Layout of the Month - January 2022 - Card #4

Quick post today with my January Layout of the Month sample featuring Paper Pumpkin. The January kit, Kisses & Hugs, was designed to meet the need for loving cards during February.  While it didn't actually include a Valentine's Day sentiment, it did include plenty of Xs and Os to make you feel loved.  You can look at earlier posts to see additional samples with this kit and for the dimensions and instructions for the Layout of the Month.

As a note, I chose to stamp off the Gray Granite for all these images.  While it makes them appear light in the photo, it really does make them coordinate better, in my opinion, with the gold in the card.  Feel free to do full strength if that seems better to you!

Directions:

1. Cut apart the Blushing Bride hearts trifold.
2. Turn hearts on their side and cut up the XO front and the solid Blushing Bride to get the ¾ x 3 ¾ strips.
3. Stamp off the dots in Gray Granite and then stamp from upper right to lower left on an 8 ½ x 5 ½ Very Vanilla card base.  Repeat until full enough for you.
4. Add a 2 ¾ x 3 ¾ piece of Gold Foil to the card with adhesive.
5. Add the three strips from the cut-up card using adhesive.
6. Stamp off “For You” in Gray Granite and stamp on the bottom of a 2 ½ x 3 ½ piece of Very Vanilla.
7. Add to the card using dimensionals.
8. Cut up an arrow and add to the card front using adhesive so it's the right size.
9. Add a Blushing Bride die cut heart to the card with dimensionals.
10. Add embellishments as desired.
