papercut heart blue valentine
January 30, 2012 Happy Monday! A pretty valentine and a quasi-tutorial for you.
Apparently I just can't get enough of this made up holiday. The creative fireworks go off at random intervals, and for whatever reason the lastest displays involve a musical twist. Original instructions and template from Martha Stewart.
Supplies & Tools // Two kinds of paper, chipboard (for cutting on), printed template, xacto knife, scissors, and tape.
The process was less tedious than I expected and took under 2 hours. TIP: Spray adhesive can be your best friend or your worst enemy, use with caution. Sadly, I butchered one area of the heart but thankfully it's not that noticable.
I might just frame it. The perfect valentine if you are looking for sweet & sentimental gift on the inexpensive side.
Also, I found a few other templates including carved initials, a pop-up card, and squirrel love.
AND my goal is to do a full week of posts this week. YAY ME!
