Card Front:
- Card Base: before folding card, make new score lines & cutting lines as per instructions here EXCEPT I made the bottom 1" tall, and the sides 1 1/4" wide
- Background: I cut the background from red patterned paper. I first cut a piece that was 6 3/4" x 4 3/4". Then I removed the side pieces - cutting in 1 3/8" on each side, leaving 3/4" at the bottom.
- Focal: The focal was cut using the "Love & 5 Hearts Dies" - cutting the lacy border & center from white card stock and the center from red glimmer paper. These were layered and glued in place as shown. Then a banner was cut using a die from "Vintage Label & Banner" stamped in red with a stamp from "Antique Valentine Tags One" and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. It was then added to the focal using foam squares for dimension.
- Borders: For the side borders I cut pieces of white patterned paper slightly smaller than the card sides and inked the edges. I then glued a wide red ribbon & narrow white ribbon over this, tucking the ends to the back before gluing to the card. The bottom border was done similarly with wide white ribbon and narrow red, ends tucked to the back before the background was glued to the card base. A small red bow was added in the center.
- 2 strips of the red paper form borders
- The center of a white heart doily was cut out and glued in place, then a die cut from my stash was added. I decided to make the heart a little more visible by taking a red fine-line pen and marking the holes around the border of the heart.
- Final touch was adding a sentiment from "Special Gifts Labels Twenty-Nine" stamp set using red ink.
