Hello and welcome back! Simon’s brand new release, To Be Loved, is live today and I’m back with a project featuring the new Funky Hearts Stencil. It may not look like I used the stencil on this card, but I assure you that I did! It’s just a little reminder that there are many ways to use a stencil! Let’s go into it, shall we?

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this card by placing the stencil onto a scrap panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock and applying a layer of Tacky When Dry paste. I actually did this twice, because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use one heart or two. I set that aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card.

I wanted this to be a more clean and simple design, so I went ahead and splattered my card base with gold acrylic ink and put that over with the hearts to dry. I used the Clipping Heart and die cut that once from Neenah, and I went ahead and cut a frame using the Stitched Rectangles. Once the hearts were dry, I applied some gold gilding flakes and rubbed those in to make sure that I have good coverage. Those were then fussy cut for their use on the card.

The frame was adhered to the card base using foam strips, and the white hearts were adhered inside the frame using liquid glue. The gold hearts were adhered in the middle using the same foam strips, as well as the tiny sentiment, which is from the Reverse Love Sentiment Strips.

That does it for this one! It’s a super simple card, but I quite like how it turned out! Thanks again for stopping by, and don’t forget to check out the entire To Be Loved release over on Simon’s website. Have yourself a wonderful day!

Love the CAS look. The gold hearts had me fooled. I thought maybe a Distress product, but I read your description. Never have heard of Tacky When Dry. Thx for the info.
Have a great day!

Thanks Lori! Tacky When Dry works well with gilding flakes and the ThermoWeb foils. You should give it a try! Have a great Thursday!

All in good time, my sweet. Right now I use my “crafting” time to open packages and catalogue the contents. I only visit these sites during the day b/c I make time for mental health purposes.
