Gender Neutral Cards with Altenew's Radial Hearts


I don't know why hearts are always considered "female" in design.  Guys have them, too.  When someone uses the term "masculine" in design, it seems as though it is leaving out females who do not care for frilly or blingy things. So in the spirit of including everyone's aesthetic, I am calling these "Gender Neutral Cards."  Yes, there are still hearts involved because I used Altenew's Radial Hearts cover die.
Can you see the Simple Alpha "hi" in the corner?

These were all very easy and quick to make. The hearts from the first card were stacked and glued onto the second card.  In the lower right-hand corner the word "hi" is barely noticeable. Subtle and simple is what this card is about.
The next card was watercolor/grunge inspired. I applied five colors of Distress Oxide onto white cardstock and then wet it.  The Radial Hearts die cut image, a butterfly, and sentiment are layered on top. This was easy and fun to make.

 I can not help myself. There was one more blingy card leftover on my phone that should have gone in yesterday's post.  So here it is, in case anyone wants to see another mailable, very easy-to-make card. To finish off the Radial Hearts theme, later this week I hope to have a scrapbook page and video showing how to do the glitter part of yesterday's cards.  Supplies that are currently available are posted below. The rest came from my stash. Thank you for visiting!
