This quick and easy Valentine greeting is "full" of goodies and quick and easy to make. If you have some foil wrapped chocolate hearts then you can make a few of these before LOVE day. I will "reveal" what is inside at the end of my post.
First the supplies are everything that most of us have on hand.
I chose two stamps to use with my project, 1204-I LOVE, and I thought the
219-C Love Letter went very well with this project. As you can see the supplies are very basic. You will need a piece of kraft card stock measuring 6 1/4 x 5 1/2, score on the 6 1/4in side at 2 3/4 and 3 1/2, fold score lines both mountain folds. You will need a piece of coordinating card stock measuring 5 in x 2 5/8 for you to stamp on. You will need a piece of ribbon about 12 in. long, and oh 3 yummy chocolate hearts. These are Reese's Peanut Butter hearts (my hubby's favorite).
I dug around in my tool drawer and found my stamp position tool (yes I still use this tool.) I stamped it once on the acrylic piece that comes with this tool and then using that as my guide I stamped the LOVE a total of three times lining it up pretty close. I then decided where I wanted my ribbon and made just a small pencil mark and then random stamped the love letter on the bottom.
I added my ribbon with glue dots and added some black splatters - I like red, white, kraft and black combination.
Oh I think I said I would show you what was on the inside well here is the card opened. I used some double sided foam tape to hold my chocolate hearts inside. I can assure you they won't be there very long.
Why not grab some supplies and make a couple of these before Valentine Day. A trip to the store for chocolate hearts and you have a card and a giftie.
