DIY - Special card for a special Valentine
For all those who like to make their own Valentine's Day gifts, here is a quick and simple tutorial just for you: a heart card for the man who matters most to you.
Material
- Red varnish with glitter effect
- 303 Permanent Paper Adhesive
- a sheet of white paper (80 mm x 120 mm) 3" x 4 3/4"
- 2 sheets of red paper (150mm x 100mm) 6" x 4"
- a spool of red and white twine
- a key
- a hole punch
- a pair of scissors
Prepare the background of the card
Protect the work surface and then spray the 303 Permanent Paper Adhesive on a piece of scrap paper from (15 cm) 6" away to eliminate the first spray. Then spray the 303, this time on the white sheet of paper.
Position the white sheet of paper on the red one, checking that it is well centered, and dab it firmly.
Prepare the heart
Use a heart-shaped stencil or draw the card design yourself on the remaining piece of red paper and cut it out.
Glitters
Place your cut-out design on a sheet of scrap paper.
Shake the spray can of Odif Red Glitter Varnish.
Spray the varnish evenly over your design from a distance of (20cm) 8" away.
Wait a few minutes for the varnish to dry.
Stick the heart
Turn the heart over and spray the 303 adhesive on the non-glitter side.
Then attach the pattern to the center of the card.
Once the glue dries, fold the card in the middle.
Punch a hole
PUnch a hole on each side of the card.
Tie up
Put a (16 cm) 6 3/8" long piece of string through the hole on the left edge and tie a knot.
Thread the key on one end of the string, then pass the other end of the string through the hole on the right edge of the card and tie a knot.
Et voila !
Your Valentine's card is finished !
