Hello
Well it’s been a
very windy day here in New Holland and I believe it to be the same all over the
country for today, hopefully it will die down soon.
Today I have
made a Valentine’s Day card, I thought as I need to be making card to stock
pile I may as well get a start on some Valentines.
I was browsing
some files and folders a few days ago and came across a sheet by Paper Creator,
check them out at
The sheet had 5
heart themed toppers in different sizes and then a small flower topper and a blank,
I used the largest heart as well as the flower and blank panels
To make this
card I used a sheet of A4 matt black soft touch card which was folded to make
an A5 card. I am using the card in landscape for this design.
I covered the
card front leaving a narrow border at the bottom and both sides with a backing
paper that looks white on the photo’s, it is actually palest pink and has 3cm
hearts all over it.
Using a sheet of
normal black card I cut 3 panels which measured 5cm x 13cm, rounded the corners
using the corner chomper and stuck them to the card, leaving a gap between each
panel, then I used some white with red hearts backing paper, cut out 3 panels
measuring 4.6 x 12.5 cms, rounded the corners and then stuck to the black
panels using double sided tape.
The large heart
topper was trimmed and matted with black card, the corners were rounded on both
the mat and the topper, and I used double sided tape. The topper was then taped
onto the 2 black panels at an angle.
The flower
topper and blank topper were both trimmed down to 5cm square, corners rounded
and matted to black card which was 5.4cm and again rounded the corners.
I used double
sided tape to attach the black topper to the last long panel, I positioned it
in a diamond shape style, then stuck the flower panel in the same way
overlapping the blank topper slightly.
I searched my
small sentiments box and found several useable things, a pink tag shaped
sentiment saying Kiss Me Kick which I attached to the bottom right hand corned securing
in place with a brad with a lovely black stone in the centre .
I cut down a
sentiment so I was left with Love and this was added to the top of the panel
above the heart, and in the corner of the heart topper I added a lovely cream pearl heart gem.
On the blank
topped I glued a cerise pink mirri oval printed “With Love” in the centre then
over the overlapping toppers I added “Be Mine” and finally below the flower was
“I small heart U
To finish this
card I simply added an amber coloured ab gem to the flower centre!
This card is so
out of my comfort zone but I am determined to make more of MY cards...this was
my 1st... What do you think to it please?
Well I had
better get myself motivated as its time I was in the kitchen starting on the
Korma for tonight’s meal
Catch up again
tomorrow
Keep safe and
warm
Hugs
