Die Cut Valentine's Day Cards by Steph
Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with die cut Valentine's Day Cards using handmade papers created with the Arnold Grummer Papermaking Kit.
Are you aware how easy it is to create handmade paper? It's even easier to die cut the papers into a variety of shapes.
Selecting papers from my stash of handmade papers, I couldn't find any that were pink enough for Valentine's Day. Easy enough to remedy though - I just spritzed the paper with Imagine's Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray in Angel Pink. Let the paper dry thoroughly.
Create cards from brown cardstock. Die cut 2 layers of handmade papers. Adhere the larger layers to the cards then wrap the cards with twine. Mat the smaller layers with brown cardstock, then add to the cards with foam adhesives for dimension.
Die cut hearts from the same paper, then die cut the centers. Adhere the large hearts to the right corners of each card. Take the smaller hearts and add them back to the larger hearts with foam adhesives so they stand out.

Die cut "Love" from brown cardstock and add to the cards.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Very pretty cards, Steph! I really like the pink handmade paper against the brown cardstock! :o)
