Lavender Valentine Card

A rubber stamp project designed by: Barbara Swanson

Skill Level: Beginner

Is there anything more romantic than a handmade Valentine card? Whether it's for your sweetie, your puppy, or your favorite niece, you can whip up this card in no time, but it will look like you bought it in a stationery boutique! It features a layered look for more dimension.

Materials:

• lilac card base  (or your choice of paper)
• white cardstock with scalloped edges  (or your choice of paper)
• lavender cardstock with purple rubber-stamped flower background (or your choice of paper)
• rubber stamped heart with scalloped edge  (or your choice of heart stamp)
• Iron-on 1/8" ribbon in 6500 Hydrangea in bows on the heart
• home iron or craft iron
• Kreinik adhesive press cloth

Instructions:

If your iron isn't non-stick or Teflon coated, we recommend that you get one of our Adhesive Press Cloths. It will keep the adhesive in the thread from sticking to your iron. They come in various sizes. Apply to a cool iron. 

1. Cut your white cardstock to fit onto your card base and attach with Treasure Tape or glue.

2. Stamp a design on the lavender cardstock and glue or tape it on the white scalloped cardstock.

3. Stamp your heart image onto another piece of white cardstock and cut the edges with your scalloped scissors. Attach onto your stamped lavender cardstock as desired.

4. Lay a piece of iron-on ribbon leading from the edge of the scalloped paper to your heart. Lay the thread at the starting point, cover with the teflon press cloth, and press for several seconds until the thread adheres. Continue laying the iron-on thread in bows and curls as desired.
