Hello! After the creating the Valentine’s Day card roundup, which you can see HERE, and rediscovering treasures in my crafting supplies, I was inspired to create a new card for the holiday. Picture a charming gnome on top of a cart brimming with hearts paired with a sentiment that reads “Loads of Love.”
-
- To begin, create sentiment on your computer and print. Trim to an A2-size panel and apply Distress Oxide inks in Hickory Smoke and Tumbled Glass to establish the ground and sky. Attach panel to a card base.
- Apply Distress Oxide inks to Soft Finish Cardstock and cut pieces for the Gnome (I used the Farmer set for the eyes), Hay Ride (trailer), and hearts (various die sets listed below). Assemble the gnome and the trailer. (Note: I used a 1/2″ circle die to cut part of the wheel assembly.)
- Add die-cut hearts to trailer. I added the hearts on the bottom row first, then I put the trailer on to the card base and filled the cart until I was happy with the amount.
- Add gnome to cart.
You can see a similar autumn-themed card with several of the same Elizabeth Craft Designs supplies HERE.
That is a great valentine card. You are pointing out there are many possibilities with things we already have.
Adorable gnomie on his heart load, Jean – love it!!
Oh this is so sweet, Jean. Love it.
