Today's sample is a quick Valentine's Day card with a very simple window. This is one of the projects we made at the Southeast Library last Saturday. It was really fun and all our new friends really liked both projects.
The first picture is the completed project.
Step One: Punch the window in the card front with the Jumbo Heart Punch. Center the punch from the bottom edge and push the punch in as far as it will go. Save the heart that is punched out.
Step Two: Punch the decorative edges on the Whisper White Card Stock with the new Pinking Heart Border punch. Stamp the greeting "Love You Much" on the inside Whisper White Card stock positioning it to show in the window.
Step Three: Apply the Melon Mambo ribbon by wrapping one piece around to the back of the Whisper White decorative edged card stock. Tape the ribbon down and turn it over to the front. Next, tie the second piece of ribbon onto the first piece into a single knot and then trim your ends. We call this a "Faux Bow". If the ends do not lay where you want them to, use a mini glue dot to position them. This type of bow is less bulky than wrapping a ribbon all the way around and tieing a bow and much better for mailing.
So there you have it, a quick and easy Valentine's Day Card that is also beautiful.
