valentines diy! 

 i will make two posts one for each card because i feel like it would be a very long post. so let's get started!

  gather supplies

you will need:

card stock any color you like (i used red)

things to trace /hand draw hearts or you could use punches if you have them

exacto knife

self healing mat/card board

paper

marker

step 1: 

draw or trace hearts and cut them out. you can put them any where i just did them in the right hand corner because that's where they looked cute to me and you can make them any size too.

step 2: 

cut a piece of card stock to fill your heart holes 

and glue in place

step 3: 

embellish your card i put scallops on my plain red card stock to add some interest as well as dashes so it looks like embroidery.

step 4:

to make use of the card stock in the back of your hearts i put some washi tape to secure it down and wrote xo just so it doesn't look not thought about but if you don't like seeing it you can always just put a piece of colored paper the size of the card back. 

volla a valentine in just 4 steps!

i also wanted to share the valentines i did for the fibers club! i hope you like them, they are just variations  with the same message. 

stay tuned for part 2 tomorrow!

getting ready for valentines

i say it every time but this time its true i am gonna make a valentines card diy! yes yes its true. i will be making it and posting it tomorrow. but today i did make some valentines for the fibers class sale.  yes i'm a wimp i have been in the same position for 5 yes 5 hours and now my back hurts but its all worth it! i love them. i will show you mine a little later on (sneak peek picture above).  right now i'm off to relax my back and maybe paint my nails again. mix the colors one on top of each other (because they work really well and don't chip as easy as others.) have a good weekend and keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for my diy!
