| Vintage Valentine Card from Create With Joy |
With just a piece of textured cardstock - a stamp, archival ink, and distresser (optional) - buttons, lace, and glue dots - you can create a beautiful card that's sure to make the recipient feel cherished!
Here are a few tips for creating this Vintage Valentine card:
1. Use a heart-shaped template to line up the buttons. If you don't have one, print one off of the Internet or trace a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
2. Gather a variety of button sizes to shape the heart with ease; I found smaller size buttons work best for this project.

Thanks for sharing your blues.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Joy.
This is just the cutest idea! Now all I have to do is remember where I stashed all my buttons.
ReplyDeletelove your artistic and creative showcase.
ReplyDeletewell done blues.
cheers.
That is just adorable -- I think I may modify it a bit and use with my kids -- let them make Valentine pictures instead of a card -- they like to be able to hang up their work and a picture would give them a bit more room to work since they're younger. I even have lace in our art box -- hmmm. Thanks for the great jumpstart!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower also!
Oh I just love the buttons and lace! Perfect combination!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing in FFA!
