Only Got Eyes For You

This year I went a little bonkers on my valentine's card for the other half. I thought I'd have a go at a card I'd seen on Pinterest. It was a little tricky but I got there.

The first thing to do was to cut the heart in the front piece of card, I used an Xcut heart die to create my aperture.  The next bit was the tricky bit, I had to put the aperture card over the base card to get the perfect shape. Easy-yeah? Nope I had to keep the top card lined up until I had the outside edge created becasue I would have been impossible to lay each eye in place if the top card had been stuck down as I was using foam tape to raise it up.

My eyes were a mix of self adhesive and some that needed to be glued into place aaaaargh!
Finally I added some little self adhesive letters to write 'I only have eyes for you'.
I was pleased with the finished card and my young man thought it was wonderful, so success!

Valentine time

The latest DO Crafts promotion came out earlier this month and has some fantastic items for all sorts of crafters.
This card has been made using the Sew Lovely range.
The backing paper is from the Sew Lovely 12x12 paper stack and the buttons are from the big bag of buttons that comes in this range.
The card was really easy to make because the paper has a heart printed on it, so all I had to was fill it with red buttons.
I then mounted this onto cream card and in turn mounted this onto another piece of red paper from the 12x12 stack.
I added the words using alphabet stickers in red.
So first Valentine's card of the year made in January, quite cute if I do say so myself.
