More Mini Valentine Cards...

Hi there! I have 3 more Valentine's mini cards to share with you. You may remember the one on the far left from a few weeks ago.

Each card is 3x3 inches & has a white space inside for writing love notes. For the ones that have stitching on the front, I lined the inside cover to hide my mess :)

Here's a little break down of how I made each one:

For the arrow on this card, I started by punching 2 holes for the main part of the arrow. Using a needle & twine, I double stitched the straight line & then punched more holes & stitched the point. I moved to the back & punched 4 holes & made the tail of the arrow. Last I added a stamp & sticker to complete the look.
This 4 hearts card was inspired by the card on the cover of the current issue of Scrapbooks Etc. For the hearts I used the technique from the u+me=♥ card. So far that's one of my favorite ways to use twine :)
And last, this little XO card. The X was super easy, just punch 4 holes & connect the dots. I stitched 3 layers on this one. For the O- I used the sticky side of a letter sticker, started at the bottom outside edge, & wrapped the twine around until the whole sticker was covered.


Well, I hope I've inspired you a little bit today :)
Have a great day & give these techniques a try!
Stephanie
