Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop for January!
Here is a very simple Valentines Card using the January Stamp of The Month. You can purchase the Stamp of the Month for a discounted price of $5 with a qualifying order of $50.
I created a card base sized 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 using our white daisy Card stock.
The Ruby stripe is cut at 2 1/2 x 5 1/2. The Black stripe is cut at 2 1/4 x 5 1/2.
I used a single strand of the Cranberry Baker's Twine and attached it to the back of the black card stock making sure there would be sufficient drape for the hearts. I created 2 little bows (using the fork method).
I attached the black stripe to the Ruby strip and attached it to the front of the card.
I cut the hearts with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge from the Ruby card stock at 1/4 inch larger that specified on the stamp carrier sheet because I like the look better. I stamped the hearts with black ink and attached them to the card with our 3-D dimensional tape.
My final steps were to stamp XO at the bottom of the card and attach the two bows with a little drop of liquid glass.
Stamp Set used:
January Stamp of the Month Cross-stitch Wishes S1401
Ruby Z2170
Black Z2105
Card stock:
Ruby X5927
Black 1386
White Daisy 1385
Cricut Cuts from Artiste (page 51, shift accent 2):
Large heart - 1 3/4 - slightly larger than recommended on stamp carrier sheet
Small heart - 1 1/4 - slightly larger than recommended on stamp carrier sheet
Cranberry Baker's Twine Z1752
3-D Foam Tape Z1151
