It's Not Too Early...

...to start thinking about making your Valentine's Day Cards!
.....................................................................................................................

This card is filled with texture and sparkle! Here are the complete directions and supply list so that you can recreate it on your own!

Supplies:

• 602222 Chance patterned paper (Caliope collection)

• 519483 Elysee ribbon-light pink

• 511500 Say It In Crystals charm-rose heart

• 517397 Say It In Crystals swirl-pink

• 517083 Prima chipboard letters-Steel Toe Mary Jane

• light and medium pink cardstock, white paper doily (4 inches), piece of cardboard, light brown ink, embossing folder, Fabri-Tac adhesive

Directions:

1. Cut a 6x12 piece of Chance paper. Score and fold to form a 6 inch square card.

2. Run a 5x5 piece of medium pick cardstock through an embossing machine (I used a Cuttlebug with the textile template. Since the cardstock is larger than the template simply run it through twice, moving the folder over each time.) If you do not have an embossing template feel free to skip this step.

3. Ink the embossed area with light brown ink (I love Antique Linen Distress ink by Ranger.) Adhere the pink cardstock to the patterned paper card.

4. Adhere a paper doily on top of the pink cardstock.

5. Cut a 2.5 inch heart out of light pink cardstock. Emboss with textile folder. Ink all edges. Adhere this to a small square of cardboard.

6. Tie a knot in the middle of a strand of the pink Elysee ribbon. Dangle a Crystal Heart Charm from the knot (I used the twist tie that comes with the crystal charm. Just tuck the twist tie ends inside the ribbon knot to hide them.)

7. Glue the ribbon to the heart tucking the ends behind. (I used Fabri-tac by Beacon Adhesives.) Adhere this finished heart piece in the center of the paper doily.

8. Add your chipboard letters to the card as shown. If you want to slightly overlap them add a touch of Fabri-Tac to the backs of the letters to give them extra holding power.

9. Add a small crystal swirl sticker to the letter L.

10. Add a 5 inch square pink cardstock to the inside of the card and write your special Valentine's message on it!

If you would like to have your name added to the drawing, simply leave a comment (with your state/country)under that post. A few days later we will randomly choose a winner from the comments on that post and ship the Prima products right to you!

Let's take a peek at Week 1! Enclosed is a tin of Forever Flowers (White Hydrangeas), Got Flowers (Valentine's Collection) and a  Crown Jewels Tin (Colette). Aren't these be the perfect flowers for your upcoming Valentine's Day projects? Just leave a comment for your chance to win! The winner will be chosen on Monday, January 21st!
