I really liked the pretty paper on the top half of this card, so I didn't want to add too much else. I added a polka dot paper on the bottom in the same colors and a ribbon to cover the seam.
I heat-embossed the sentiment with a deep gold embossing powder and die-cut it with one of my favorite label dies.
I popped the sentiment label up on a larger label that had been cut from the same cardstock as the card base. I adhered that bottom layer directly to the card front. It helped to hold the ribbon in place.
The sentiment on the inside was also heat-embossed.
I actually made two of these cards and have donated them to the thrift store.
I've been spending a lot of time making Valentines for family members. With such a large family (I need about 20 of them), it takes a while! I've also been making 8-10 Valentines a week for the thrift store, so I'm just about Valentined out.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Love the subtle color and pattern. They make the sentiment pop. Love that sentiment too.

ReplyDeletePretty papers and great card. Isn't it nice sometimes to just let the paper make the card? That's a whole lot of valentines! I think I made a total of seven. :-)
