Valentine's cards
As it's Valentine's Day on Sunday, I thought I would share some ideas with you for making cards. So first, look out some card-making supplies
a selection of cards and trims
my lovely new toy, the Cuttlebug
wording printed out from the computer
This is my homemade 'lightbox' - a picture frame (which has perspex rather than glass) supported on books, with a light underneath.
I put the card over the sheet of wording and traced over the words lightly with a pencil
I decorated the cards with different shapes and wording - here is a selection of cards
a central strip of patterned card, with heart-shaped buttons
a cute sentiment, wording from an old card and sticky-backed ribbon
music from an old book, frame cut with the Cuttlebug, traced wording
layers of card with a glittery heart, sticky-back ribbon and traced wording
hearts cut from patterned card, sticky-backed trim and traced wording
a tiny tag, held in place with a decorative brad
I hope these cards have given you some inspiration to make a card for your loved one - and I hope you receive a lovely card too!
