LOVE Valentine Card

Created this Valentine's Day Card after seeing a card similar that Shell created using an SVG file that you can see here.

I used some of my very first Sizzix Original dies I ever bought, Sizzix Fun Serif Uppercase Alphabet. I have them in a tower that use to be sold to store the Sizzix Original dies in. I like that they have one Uppercase letter individually & the Lowercase letters are individual as well. I used the negative cuts of the letters so the red shows thru.

White base is 6 1/4" x 6 1/4" white cardstock. Layer of red is 6" x 6". Used Fiskars corner punch. Always have to practice with the corner punches because if not lined up properly you I mess up. Wish they would make them so you can flip them and punch more easily to see if lined up properly but the part that you press down is not easily pushed; or at least I do not find it easy to push it down. First 2 layers I practiced I messed up 1 corner out of 4. White squares are 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". Used Spellbinder for heart negative cut.

 























adhesive:red tape
paper: cardstock - red, white
punch: Fiskars Valentrio corner
Sizzix: Fun Serif Uppercase L V E - negative cuts squares
Spellbinder: Nest Classic Hearts
twine: red/white
