Kitty Love

Hello,

I made a valentine for a friend who goes back to seventh grade.  I wanted it to be similar to a child’s valentine, in that it doesn’t open and fold.  It turned out pretty cute.

CARD BASE – 110# Neenah Crest Solar White Cardstock cut to 3-1/2  x  4-7/8 inches.  Do not fold.

CARD FRONT

• 140# Strathmore Watercolor Paper cut to 3-1/2  x  4-7/8 inches
• kitty – Penny Black Every Which Way Stamp Set                                         
• Versafine Onyx Black Ink Pad
• Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers – gray, pink, red, green (flower stem) 
• water and a small brush

After the kitty stamp is colored, wet the rest of the paper with a brush and water (avoiding the kitty).  Scribble Zig markers on a craft sheet (yellow, blue, pink).  Spray the color just a little with water.  Paint the colors on the paper horizontally, overlapping the colors.  Let this dry, then stamp the rest.     

• postmark – Stampin’ Up! discontinued valentine stamp set
• Gina K Red Hot Ink Pad

 

• sentiment – unidentified valentine stamp set purchased at Michael’s 
• Versafine Onyx Black Ink Pad – Stamp Happy Valentine’s. 
• Stampendous Clear Embossing Powder – Heat emboss Happy Valentine’s.

 

• Versamark Clear Embossing Ink Pad – Stamp XO.
• Recollections Glacier Embossing Powder – Heat emboss XO.

 

• row of hearts – Stampin’ Up! discontinued valentine stamp set
• Gina K Red Hot Ink Pad

 

•  border of dashes – Pilot Precise V5 RT Black Pen 
• ruler

Tear around the edges of the front panel.  Go over the edges with the pink Zig marker.  Adhere the card front to the card base a strong adhesive.  I used 3/4 inch eBoot Double Sided Adhesive (amazon.com).

EMBELLISH

Go over the large heart with a Clear Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen.  Let this dry a few minutes.  Apply Christmas Red Stickles to the small hearts.  Apply Glossy Accents to the big heart.  Dry completely.

A simple card, but quite a few steps when you lay it all out.  Let this inspire you to make a valentine for someone you value.

Sincerely,

Tricia Ann
