Simple cards with “Heart & Home” collection | Anna Komenda

Hello everyone! We all love pretty layouts and albums as they are a perfect way to preserve important moments and memories. But once in a while we also need a nice card to send or add to the gift and let’s be honest – there is nothing better than a handmade card! It can be curated specifically for the recipient to show them how much we care. That’s why, with every CVS collection, I like to make a bunch of cards too and have them ready whenever I need one. This is exactly what I did with new “Heart & Home” line.

I made three cards, each for s different occassion. My trick for a quick process was to use papers from A5 Paper Stack as a card bases. I simply folded each page in half and card base was ready! It has pattern on the front and back but inside is white, as papers in Papers Stack are single sided! Perfect solution! You can add extra pannel like me, or you can embellish your card directly on the base saving even more time.

Fot the first card I used Floral Ephemera Pack flowers and leaves. I used my scissors to trim the white outlines around flowers but you don’t have to do that! Simply arrange flowers and leaves on the card, add glue under each of the elements and your card is almost ready. My sentiment is made with Gold Foil Titles word “love” and Mini Puffy Alphabet word “you”. Few tiny Puffy Stickers hearts here and there and card was done!

Second card has a Polish inscription “Sto lat” which translates to “Happy birthday”. I made it inside the little wreath of flying moths. I cut them all out from “Fall beauty” 12*12 paper. I also added some machine stitching but it’s totally optional. Once again I finished my design with Puffy Stickers hearts and dots.

My last card is the quickest one as I utilised leaves leftoves I had from one of the previous projects. I die cut bunch of them from variety of papers from “Heart & Home” collection. Part was used for the layout, and the rest I added to my Ephemera Pack. I arranged few leaves in the center of the card, adding some foam squares under them for more dimension and finished everything with sentiment from said Ephemera Pack. It took me 10 minutes to complete. You can of course die cut your own leaves. It will take you a little bit longer to finish the card, but it’s only dozen you need.

And that is all for today! Do you like my quick and easy card ideas? You can use them for any other CVS collection too!

Thank you so much for spending your time with me and see you in two weeks!
