Send A Card That Brightens Someone’s Day
Make an adorable handmade card using the Valentine Kisses Bundle. With a sweet bear, a simple kissing-booth scene, and an easy color palette, this project is perfect for any occasion when you want to send something cute and heartfelt.
Supplies Needed
- Azure Afternoon Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Scored at 4-1/4"
- Basic White Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (for inside of card)
- Splendid Autumn Designer Paper: 4" x 5-1/2" (tree pattern)
- Splendid Autumn Designer Paper: 3" x 6" (Wild Wheat)
- Splendid Autumn Designer Paper: 1" x 2" (Cajun Craze for sign)
- Basic White Cardstock: 3" x 5-1/2" (for die-cutting)
Instructions
- Fold the Azure Afternoon cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card base. Optional: stamp the "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment inside the card using Black Memento Ink.
- Adhere the 4" x 5-1/2" piece of Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper to the front of the card base.
- Using your Paper Trimmer, trim off 1/2" from the shorter (3") end of the 3" x 6" piece of Wild Wheat Splendid Autumn paper so that it measures 1/2" x 3". Using Black Memento ink pad, stamp the "sending lots of love" sentiment onto the 1/2" strip. If desired, trim both ends using scissors or your Trimmer. Adhere to the top right of the card, as shown in the sample, using Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Run the remaining piece of the Wild Wheat Splendid Autumn paper through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut the "short" bear image, the "booth" images, and 4 of the small bird die-cuts using the Bundle Dies.
- Color in the Bear using the Ivory Blend, the birds using the Light Azure Afternoon Blend, and the bird beaks using the Dark Timid Tiger Blend. Assemble the kissing booth, then adhere the bear to the back of the kissing booth so he shows through. Adhere one of the birds to the kissing booth as shown in the sample. Adhere the booth to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. Adhere the other bird to the lower right of the card (see sample for placement.)
- Carefully ink up the "kisses" sentiment using the corner of the Memento Ink Pad and stamp onto the Cajun Craze Splendid Autumn paper. You can also handwrite the kissses sentiment onto the sign after you die-cut it out. Run the paper through the Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut using the Sign Die from the Bundle.
- Adhere the sign to the kissing booth using adhesive; add one of the Azure Afternoon Rainbow Dots as a "hanger" for the sign.
