Valentines Card

Thanks for supporting me!

Materials Required

• ​Love Card Insert - see the tutorial 
• Paper trimmer
• Craft knife
• Card base - A5 scored and folded in half - see the scoring tutorial
• Craft paper - I used a dark denim print paper
• Alpha Dies - I used Sizzix Thinlits 664223 & 664224
• Sizzix Big Shot
• Sandpaper or ink pad
• Double sided sticky tape
• Sticker Maker or craft glue
• Tweezers
• Heart die OR Fiskars Shape cutter with hearts template  OR Heart Punch

Instructions

1. Cut out 7 small hearts using die cut / Fiskars shape cutter / Heart Punches / by hand.
I used my Fiskars shape cutter - the hearts are 2.2cm wide.

2. Sand or ink the edges of the hearts 

3. Cut out your chosen words

4. Cut a piece of craft paper to 14cm x 9.8cm. Use double sided sticky tape to adhere it to the front of the base card.

5. Position your hearts and words onto the card. When you are happy with the arrangement, take a photo so that you can repeat the placement when you stick them down. 

6. Sand or ink the edges of the letters and hearts.

Sanding the Letters

7. Using a sticker maker or craft glue, adhere the hearts and letters down in the arrangement you organised earlier. Use the picture on the phone to help position them.

8. Trim the sides of the card if necessary. My design had the hearts overhanging the sides of the card, so I needed to trim those level with the card edges.
