USEIT2026 - Wood Heart
For this card, I started with a piece of Kraft cardstock and ran it through a wood embossing folder to create a textured base. The deep grain pattern adds a rustic feel right away, and the Kraft tone helps the rest of the elements stand out without overwhelming the design.
I have been working through a stash of wood hearts in my tote, and this project was a perfect chance to use another one. I chose a heart with a clean shape and gave it a fresh coat of red spray paint. The paint settles beautifully into the natural grooves of the wood, creating a bold focal point with just a hint of texture showing through. Once dry, I mounted the heart directly onto the embossed woodgrain panel, letting the two textures play off each other.
To keep the sentiment simple and crisp, I stamped it on white cardstock and die cut it with a small flag die. The narrow shape tucks neatly under the edge of the heart, adding a layered detail without distracting from the main focal point. A few red pearls finish the card with a touch of shine and help tie the color palette together.
