Me too! I know that those of you affected by a paper addiction, will agree that card making for Valentine’s day is a MUST. Buying from the store? Nah. I have always loved playing with paper and getting crafty making my personalized card designs, way to much to just BUY one. You don’t need to be a super talented artist to d-i-y a card, as the secret recipe involves only a little bit of creativity and love. No rocket science, I promise. This year my “You have my ♥” design involves also a little interaction so you can watch your ‘second half’ open the magic box! Feeling a little bit romantic now? 🙂
2. Match box
3. Double sided tape
4. Pastel and neon masking tapes – different patterns
5. Words print-outs – different fonts (YOU/HAVE/MY)
6. Pieces of white paper + colorful paper + flower cut-outs
7. Pink, decorative string
8. Toothpick
9. Black pen/ paint / crayon
10. Scissors
Pocket/Box :
Step 1 Place and wrap a double-sided tape around the matchbox
Step 2 Cut out pieces of white paper and place around the matchbox
Step 3 Decorate the box with colorful masking tapes and flower cut-outs
Card
Step 1 Place a double-sided tape on the matchbox and stick it to the card
Step 2 Make two holes on both sides of the box and put the string through them.
Step 3 Then wrap the string around the box and make a knot on the other side of the card
Step 4 Decorate the edges of the card with masking tapes
Step 5 Using double sided-tape seal the word cut-outs with the pieces of colorful paper and then with the card.
Step 6 Decorate edges of the words with yellow neon paper.
Step 1 Color a toothpick using black pen/paint/crayon
Step 2 Color white paper black using black pen / paint / crayon
Step 3 Cut out two triangles of the same size for an arrowhead
Step 4 Place double-sided tape on both triangles
Step 5 Place one triangle on a flat surface, then place a toothpick on top of it.
Step 6 Gently place the second triangle on top of the toothpick sealing them together
Step 7 Repeat the same steps for the arrow ends but now using different shape
Step 8 Once they are sealed together, cut a v-shape in the bottom edge, and trim it.
Step 9 Attach the arrow to the card using masking tape.
