QUICKIE VALENTINE'S DAY PROJECTS

It's Valentine's Day on Sunday! And I expect some of you are in a mad panic re cards, so here are a couple of quickie ideas for you.

They were put on the blog last year, but I think they're worth repeating. Vary your stamps (or collage images) to suit.

LOOSE-LEAF ORGANISER: 
This could also be a notebook or journal cover, or a card (just change the wording).

• This was done very simply using deep pink acrylic paint mixed with white, then a little overstamping as a background detail using Magenta's Dragonfly stamp and Brilliance Orchid Pink ink.
• The picture is a little reproduction cigarette card, mounted to deep rose card and fixed with photo corners.
• The rose and the letters are stickers.

CARD: A nice, easy monochrome image.

How I did it:

• I used just one inkpad throughout: Brilliance ink in Starlite Black.
• The background is the huge trefoil stamp (stamped twice onto white car): Weathered Textiles by Tim Holtz.
• The main image is also stamped onto white card, then torn round 3 of the edges and ink rubbed on straight from the pad.
• I punched two holes at top and bottom left-hand side and threaded fibres through, then used double-sided tape to stick to the background.
• The text is made up from individual unmounted ransom-style letters.

NOTE: Any romantic image or photo would work for the main image.
