Today I'm introducing a new feature on my blog.... I'm calling it Totally Easy Tuesday. Every Tuesday I will post a stamping project that is easy... easy to make, doesn't have a lot of steps or require a lot of tools. I will be using the Big Shot on a lot of these projects because I really feel the Big Shot is a must have tool for every paper crafter. It saves time and makes the projects easy! These projects will be projects that you can easily duplicate, and if you don't have a Big Shot, I will try to offer alternative suggestions. And I will share step by step instructions for these cards.
Today's card is a Totally Easy Valentine's Card. Directions and a full supply list with links to the products is at the bottom of the post:
Directions and Supplies:
1. Begin with a half sheet of Real Red Card stock(202482) (8 1/2 x 5 1/2). Fold it in half and crease along the fold line with your Bone Folder (102330).
2. Take a piece of Basic Gray card stock (121044) (4 x 1 1/2), and punch a decorative border. In my sample I used the Scallop Edge Border Punch (119882), but you could use any of our border punches.
3. Adhere the Basic Gray piece of card stock to the back of a piece of DSP (4 x 2) using SNAIL adhesive (104332). Here I used Love Impressions Specialty Paper (121780) from the Occasions Mini Catalog. Then attach to the base of the card.
4. Using the Big Shot (113439) and theScalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit (117332) , punch out a heart from Pretty in Pink Card stock. If you want to dress up the card a little more, punch out more hearts. If you don't have a Big Shot, you can use the Full Heart punch (119883) . Attach hearts to your card using SNAIL adhesive and/or Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).
5. Stamp greeting in Basic Gray Classic Ink (109120). I used the Valentine's greeting from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (115370). This stamp set is another "must have" for the paper crafter. It's like the little black dress of stamping.... it has something for every occasion!
6. Don't forget to stamp your name on the back of the card and decorate your envelope! You can order personalized name stamps or use one of the stamps from the Art By Design stamp set(104920).
That's it.... totally easy, right?!?
