We Just Fit ECD January Designer Challenge

Hello, Tuesday! Today I have a love card that I created for Elizabeth Craft Designs January Designer Challenge. I really fell in love with this Puzzle Heart die set designed by Joset van de Burgt. I had my heart set on using felt for this card, however I had some problems fitting those puzzle pieces just right so I will share some tips on how I did it to make it easier for you.

This card over all is fairly easy. I created a side-folding landscape A2 card with Soft Finish Cardstock 100Lb. I die cut the big heart with some white felt and the puzzle heart with three different colors felt in pink, hot pink and red. To make it easy to adhere all the pieces together and lined-up, I matted some Soft Finish Cardstock 85Lb with Clear Double Sided Adhesive and then die cut it, so the pieces have adhesive on it already. Then, piece all the paper puzzle pieces together and adhere them down to a scrap piece of paper, and trim around the edge. Then adhere each felt piece on the paper, same with the big white heart.

After place the puzzle heart on the card base, I white heat embossed the sentiment "WE JUST FIT" from Love Sentiments stamp set on a thin strip of black cardstock. Trimmed the two ends down to fit the puzzle heart and adhere it on with some Clear Double Sided Adhesive. 

To embellish my card, I added some pink & red sequins and some iridescent gems.

The puzzle heart is really the focal point of this card so I wanted to keep the rest of the card simple. The trick to help adhere everything down is really to put adhesive on ahead and piece the paper first, then the felt pieces. 

Hope you enjoy today's card and give it a try.
