Sending You Love and Hugs
Hi readers! Happy Tuesday to you! I’m always excited to see what bright and cheery ideas come from the our very talented crafty pal Laura Bassen! This month, she made a really cool multi-colored paper weaved card using the Simon exclusive Danish Hearts die set.
Quite a nice way to round out DieCember™, don’t you think? Enjoy!

Absolutely gorgeous work by Laura, she showcased these dies beautifully!!!!
Love the fun colours! I haven’t seen the woven hearts done in years. What a super idea to use them this way. Really makes them modern.
Wow! That die is a must have for Valentines Day!
If you cut this die with folded paper (with a fold on the straight end), you can weave little heart pouches. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/Heartbasket.shtml
Such fun happening on this card and, as always, Laura’s video is sheer delight!

Glad to hear that no paper was harmed in this process. You crack me up Laura! Always love your rainbow colors. TFS.
What a fun card–I hadn’t seen those weaving dies before, looks great! Yes, ink blending is lots of work, one has to keep watch on the posture, shoulders down or you do get some muscle cramps.
Love you this card! Wonderful way to add a little creativity to diecuts!
Fantastic card, love the colours used! x
Adorable card! I love how you pieced the hearts together in different colors! <3
Love the bright diecuts against the clean background. Lovely card. Hugz
how cute that is with the weaving.
Such a fun way of using these dies.
Wonderful colors and a fun card with the braided dies!
Laura…….never apologize for being awesome! Love everything you do!
