Paper craft project no. 490: I Love U



Hello! A new challenge starts today at Less Is More and I'm thrilled to be guest designing! STAMPlorations is sponsoring this particular challenge and if you play along, you get the chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the store.

This week, the theme is ALPHABET. Easy peasy!


When Sarah revealed the theme to me, I was even more thrilled -- perfect timing because I had recently released two CUTplorations alphabet plate dies, so I knew I was going to use one of them ;o)

I used the Uppercase Alphabet plate die directly on my card base to die-cut the alphabets. Then on a piece of card stock, I stamped the grunge newsprint stamp from Mixed Media Grunge in black and stuck it underneath my card base. I took the die-cut letter I and U, colored them with a red marker and stuck them in place. Next, I die-cut the Love word die three times, colored one of them with a red marker, and then stacked them up and stuck them to my card. And my card's done. I resisted the urge to grunge up the card a little more because then it wouldn't be clean and simple anymore. Hope I did the good folks at LIM proud because I'm not really a clean and simple girl when it comes to cards ;o)

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used to create my alphabet card:

Hope you were inspired by my card to join in this week's Alphabet challenge! Thank you again to Chrissie, Sarah, and the rest of the LIM team for having me.

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to smile :o)
