I really wanted to make a Valentine’s Day card this month but when I saw the papers with blues, greens and browns, it appeared that this was not going to work. Then I saw one of the Cardstock Stickers in the set said “I’d Melt for You.” Presto I had a Valentine’s Day card idea. To make the card, just like I did you cut out two 6 ¼” x 4 ½” pieces of cardstock, score and glue them together so you have the Winter Plaid on the outside and the Snowy Aspen on the inside for writing. Look carefully before you cut as there are some nice white designs on the plaid that you may want to place on the edge of your card. Cut a 6 ¼” x 2 ¼” strip of Skate Scratch and put a small a strip of Brown Snowy Scratch cut with a scallop punch on each side. Affix to the center of the card.
Stamp a snowman on the Snowy Aspen paper with VersaMark. I used the Basic Grey Snowman but any stamp would work. Emboss with Chestnut Zing Embossing Powder and cut out. Make a hat using the same technique. Stamp three little hearts with VersaMark and emboss with Barn Door Embossing Powder. Paint the snowman with Chandalier Glimmer Glam. (You could also use small heart buttons or cut small hearts from a pretty paper. If you are affixing something to the snowman, paint with Glimmer Glam and then affix objects.) Draw a face on the snowman with a pen. Fastened the snowman to the right side of the card with pop dots. Glue three chocolate hearts in red and silver foil to the left side using Glossy Accents.
Paint the Cardstock Sticker that says “I’d Melt for You” with Chandalier Glimmer Glam. Stick the sticker on a piece of Brown Snowy Scratch and cut around the edge leaving a small border. To make the card a little more Valentiney, make the word “Melt” red. I used Claudine Hellumuth’s dash of red acrylic paint. The tip on the bottle is so tiny that I was able to fill in the tiny word directly from the bottle. Affix the Cardstock Sticker to the card.
Stamp your Valentine’s message inside the card.
