Hi everybody! Wendy here. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I have a fun Valentine card idea to share with you today. I used last year's "My Funny Valentine" collection from Pebbles, Inc. to create these fun "pretend pocket" cards. As you can see, I created an entire set - and that's because they are so easy to create! Honestly, if you're making one, you can whip up a bunch in not much more time than one takes!
Gather the supplies, some adhesive, and let's create a set together! Here's everything you'll need - a heart shaped card base (cut from white cardstock), two patterned hearts (the same size as the card base), stickers, washi tape, ephemera (tags and pieces), and baker's twine.
Start by cutting one of the hearts into two pieces.
Place a strip of washi tape along the top edge of the bottom portion of the heart.
Place this piece on top of the other patterned heart. Don't glue it down yet - this will be to determine placement of the embellishments. The idea is to have the items look as though they are peeking out of the "pocket" formed by the two patterned papers.
Now that you have an idea as to where the items should be, arrange them and attach them with adhesive.
Now you can glue the bottom portion down! Wrap baker's twine over the washi tape and tie a bow.
Now add some dimensional foam adhesive on the back of the banner piece.
Place it on the bottom portion of the heart, below the washi tape.
Add a gold heart sticker right on top of the printed heart!
Place the entire piece on the white heart card base. Ta-da! That's all there is to it!
See how easy that was? Now go ahead and use different stickers and embellishments. Use the same basic steps, and you'll have an entire set of cards in no time at all!
You might even want to incorporate them in your Valentine's Day decor - they're so cute you might not want to give them away!
Happy Valentine's Day!
