The front of the card is just a hint of the inside!
- Dark red cardstock is the base of the card, topped with Me and My Big Ideas patterned paper from 2011. The base is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (or 11" before the fold).
- Karen Burniston's Twisted Panel Pop-up dies are used to die cut light grey cardstock, dark red cardstock, and black cardstock for the front.
- Memento Tuxedo Black ink is used through the card for the stamping.
- Joy Clair's Hello Sentiments (2017) stamped the "For My" and Studio G's Sweetheart (2006) completes the front sentiment.
- Red twine decorates the tops of the sentiment's before the entire card front is adhered together.
As you can see the majority of the labor of love was in the interior of the card! To die cut and assemble the card, please follow Karen Burniston's excellent video HERE!
- Red, black, grey, pink and green cardstock are used to die cut all the pieces. The center panel with the mechanism is die cut from the same Me and My Big Ideas patterned paper used on the front of the card.
- The top panel use's Hero Arts CL498 Celebrate Everyday from 2015. Using a stamp positioner I stamped each word of the sentiment one at a time, although it is one long sentiment, "Happy Valentine's Day".
- "Be Mine" is another 2008 Studio G. They just happen to be the perfect size!
- Lawn Fawn's 2014 Hedgehugs was perfect for the two center panels of the card. The images are stamped and die cut from kraft cardstock and colored with Prisma pencils.
- Hero Arts 2013 CL582 XOXO hugs & kisses is stamped on the far right panel.
- A combination of Technique Tuesday's So Grateful from 2014 "Love You" and Scrapbook.com's 2019 XOXO "forever & ever" finish the final bottom panel.
