My MTTC #563 DT heart shaped card project for 27 June 2025

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This posting features my newest design team commitment project for MTTC or My Time To Craft, a papercrafting (accepts digital & hybrid projects) challenge blog! We've been doing a theme series of shape-based card structures. I believe this is our last one and then we'll switch to a supply-requested theme series. Heart-shape is my suggested choice for this series. We've had tree, circle, square, rectangle, dog-ear tag, oval and heart!!! WOW!

when: MTTC #563 starts on June 27, 2025 and stays open for 13 days. 

what: Project = Autumn Splendor Leaf-embellished heart card

view 2 =

view 3 = 

how-to notes = overly embellished! 

1. pink neon cardstock cut in heart shape = Astrobrights by Neenah

2. pale pink cardstock, 2 different tones (the smallest heart got hidden under the glitter leaf) cut in smaller heart shapes to layer = ? Neenah or Pen + Gear

* in my stash, I have several different sizes of heart shape stencils that I used to trace and fussy cut each heart. 

3. enamel dots = Fancy Pants Designs (?); out of original packaging

4. rusty orange glitter leaf = Crafter's Square

5. wood butterflies and leaves (plain) = different packages from Crafter's Square

6. variety of markers = stash

7. pink gingham ribbon = also Crafter's Square
