Hugs All Over

I still needed some more hugs cards to sent out despite the six I made on Friday, but after all that stamping I wanted to mix it up and go for a die cut version instead - enter Concord and 9th Hugs All Around die stage left!

This was a really simple make once I'd worked out the placment by moving the die around on a piece of scrap the size of my card and drawing around it with a pencil so I could work out where to put the pieces without getting in a gluey mess.

To make the card, I just applied stick-it glue to the back of some azalea cardstock and die cut the heart 9 times.   You could use wet glue, but with fiddly dies, I prefer stick-it as it's quicker and cleaner.   It't then just a case of peeling them off the sticking backing with my tweezers, popping them in place and rubbing over with bone folder to make sure they're stuck properly.   Some overlap the edges, I cut those off and used the bits I cut off to fill in as required so you don't need to waste a whole die cut on a small area.

A set of these in rainbow colours would make a fabulous gift to send to a non-crafty friend so they can send out their hugs too!
