Hi there! We are so excited to kick off a new month here at Elle’s Studio and get ready for Valentine’s Day with a special event:
Today through Friday, we will be sharing love-themed projects: cards, pocket page layouts, traditional layouts and a mini album, all documenting and celebrating love, because that’s all we need, right?
I’m Meghann Andrew, and I’m kicking off the event with a couple of simple cards, perfect to give to someone you love on Valentine’s Day!
Supplies for “Hugs & Kisses” card | January 2017 Digital Cut File, Valentine Banner Stickers, Heart Puffy Stickers
Supplies for “Be Mine” card | All My Heart Stamp, Be Mine Acrylic Heart, Valentine Banner Stickers, Love Mix Sequins
To start off my first card, I pulled out my gelato crayons and a bit of water to create a red, salmon, pink and metallic gold background. While my colored background dried, I sized the heart background from the January 2017 Digital Cut File to just under 4-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, so that there would be a small border around the background on my card front.
Once the gelatos were dry, I adhered the watercolor paper to the hearts die-cut background, then adhered that to the folded card. I backed the “hugs and kisses” Valentine Banner Stickers with a piece of cardstock, and adhered it to the card with dimensional adhesive. Lastly, I added three Puffy Heart Stickers, just to add a different texture to the card front.
The second card took a few more minutes to create, as I stamped “you” and “are” in pink repeatedly on the background from the All My Heart Stamp. Then, I added “loved” in red to complete the background.
After I tied a pretty bow around my card front (by cutting a slit in the fold of the card), I backed the Be Mine Acrylic Heart with red cardstock and adhered it on top of the ribbon. The “sweetheart” Valentine Banner Sticker and a few pink sequins finished off the card nicely.
Thanks for joining me today here on the blog! Stay tuned for more projects this week, all celebrating the month of love!
