Hey Creative Scrapbooker Fans! Katelyn Grosart here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine blog.  I’m excited to be back sharing with you my pretty card perfect for an anniversary or wedding. The jumping off point for my project was the Forever & Always collection and embellishments from Wild Whisper Designs. Which I combined with some adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs,  chipboard from Southern Ridge Trading Company, embossing powder from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies, Super Stock from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine and ink from Ranger, I was able to create this pretty Love Card. You’ll want to grab a cup of your favourite Summer beverage as I share with you how to recreate my card. Fussy cut four large flowers and ten small/medium sized flowers out of the flower paper from the Forever & Always Collection from Wild Whisper. Ink the edges of all of the flowers using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger. Cut two border strips off the bottom of two of the patterned papers from the Forever & Always Collection from Wild Whisper. Cut one border strip down to 5 ¼”. Cut the other border strip down to 5”. Ink the edges of both border strips using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger. Fussy cut the large diamond, succulent, label and white heart out of the cut apart paper from the Forever & Always Collection from Wild Whisper. Ink the edges of all of the fussy cut images using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger. Next, you’ll need the heart patterned paper from the Forever & Always Collection from Wild Whisper. You’ll need to cut the paper in half at 6”. Take out the 4 ¾” Stitched Square from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Die cut the square out of the heart patterned paper. Flip the patterned paper over. Take out the 3” Stitched Circle from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Die cut the circle out of the diamond side of the patterned paper. Distress the edges of the square and circle.

Distress the edges of the labels. Ink the edges of the labels using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam from Ranger.  The last element you’ll need the Foliage Round Frame from Southern Ridge Trading Company. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink from Ranger Ink over the entire surface of the frame. Sprinkle Eileen Hull’s Molten Dimensions – White Wonder from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies over the entire surface of the frame.
