Two Hearts

Inspiration

Here’s a card I made for January anniversaries, then thought it looks like a Valentine - you could certainly use it for either occasion!

Ingredients

Paper

Ink

Versamark (Tsukeniko); Riding Hood Red (SU!)

Stamps

Grateful Greetings (SU!); A Word for You (SU!)

Accessories

White Detail Embossing Powder (Stampendous); Heat Gun; Sweetheart Charms Favor Accents (Wilton); Edge Punch (Martha Stewart); Glue Dots; Scor-Pal; ATG (Scotch); rotary trimmer with straight blade (Fiskars); Scissors

Instructions

Greeting

Stamp the greeting in the lower left corner of the larger piece of patterned paper, and sprinkle with embossing powder. Shake off the excess, then heat to emboss.

Assembly

Use the edge punch to punch one side of the strip of vanilla card stock.

Mount the patterned paper at the bottom of the card, then add the punched strip. Add the smaller piece of patterned paper over the punched edge, leaving the punched pattern visible.

Mount the small brown block in the upper right area of the top patterned paper, and the small vanilla block on top of that.

Add the hearts charm, using glue dots to hold it in place.

Final Notes

Inside

Inside the card, I added a mat layer of Robin Hood Red and a layer of vanilla.  I stamped a sentiment in matching red ink on the vanilla panel.
