Countdown to Valentine's Day: Card 2

Lovebirds mini card

Happy Wednesday!

Today, for the second card in the Valentine’s Day countdown, we are going to use scrap paper to make a sweet little mini card. This easy to make card is the perfect size for attaching to flowers, boxes of chocolates and all those other romantic Valentine’s Day gifts.

Supplies:

·      Pink card stock scrap from Monday’s post

·      Square of pale pink card stock, measuring 2 1/2” x 2 1/2”

Equipment:

·      Paper trimmer

·      Bone folder

·      Decorative scissors (“cloud” pattern)

·      Black stamping ink pad

·      Lovebirds stamp

·      Black thin tipped marker

·      Mini heart paper punch

·      Glue stick

·      Glue runner

Directions:

1.     With the paper trimmer, cut the pink card stock from Monday’s post into a 3” x 6” rectangle. Save the scraps for step 6.

2.     Fold the 3” x 6” rectangle into a 3” x 3” card.

3.     Cut around the edges of the pale pink card stock square with the cloud patterned decorative scissors.

4.     Saturate the lovebirds stamp with the ink pad. Stamp the image on to the pale pink square, placing the image so that there is room to write underneath it. Allow time for the ink to dry.

5.     Write “lovebirds” under the stamped image with the marker.

6.     Punch four hearts from the card stock scraps from step 1.

7.     Glue the hearts on to the four corners of the pale pink card stock.

8.     Use the glue runner to attach the pale pink card stock on to the front panel of the card.
