Ugly Paper Group of cards.

You read that right. I don’t like this paper so I challenged myself to change its appearance. Challenge accepted. 

I inked the patterned paper with distress oxide and then stamped hearts on the paper. I’m not sure the manufacturer. The love sentiment die is by Couture Creations. The sentiment stamp might be by the same company. I’ll look. 

This card I covered the patterned paper with other patterned paper by k and co. The hearts are the negatives of a heart die.

There will be more ugly patterned paper cards

Pretty Purple LOVE Card

The double-sided patterned paper is by Craft Consortium. I used the front of the patterned paper for the background. I folded two of the corners back on itself to reveal white cardstock. Then with the extra patterned paper, I turned it over and die-cut the word Love. The die cut is by Crafter's Companion. The shadow of the word Love is out of shiny gold paper by Sizzix. 

Here’s an example using the same paper pad and sentiment die cut. Yes, the pad has a mix of reds, pinks, and purples.

Triple Heart Love Anniversary card

I made this card for the anniversaries of 2026. At the end of the year, I give my BIL all of the cards he needs to send to our family. This includes birthday and anniversary cards. This year I want to have them ready for him.
The patterned paper is by Craft Consortium and the gold paper is by Sizzix. The Love sentiment die is by Couture Creations but the heart dies will be added later. I inked it making it dark at the top and fading it out to the bottom. Thanks for looking.

3 Stripes of patterned paper Anniversary cards

I made these fun anniversary cards using my Valentine’s Day products. The patterned paper is by Fancy Pants. The scalloped border die cut is by Martha Stewart. On the first card, I cut the border in half and adhered them to the outsides. The polka dot patterned paper is by Papertrey Ink. 

For the second card, I left the border together and adhered it to the center. I cut the top of the strips of patterned paper on the top and bottom with decorative scissors that resembled postage stamps.

The sentiment on both cards is by Close to my Heart. Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Overlapping Hearts Stamped in a row

The patterned paper is by  Deja Views. The vellum sentiment is by Quick Quotes, and I adhered it with a Xyron sticker maker. The heart stamp is unknown.  I added pearls by Couture Creations and sequins by Fun Stampers Journey.
It was by accident that I stumbled onto this design. It’s not a new, original, or even cre8ive design, but it’s not what I was trying to do.

I was auditioning different shades of pink ink with a different heart stamp onto white cardstock. I couldn’t find the right pink or red color for yesterday's card, and so I thought maybe if I stamped one heart on top of the other, I would get the color that I was trying to match. I’m looking to match the patterned paper. But then I quickly realized that you can’t do that with rubber stamps on a wooden block. They end up kind of halfway on top of each other. Tada, this stamped border design was put together and then changed up for this card. So that’s what I thought of when I first came up with this idea.  

Thanks for looking.

Floral Friday Heart Border Celebrate card

This is the first card I made overlapping the heart stamp border. It goes with the other anniversary cards. But I don’t love this version of the card as much as the others. It’s a nice card for someone. It’s just not my favorite. 

The side panels are from a store-bought card. The sentiment die cut is by Sizzix. The heart rhinestones, which I don’t care for, are by The Paper Studio. Embellishing cards is awkward for me. It never looks…right. Anyway, the ink that I used on the heart stamp is by Stampin Up.

Diagonal Love Card

I used a Couture Creations border die and Love die.

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Accordion fold card with vintage wrapping paper

The sentiment is by Just Rite stamps. The chipboard button is by Colorbok. The white card stock panel is stamped with different Hart stamps. The colorful green, pink and blue paper is actually wrapping paper.  

The hearts are from all different walks of life. I just grabbed the colors I needed from my love  supplies. One of the hearts from Dollar Tree was a puffy plastic and it had an industrial pattern and color too. I painted hot pink over that shit. Another heart is chipboard. Another heart is felt.

In the picture above, you can see the backside of the card. I cut frames out of the wrapping paper to make the back look pretty.

This card was created with the following the parameters on Craft Roulette #200

Project: kids card (I gave it to my niece). Colors: in brrrr (The blue and white reminds me of winter, which is cold). Comic or cartoon: (the line up of squares in the center look like a comic strip to me). Random: button. (The front is a chip board button to hold the card together)

I’m trying really hard to get my cards posted. 

I can fill in the blanks at a later date.

Thanks for looking. HAGD!
