PIECED HEART ETCHED DIES
PLATINUM SIX MACHINE
ColorWheel Cardstock: BEESWAX, LAVENDER, ORCHID, BREEZE, TUTU, WATERFALL, CASCADE, ANTIQUE WHITE.

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Card Base:

First, for the card base, I used the PIECED HEART ETCHED DIES. I die cut the base heart in BREEZE cardstock
I cut a smaller heart using my electronic cutting machine with CASCADE cardstock.
Using a Distress Oxide ink (any color of your choice), I blended the edges to create a soft, colored frame on the smaller heart.
Then, I adhered one heart on top of the other using 3 mm thick 3D foam tape to achieve a beautiful dimensional effect. Layering is perfect for this.
With that, the card base is ready.

Decorative details:

Once the background is finished, we can move on to the decorative details of this card:

For the net, I die cut two pieces: one from white cardstock and another from glitter cardstock from the ANTIQUE WHITE set.
Using the rest of the colors from my chosen palette, I die cut all the pieces needed to create both paddles. You can mix and match the colors however you like.
For the sentiment, I chose “I Dink You’re Awesome” from the stamp set.
I stamped it on white cardstock using VersaFine ink and my MISTI.
Then, I used the coordinating die from the set to die cut the stamped sentiment.
Next, I assembled the two paddles and started by adhering the net.
Then I added the paddles and the ball with dimension.
Finally, I popped up the sentiment to finish the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope this heart-shaped “I Dink You’re Awesome” card inspires you to play with layers, color palettes, and a fun focal element—because a little dimension always makes everything look extra special. We are done, and this card turned out so beautiful! If you recreate it, I would love to see your version, so please tag me and share it.

Modern Love You Card with Geometric Hearts

Celes — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 19:16:26 +0000

Hello, my crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a super modern card I can’t stop looking at: my “Modern Love You Card with Geometric Hearts” featuring the gorgeous Heart to Heart release by Simon Says Stamp. I went for a clean-but-bold vibe with a graphic heart pattern in a pink-to-coral ombré, little pops of gold sparkle, and that layered focal heart right in the center (because drama is allowed when it’s this cute). Crisp layers, strong contrast, and just the right amount of shine—let’s take a closer look at how this one came together so you can recreate it, too!

For this card I used:

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Card Base:

For card base, I used Simon Says Stamp WHITE A2 SIDE FOLD
First, I created the background design using the Simon Says Stamp Set of 3 Stencils Love City and Pinkfresh inks in Coral Reef, Passion Fruit, and Berrylicious. You can use an A2 card panel or your favorite cardstock for this kind of technique.
Once the panel was finished, I die cut it using one of the dies from the PRECISION LAYERING A2 A Etched Dies (S5-487) set.
Then I adhered this panel to the card base using 3D foam strips. Tip: it’s always a good idea to add foam across the entire area you’re attaching so everything stays nice and supported.

Decorative details:

Once the background is finished, we can move on to the decorative details of the card. I’ll break them down for you step by step below:

I die cut a few small hearts from die set Toaster Pastry Wafer Dies using glitter paper from Spellbinders (set Rose Gold Assortment Treasured Cardstock Pack). These will become the little sparkly details on top of the stenciled hearts in the background.
Next, I die cut a larger heart from that same glitter paper using Simon Says Stamp Basic Hearts Wafer Dies 1541sd.
For the sentiment, I grabbed stamp set Plaque Slides Love and Friendship and stamped “Love You” with Archival Ink. Then I die cut it using a smaller heart from Simon Says Stamp Basic Hearts Wafer Dies 1541sd.
I popped the larger hearts up with 3D foam, centered on the card.
After that, I adhered all the tiny glitter hearts in place.
As a final touch, I used the leftover stenciled paper to die cut a small red heart and added it to the center piece—such a simple detail, but it really finishes the card perfectly.

And just like that, this card is finished! I love how the bold geometric heart background pairs with those sparkly layered hearts—clean, modern, and with just the right pop of shine. It’s one of those designs that feels super special but is still easy to mass-produce if you need a few “Love You” cards ready to go.
