I just love Valentine's Day ... and not just for the chocolate! I really enjoy creating Valentine's Day cards and it's fun to have an opportunity to use some of my favorite stamps. Like this one.
This 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card was super-simple to create using just one rubber stamp, a couple of inexpensive brads, distressed card stock, and jute.
The base of the card is Bazzill Kraft card stock. I stamped my image on Image Plus white card stock with chalk ink and matted the image on chocolate brown Bazzill textured card stock.
I distressed the textured card stock with a Heidi Swapp paper distresser ... a bargain at only $1.19!
I tied natural jute around the base of the stamped card stock and added two antique copper corner brads on the top corners. I clipped off the prongs with a wire cutting tool and glued the photo corners directly to my project; these larger brads have a tendency to slip around and gluing them down keeps them securely in place.
Finally, I mounted the matted stack on my card stock base using dimensionals. And that's it!
Ingredients:
Card stock: Bazzill Kraft; Chocolate Brown Bazzill Corduroy Textured card stock; and, Image Plus 110 lb. card stock in white
Stamp: Club Scrap
Ink: Memories Chalks-a-Lot! (Stewart Superior)
Adhesives: Mini Pop Dots (All Night Media); Crafter's Pick The Ultimate (Api); Tape Runner (Tombow Mono)
Tools: Paper Distresser (Heidi Swapp); Wire Cutter (Plato)
Accessories: Antique Copper corner brads (Oriental Trading); Natural jute (The Home Depot)

Hi, I love this card! It's exactly what I've been looking to buy for my husband.
I have a question: Are several different artists blogging here? There is so much versatility here, it seems like it must be nore than one artist, yes??
