CASology #170: HEART

Hello, friends!  I think we may have stumped a few of our friends last week with our "zombie" cue card at CASology...so let's see what you think of this week's cue!  (I have a feeling this one will be popular!)



I have to make some thank you notes for my son, who just celebrated his birthday.  I immediately thought of the "Thanks" stamp set by Precious Remembrance Shop...almost every sentiment in this stamp set includes a heart!

I embossed one of the thank you sentiments in white on black card stock, die cut with a Lil' Inkers stitched rectangle die, and paired two strips of washi tape on a red card base. Before adhering the thanks sentiment, I dry embossed the card base (washi tape included).  I find that helps the washi tape really stick!

i

The embossing folder (Darice's "Diamond Plate") has a masculine feel, so I thought this color combination with the embossed card base would be good for a boy's thank you note.


I guess I went outside the box a little bit with this cue ...not a love card, no big hearts, etc.  I really need some thank you notes, so that's what I made!

Be sure to link up your HEART card by noon on Monday (Central time).  Be sure to visit our Design Team and Guest Designer blogs for more inspiration!

    Oh, great tip on the washi tape--I will keep that in mind. This is a fantastic thank you card, and those tire treads embossing really say 'man'.
