SUPPLIES:
- Whisper White Card stock, 8 1/2"
by 5 1/2", folded in half to make a 4.25" by 5.5" card,
plus some extra for stamping the hearts
- Printed scrapbook paper
in coordinating colors, cut 3" by 5 1/2"
- 2 heart-shaped stamps that
are about the same size. I used two from a retired "Happy Hearts"
set, but you could use the "I [Heart] Hearts" set or any other
heart-shaped stamp
- Real Red ink pad and card stock
- Pink Pirouette ink pad and
card stock
- A circle punch that is slightly
larger than your heart stamp
- A ribbon hole punch or other
small hole punch
- 3/8" satin or grosgrain
Pink ribbon at least 6 1/2" in length
- scissors
- glue & pop dots
- white glitter, clear glitter
glue, or clear glitter puff paint
DIRECTIONS:
- Carefully tear a decorative
edge on one of the long sides of the printed scrapbook paper. Glue it
to the top of your card, as shown, with the torn edge at the bottom.
- Using one of your heart
stamps, stamp two hearts onto white cardstock using Pink ink. Carefully
cut them out leaving a thin border around them. Stamp the other heart
stamp using red ink and cut it out with a thin border as well.
- Punch out two red circles
from the red cardstock and one pink circle from the pink cardstock.
- Adhere the pink hearts to
the red circles and the red heart onto the pink circle using pop dots
so they look 3-dimensional. Arrange them onto the card as shown and glue
the down. It's okay if they overlap a bit.
- Use the ribbon punch to
create evenly spaced holes along the bottom edge of the card, (only punching
through the top layer). You must have an even number of holes for this
effect to look like the picture. My ribbon punch makes two rectangular
slits, so I punched 6 times across, making 12 holes in all.
- Starting at one end, weave
your ribbon in and out of the holes, gently pulling the ribbon all the
way through as you go. Trim both ends of the ribbon with a slanted angle
or in a V to prevent fraying.
- Add glitter accents to the
center of the red heart, or wherever it would look nice with your particular
hearts. If you are using real glitter, draw a heart shape using Elmer's
glue, sprinkle glitter on the top and shake off the excess. If you are
using glitter glue or puff paint, just draw a heart shape border and then
"color in" the center.

Sarah, This is a wonderful Valentine card! I appreciate the time it took to write out the detailed recipe. (I do "project recipes" for each of the projects I offer at my card classes...so I know how time consuming it can be!) TFS (following you now)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I also enjoyed reading your color coach and inspiration list! I think you covered just about everything. The photos really added to it!
You're invited to visit my "Avenue of Art".
