Hello, CutCardStock fans! Leslie here, and thanks so much for joining me on the blog today! What do you think about ‘different’ color combos – those you don’t often see – like a Valentine in non-traditional colors like yellow and pink?! The fun card I’m sharing with you today features bright yellow cardstock paired with hot pink on a bright white card base! So fun!

Instructions

Cut a 5″ square card base from Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with an inside panel from Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock.
Cut a background panel for the front from the hot pink patterned paper and a wide embellishing strip for the inside.
Die-cut a large sunburst from Astrobright Solar Yellow 80# cardstock and a layering panel, and a narrow embellishing strip for the inside.
Die-cut two stitched hearts from Raspberry Ice 80# cardstock.
Stamp, color, and die cut a fun focal element (bird used here) for the card front.

Adhere the sunburst to the patterned paper, the larger of the two die-cut stitched hearts to the center of the sunburst, and the bird toward the bottom left corner of the panel.
Adhere the patterned paper and cardstock embellishing strips to the white inside panel and the remaining small die-cut stitched heart. Then, adhere the panel to the yellow layering panel.

Stamp the front sentiment in black ink on one of the sunburst rays and adhere the panel to the front of the card base.
Stamp the inside sentiment in black ink and adhere the panel to the inside of the card base.
Add randomly-spaced small clear dimensional dots to each of the sunburst rays.
