Great Big Greetings for Valentines Day

Hi!  Welcome to my blog.  Today, I’ve got a Great Big Greetings for Valentines Day masculine card to share with you.  It woke me up at 4:00 a.m.  You see, last night I had pulled out a couple of things I thought I might like to create with this morning.  At 4:00 a.m., my brain was on overdrive creating this card.  So, I had to get up and make it.  I really do love when it’s kind of made in my head before I start!  Though usually, I’m just playing along to see where I end up.

Great Big Greetings for Valentines Day

My Valentine’s Day card for him is full of texture!

Both visual and actual.

I started with a Dapper Denim cardstock base.

Then, I added a Very Vanilla layer stamped with Hardwood in Dapper Denim.

Over that layer is a piece of Wood Textures designer paper.

Next, I cut a Layering Circle and ran it through the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Embossing Folder.

Tip: Spritz the cardstock with alcohol first.  The damp cardstock will stretch in the folder more easily.  And, the alcohol will dry quickly and not leave a watermark.

Over the embossed circle are pieces of Corduroy and Burlap Ribbons.

Then, I added my favorite distressed heart from Sure Do Love You.

For the focal image, I stamped a sentiment from Great Big Greetings.

Then, I cut it out with the Tailored Tag Punch.

Next, I used my Fine Tip Glue Pen to outline the heart

before heat embossing in gold.

I decided to leave the “fly away” bits of embossing powder on.

They add another bit of distressed look.

Before attaching the focal image with Stampin’ Dimensionals,

I added a few loops of Linen Thread for even more texture.
