Valentine Easel Card~

Treasured Times Stamps  sent me two stamps to craft with and I immediately set to work on making cards! I decided to make an easel style card with the Terrye French 'love' stamp. I used:

• white card stock
• K & Company floral die cut and acetate
• Perfect Pearls Mist on the clock die cut
• Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations weathered clock
• heart eyelets, Crop A Dile and ribbon
• The Paper Studio Doodle Hearts embossing folder
• Distress Ink and Stickles
• Recollections super fine glitter in pink

I cut a piece of card stock 4 and 1/2 inches by 9 inches, and folded it in half.  Next, I folded the upper half back on itself at the midway point which was 2 and 1/4 inches by 4 and 1/2 inches- it looked like a letter 'Z' from the side.

 I decorated a 4 and 1/2 inch square piece of card stock with woven heart-embossed strips on pink matting. Then I layered the weathered clock die cut which was spritzed with Perfect Pearls Mist. I added the K & Company floral die cut, acetate butterfly and acetate sentiment. Lastly, I placed a fussy cut stamped Terrye French heart inside the clock. I stamped the heart with glue and sprinkled super fine glitter on the image.

 

If you look closely, you can see that I also added a strip of heart punched paper along the bottom front. I used a Martha Stewart border punch for this piece.

To give the card edge something to rest against so it stands open, I used my Crop A Dile to insert two heart shaped eyelets through which I tied ribbon.

 I will share my other card next time so I don't bombard you with photos! College Girl starts a new semester this week and has been getting ready to go back to the school routine - she cleaned out her closet, bought some shoes and spent some Christmas money on a Kate Spade bracelet which was on sale.

   
         

I love the positive message inside, don't you?
