Just because they're ever so fun, I'm back with nine more mini Valentines, pocket letter style. They were up on
Hip Kit Club's Facebook page on Saturday and inspired by the
January 2020 Main,
Pocket Life, and
Embellishment Kits; but I thought that I'd share all the details in their making, for all of my faithful followers, here. Enjoy!
All of my card fronts are made from pocket cards, trimmed down
to 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" and backed with white cardstock to create an inside and place to etch a little message.
Let's get a little up close and personal. Shall we?
This pocket card was topped with a "YOU WON MY HEART" foam, accent sticker, embellished with a simple, floral, paper die cut and accented with puffy "XOXO" stickers. A little Glossy Accents, for the heart, embedded in the pocket card, completes the look.
Moving across the top row and on to the second card...
a strip of silver, glitter tape, wrapped three times with white string, tied, in a bow, near the top of the card face...
creates the backdrop for the fussy-cut, cell phone, which was topped with a puffy, "Happy" sticker; given a kiss of shine with Glossy Accents; and popped up with foam tape.
A "HOPE YOU'LL BE MINE" foam, accent sticker sets the stage, on the third card...
for the row of hearts die cut, topped with a puffy, "adore" sticker. A little Glossy Accents gives the nail polish shine.
The first card in the center row...
was topped with a portion of a Polaroid die cut, as well as floral ephemera; foam, accent sticker; and a fussy-cut shamrock. A trio of glitter, enamel dots completes the look.
Another Polaroid...
filled with floral ephemera, embellished with a chipboard, heart
pennant and trio of glitter, enamel dots, is the highlight of the center
card.
A "LOVE YOU MORE" die cut creates the sentiment.
The third and final card in the center row was made exactly like the middle card in the top row...
with the exception of the phone having a double dose of Glossy Accents in place of the puffy, "Happy" sticker.
Moving on to the bottom row, the first card is my absolute fave of the whole bunch.
A chipboard Polaroid frames the "TODAY is great" tag, laced with white string, tied in a bow, as well as the floral ephemera, popped up with foam tape. A little Glossy Accents adds just the right amount of shine to the black, chipboard, "this" heart to complete the look.
The bottom, center card was topped with a puffy, heart Polaroid...
filled in with floral ephemera...
and a "STAY CLOSE TO THOSE WHO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE sunshine", die-cut sentiment. A trio of glitter, enamel dots complete the look.
The ninth and final card was topped with a "to the SWEETEST", foam, accent sticker, backed with a paper, days of the week die-cut, wrapped with white string, tied in a bow.
A trio of glitter, enamel dots, as well as lots of Pure Black and Titanium White, acrylic paints, splattered throughout all of the designs, just for a little, added texture and interest, give this pocket letter its finishing touches.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a fantastic week, friends!
