Take one good friend, some good food, and a festive place to enjoy it all and what do you have? A simple cure for the winter blahs, bad work day, stress, etc. That is exactly what I did today. No creative fixes today, I apologize. Dr. Bresette-Yates and I did purchase some sad little items looking for a new life, but unfortunately they did not get their second chance yet. I needed a little R&R.
No worries though, cause it is time to get a ScrapFix!
I was planning on making a card for my DH for Valentines day. The idea was to trace my hands onto some heavy paper or cardstock and have a dimensional heart inside the card that would pop out when he opened it. "I will give you my heart!"
With the BasicGrey Pheobe collection in hand I set about my task. I traced my hands onto a folded piece of BG paper and carefully cut on the lines. I tore another paper to create the cuff at the bottom and hit the edges with some distress ink. "B Mine" was created using the alpha stickers from BG. I added the paper ring for an extra touch.
Inside, I hit the entire card with more distress ink. I continued the cuff on the inside to add a little extra something. Here is the fun part. Oh Martha, Martha, Martha you evil woman you! I managed to track down the way cool honeycomb paper used in your Christmas issue last year. It took a little time to figure out just how to cut it, but I did it. I shaped it a little by trimming the center of the heart down. A little double stick tape holds the heart in place, and voila, one fun, unique handmade card for my DH.
