Valentine’s Day is only a week away in the U.S. and since Valentine’s Day is a big occasion for papercrafting…after all, the doily paper heart is a staple for homemade cards to give to your loved one. To that end, I’ll be posting each day for the next week to help blanket the interwebs with paper love.
Today’s project features the Share a Milkshake Bundle, and two stamping techniques that are perfect for Valentine’s — the kissing technique and adding embellishments with gilded leafing. Let’s take a look:
The three milkshake glasses are decorated with patterns that came from stamps from the stamp set. Ink up the glass in a light color and while still wet, apply whatever stamp you want to use to make a pattern (from left to right: greeting, hearts trio, straw stripes) using a darker ink color. Stamp that stamp directly onto the glass stamp, give it a huff, and then stamp on your paper. So much fun! I know the greeting is backwards, but it’s still fun!
Then for the 2nd technique, I cut hearts out of foam adhesive sheet. Adhere to the card, peel off the top peeling, and then add your gilded leafing — so much fun! Using the waffle dies of this bundle, I also added gilded leafing to that as well.
Love it — and also like the nontraditional purple.
Happy Love Week! Kelly
