Hello, I'm back again to share a simple Valentines card make with
you, and this one could not be more different from the card I posted yesterday. This week the Design Team are working on Valentines Day cards that
are easy to create and do not involve any die cutting or other expensive
tools.
For my make I have simply used ready cut scrap booking elements,
along with some ribbons and gems from my stash and teamed them with
coloured card from Papermilldirect's fab range of colours.
I created a card blank by scoring and folding an A4 sheet of
Papermilldirect Baby Pink card and then trimmed it down to 5" x 7" (a
standard card size that for quickness will fit into a ready bought or
made envelope)
Taking the Hedgehog glittered die cut from the pack I used 3D foam
pads to adhere to a slightly larger piece of Papermilldirect Ruby Red
Card and then layered again onto a slightly larger piece of PMD Baby
pink card this time using double sided tape to create my image panel
quickly.
For the sentiment panel I cut PMD Ruby Red card to measure approx 2
3/8" x 2 1/4" and matted this onto slightly larger PMD Baby Pink card
the same as previous. Taking the glittered alphabet stickers from the
Sticker book I chose letters to spell out 'LoVe' and as these are self
adhesive it is a quick way to create a sentiment. There are a few
different styles of letters in the sticker book to play with and I also
added 2 of the arrows to frame the sentiment.
To create the back panel I simply cut a piece of pattern paper to
approx 6" x 4" and matted to a piece of PMD Ruby Red card measuring 6.5"
x 4.5". I took a sentiment ribbon from my stash and added it across
the paper panel, securing the ends on the back with double sided tape.
The back panel was then adhered to the card front using 3D foam pads to
give a little height.
Adhere the hedgehog panel to card front using 3D foam pads so that it
sits over the ribbon. Adhere 'love' panel at an angle using double
sided tape, just slipping the corner under the ribbin at RH side. To
finish I looped pink & white bakers twine round the ribbon and tied
in a double bow trimming the ends to suit, and added 3 Self adhesive
heart gems to lower RH side of paper panel.
This is an easy make requiring only a paper trimmer (or craft knife and
ruler if you prefer) to trim card to size. Using coloured cardstocks
adds more interest to simple makes and using ready die-cut shapes and
sticker elements helps to create a quick and co-ordinated look.
