Love Notes, Valentine's Day Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Valentine's Day card to share with you.  I found it while surfing the net. You can see the original card by clicking here.   I need to make a few Valentine's Day cards. Two are for the granddaughters. I usually go to the dollar store and buy them but I am a card maker and I thought "why am I buying cards?" Well, I buy them because I wait too long and then I'm in a pinch for a card and not time to make it. So, with Valentine's Day a few weeks away I have plenty of time to make my cards.  I'm not sure what I'll put on the inside. At Christmas when I gave the girls their cards they were bragging to each other about what was pre-printed on the inside. One said that she's very special and the other was bragging that her card said she was loved a lot. Those two crack me up.  Those two are at the age where they fight and argue a lot, so to see them read their cards to each other like that warmed my heart.  I know they will grow out of that phase.  Kids!  Anyway, onto today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock.  I grabbed my 6" x 6" "Love Notes" package. It's full of fun images to play with. Another package that I will probably not use up. I have not looked at all of the images but I'm hoping I can make some wedding and/or anniversary cards with it too.

The striped piece was cut first. It measures 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". It was taped to the front of the card. 

The hearts on top with the arrows came from a sheet with several other images on it as well as the bottom heart of hearts.  

The piece of Basic Black card stock was cut at 3-1/4" x 4-7/8". I changed the measurement from what the original post suggested.  I taped the two images to the Basic Black piece and then took some Baker's Twine I had and wrapped it three times around and tied a knot and then a bow.  Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was centered on the front of the card.  And the card was done.

This was such a super quick and easy card to make. Now to think of what to put inside. Maybe I'll write the same thing in both cards and tell them not to tell each other what I wrote!  LOL. I may use AI to see if it can come up with something fun and cleaver.  I have time to do that! One down a few more to go.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Valentine's Day card,
Wanda
