Mimi‘s Lots of Heart card gives us an idea of where the term “busy as a beaver” comes from! There’s lots of activity with these Wood You Be Mine beavers! They are busy sending a sweet and punny Valentine message!

Mimi started with a Watercolor Wishes Rainbow background. Then she added a Heart Garden Border along the bottom and another one (minus the heart flowers) on the top. She used the Knit Picky Winter Itchy Sweater green paper for the grass and Lost Mitten pink for the Heart Garland Backdrop: Landscape!

She got really clever and used masking to create the gnawed bit in this log. She found a cupcake with a bite in the Birthday Before ‘n Afters set and masked everything but the toothy bite. Then she masked the bite and stamped the log over the top.

Mimi also masked the heart in the image of the two beavers before stamping them. Then she masked the beavers to stamp the chewed logs. The “I chews you” sentiment is so perfect with this unique scene!

Thanks so much for inspiring us today, Mimi! This card is so creative and fun!

Catherine created a rustic mountain version of a romantic gondola ride! It’s fun inspiration for the Lots of Heart challenge!

The Wood You Be Mine? beavers are taking a canoe ride with the help of a couple of Let’s Go Nuts lumberjacks. To create the scene, Catherine stenciled the mountains, then layered a Forest Border and some Ocean Wave Borders. She created the canoe with Large Stitched Oval Stackables, slipping it into the waves. She used Ocean Wave Accents to make rippled openings for the stump and the “paddle“. The squirrel is serenading the beavers with the guitar from S’more the Merrier, so clever!

Catherine used Heart Garland Backdrop: Landscape to frame this totally charming scene with hearts!

Thank you so much for sharing your clever design with us today, Catherine!
