A bit late coming in because I'm still trying to figure out all the changes microsoft was so kind to make to my computer a couple of weeks ago. One required me to reinstall FastStone Photo Resizer... but that is totally different from the previous version I had. I hate change. Can you tell? LOL Especially when it makes doing a task much longer and with many more steps than it has to be.
You'll find the video for how this card came together by clicking HERE. I promised I'd have the measurements for the template posted in today's blog, but first here is the card (that took me 30 min to resize & crop!)
I needed a grid to lay the hearts in tic-tac-toe style but didn't have a die so I created one.
Cut a piece of cardstock
(You can use any color. I also suggest making a template to use for future cards)
Using a score board (or your paper trimmer with a score tool)
Score at 1-1/4" and at 2-3/4"
Turn the paper a quarter turn and score at the 1-1/4" and the 2-3/4"
From there, in the video you will see how to trim out the openings by cutting out the centers at about 1/8" on either side of the score line. You'll wind up with 9 little squares you can either use or scrap. I've been scrapping A LOT of leftover pieces.
This is the last card using the January 2022 Paper Pumpkin. We'll crack open a new kit next week.
Creative Blessings!

Hi Kelly. I'm with you as my computer wants me to change to windows 11 but I'm fighting back it's such a pain when stuff changes. They are for ever trying to update us and we don't need it! Love the card it looks perfect. Pleased you liked my felting too. Textiles was my thing and I taught it in school for over thirty years but when I retired decided to do something different so went on to Mixed Media. This change is happening because I decided all that carded wool needed to be used up or passed on so felting seemed the right way to go for now at least. Wishing you a happy creative week. Hugs Angela xXx
