Warm and Fuzzy Shapes for Tuesday
Welcome back my Friends!
Today I’m continuing my shape theme with ones that are simple or common, yet they have warm homey feelings and are from the heart.
To kick off the designs I bring you Robyn Werlich. Oh how talented she is. Love this heart layout and how it hangs off the side.
Layout by Robyn Werlich
Supplies:
- Houndstooth
- Wallpaper Background
- Raindrop Background
- Scallop Borders
- Elephants
- Smooth Clear Gemstones
- White Embossing Powder
- Versamark Dazzle Frost
- Other: Cardstock, staples, sewing machine, ribbon, scalloped border punch, small flower punch
Tip: Creating a shaped layout is creative and fun! Try tracing the design on the cardstock first so you don’t make mistakes. Then, cut.
Instructions:Trace 1/2 of a heart on brown cardstock and cut out around the heart. Cut out another heart with red cardstock, cut in half, stamp and add to the right side of the brown heart. Sew to page. On the brown heart, stamp patterned background stamp with VersaMark ink, sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat to set. Add smooth gemstones to middle of flowers. Add ribbon. Stamp raindrop dot stamp with Dazzle Frost VersaMark ink on the blue strip. Staple to page. Add photo and scalloped borders. Stamp ’so stinkin’ cute!’ 4 times in a row with red ink. Stamp scalloped border stamp with VersaMark and emboss with white powder. Add ribbon and punched flowers with smooth gemstones in the middle. Finish with some sewing.
Next I decided to take an ordinary shape (circle) and transform it into a sun shine card with my left over scraps. I’m ready for warm weather with this one, it’s almost like an explosion of sun shiny goodness. The inside greeting reads… Hope Your Day Shines. Perfect!

Instructions
Trace and cut 4″ circles from an acetate and Kraft notecards. Stamp the acetate circle with the flower stamp using White StazOn ink. Cut strips and angled pieces of various yellow and orange papers. Affix in place. Sew as desired. Punch a 2″ circle from yellow cardstock, affix to the center of the sun rays. Stamp the Friend greeting on white cardstock with Soft Apricot ink, use a circle punch and affix it to the card. Secure a bow tied from ribbon with string and button to the card. Fold the side of the Kraft circle at about 1/2″. Put adhesive only on the edge of the creased side and affix it to the acetate front. Inside: (Not Shown) Stamp the message on white cardstock with Soft Apricot ink, mount to a piece of yellow cardstock and adhere in place.
Tip: Add sun rays off center from the circle, keep in mind how the card will stand up when affixing them in place.
And finally a couple little house. I made one a bit more complex than the other to show that you can make these quick if you’re in a pinch.
