Loving You Card

Hi!

Well, it is about time I start blogging! I was stuck with a nasty flu. Never good.

Anyhow, I am back (and no, I didn't abandon you guys), and here's a Valentine's Day card I had made a while back before my illness struck.

So, the card is a standard size (4.25" by 5.5"), and its made with Bazzill ALMOND CREAM cardstock. The first thing I did was cut out a 1.5" wide strip of patterned paper out of a Dear Lizzy NEOPOLITAN 6 x 6 Paper Pad by American Crafts. Next, to get the placement of the circles right, I punched out 3 1" circles with an EK Success 1" CIRCLE PUNCH from some scrap computer paper (masking paper would work too). Then I temporarily adhered them to the card, where I punched them out to create the circles in the front flap of the card. For the hearts inside the punched circles, I punched out 3 small hearts with Stampin Up!'s SMALL HEART Punch. Adhered them with foam adhesive, and then to give a glassy/glossy sheen to them, I added Inkssentials GLOSSY ACCENTS and just spread it around each of the hearts. After that, I cut and adhered another strip of patterned paper, measuring 1" wide, right above the previous piece of patterned paper. Next, for the sentiment, I used VERSAMARK Ink and Stampendous DETAIL WHITE Embossing Powder to stamp and emboss with BasicGrey's LOVING YOU MORE EACH DAY stamp set (For some reason, I couldn't find the site where I got this from :(.). Lastly, I used some brown ribbon (Can't remember the specs. Sorry!) to wrap around the top of the strip of patterned paper (Adhered it on the inside of the card.) To finish it off, I tied a bow and adhered it with a glue dot on top of the ribbon.
