Love & Art - Valentine's Cards.

Hi everyone, I am back with my second project for AVSC using the February kit, Love & Art.
I have 2 cards measuring 4¹/₂" x 6" and some smaller cards in different sizes.

With these cards I used mainly the ephemera pack, sticker pack and the stamps from the kit,
including a few items from my personal collection.
The size of the small cards are based on the size of the ephemera's. I will use these little cards
to place in my kids lunch boxes on Valentine's day.

                     Shaker Card

For the shaker card I used Spellbinders, Nestabilities Labels Eight Etched Die, but you can use
any nesting die. I used 2 of the larger dies (not the largest the next 2).
I used Tamiya masking tape to hold them in place to make a frame. This tape is great because it doesn't leave residue on the dies and it peels off the papers easily.
I then cut 5 frames in pink and 1 in cream cardstock.

 

I removed the inner die and cut a piece of acetate with the large die, and

carefully glued each of the 5 pink frames on top of each other.

I glued the layered frame to the llama ephemera card , filled it with  shaker mix and glued the acetate

sheet on top. I used gel medium to really hold the acetate down.

Finally I glued the top frame over the acetate carefully aligning it (again I used gel medium) and decorated with hearts and a sentiment from the sticker pack.

I hope you enjoyed my Valentine's cards.
Happy Crafting
