Nuts About You

Here’s my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch. Instead of using a pair of circular panels, I went whimsical on this one, replacing one circle with a die cut acorn for a cute Valentine’s Day card.

I die cut the Lil' Inker Designs acorn from kraft cardstock, then stamped the matching images on each piece. The pieces are inked with distress inks for an earthier look. I used foam tape to attach the pieces to a kraft circle stamped with the “nuts about you” sentiment.

I kept with a simple, classic kraft, chocolate brown, and red color scheme for the rest of the card. I mixed and matched a pair of kraft-based printed patterned papers with embossed and plain solids for the panels and knotted a piece of red grosgrain ribbon around the card before setting the image panel in place.

Materials Used:
Acorn die and stamp set (Lil' Inker Design); Memento Rich Cocoa ink (Tsukineko); Antique Linen and Tea Dye distress inks (Ranger); Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, and Crumb Cake cardstock (Stampin’ Up!); With Love designer papers (Pebbles); circle dies (Spellbinders); Swiss dot embossing folder (Cuttlebug); red grosgrain ribbon (Michaels); Deco Scallop edge punch (EK Success); foam tape
