Happy Valentine's Day!

You still have time to make a Valentine! Here is a fancy card that I made for the WorldWin Papers Winter CHA booth.
 

1. Create a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch (top fold) card base from WorldWin Papers Treasures Pitch Black cardstock. 

2. Trim two pieces of WorldWin Papers ColorMates Original Heritage White cardstock to slightly smaller than the card front and add a layer to the front and to the inside of the card (approximately 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inches).

3. To create the pink layer, use WorldWin Papers Pink Twist cardstock. 

4. Emboss the Pink Twist with an embossing folder, then trim it to size and attach it to the card front (approximately 5 1/4 x 4 inches).
5. Using a die template, cut two decorative hearts, one from Silver Twist and one from White Twist cardstock. Stack the hearts together to create a focal embellishment.

6. Use foam dimensional adhesive to attach the heart to the center of the card as shown.

7. Use ColorMates Original Heritage White cardstock and a banner die cut template to cut a sentiment strip. Stamp the sentiment message onto the strip with black ink. Add two rhinestones for decoration. Attach the sentiment strip to the top center of the card.

8. Trim ColorMates Original Heritage White cardstock to approximately 3 x 4 1/8 inches. Trim the bottom edge with a heart edge punch. Trim to fit as needed.

9. Trim a strip of Silver Twist cardstock to fit the white strip (approximately 1 x 4 1/8 inches). 

10. Trim a strip of Pink Twist cardstock to fit over the silver strip (approximately 1/2 x 4 1/8 inches).

11. Wrap the punched border panel with white ric rac as shown, and attach the panel to the bottom of the card.

12. Stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card with black ink.

13. Trim a strip of Pink Twist cardstock to fit the bottom of the card (approximately 1/2 x 4 1/8 inches).

Enjoy!
