This time it is love themed and perfect for displaying at Valentine's. The backing for my hanging was found when we moved in up in the attic. It had a super old faded picture on it that peeled right off and gave me the perfect canvas for my project. Here's the details of how I made it.
Using the Cindy Loo cartridge, cut Tree1 at 5 1/4" with and without the shift feature.
*Emboss the tree trunk using your Cuttlebug and the Damask folder.
*For the sentiments Love and Hope, use the Home Decor cartridge and cut with the shadow feature on, cut Hope at 1 1/2" and love at 1 3/4".
*For the Faith sentiment use the Home Accents cartridge and cut at 1".
*For all the sweet little hearts and dots hanging on the tree, using the Cindy Loo cartridge cut the layer feature on filigre1 with you REAL DIAL SIZE ON. at 1/2" in desired colors.
*Emboss hearts with Swiss Dots embossing folder.
*Adhere everything in place and finish with a punched border, and some shine on the embossed hearts using the Sakura Clear Star pen. Hang and enjoy!
