VALENTINE'S DAY CARD
(Using Skeleton Leaf)
Valentines Day is fast approaching and you
need a card to send to that most important person. Well here’s
one you can rustle up in next to no time. This is a smart little
card that will show the one you love, just how much you care about
them. Everyone likes a handmade card!
Materials:
 One
blank card 115mm x 105mm aprox. (easy to make as this is just a
piece of card folded in half)
1 x Envelope to match.
1 x Piece of red/dark red handmade paper measuring 80mm x 80mm
2 x Pieces of thin gold card or wrapping paper 40mm x 40mm
1 Piece of handmade paper in red/dark red 30mm x 30mm
1 x Hand cut heart shape 30mm max in size.
2 x Leaf skeletons.
1 x Hand cut heart template to cut the leaf skeleton heart from.
1 x Hand cut heart template
to cut the small red heart from .
A glue stick, rule and cutting mat (or a chopping
board/newspaper/piece of an old cardboard box)
A steady hand!
How to proceed:
I cut the small leaf
skeleton out by hand. Make sure that you have a large vein through
the middle of the heart shape to keep it all together. They are
very delicate.
Same goes for the large
heart!
Then it’s a matter of sticking it all
together.
All it needs now is that personal touch of a
little poem or sentiment to your valentine. Who couldn’t love
you when they receive a card like this?
