I really enjoyed making my DH's Valentine card this year. I am going through a phase of 'using up the scraps' at the moment, so I started with the intention of doing just that. I found some deep pink cardstock, a scrap of purple Bazzill card, a piece of corrugated card from a paper cup that Charlie pilfered from the coffee machine in the Co-op, and a tiny bit of pale pink pearlised card. I just liked the colour combination and wanted to keep it pretty simple.
I used my Cuttlebug to make the embossed heart stamp (the die + embossing folder came free with the Cuttlebug). I layered this on the corrugated card, then on to the purple card, then on to the hot pink folded card. I added a small piece of pink grosgrain ribbon, onto which I applied a rub-on 'you'. In hindsight, it would have been better to have rubbed on the 'you' before sticking the ribbon to the corrugated card to avoid flattening it.. oh well, I live and learn.
One other thing I did was to use my Fiskars Threading Water punch on the purple card to add a nice scallop detail. And that was that! I don't know what my DH was more delighted with, this card or the box of Guylian seashells I gave him.. ; )
