XOXOXO - Valentine's Card




Hi everyone and happy Saturday :)

Isn't it unbelievable how fast time flies? 
It seems like Christmas was only yesterday but Valentine's Day is next week, already.... oh man.... really?

Well, for my card I have used the lovely, versatile sketch from Joni Andaya for CAS(E) this Sketch! to create ... yep, you already guessed it ;-) ... another Valentine's card.

At first, I planned to put the white panel straight onto the card front (this way, the sketch would have been more obvious), but in the end I decided to put it down at an angle, so the arrows  on the patterned paper in the background have the same direction and "flow" like the heart cut out :)




Please refer to the grey boxes below this post for step-by-step instructions and a complete list of supplies :)

    Instructions
  • create a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" top folded card base from 4 1/4" x 11" white cardstock
  • cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of patterned paper and adhere to card front
  • cut a 3 3/8" x 4 3/8" piece of white cardstock  and create a faux stitching border by using a paper piercing tool and a Memento Marker in Lady Bug (to draw the faux thread between the holes)
  • die cut heart ("Heart Board Fri-Dies") in upper half of  the panel
  • stamp "XOXOXO" ("Love Notes" set) with Brilliance Rocket Red
  • wrap blue twine around white panel and tie into bow
  • mount panel to card front on an angle using dimensional foam tape
  • embellish with clear rhinestones
