Today I was inspired by my friend Lauren who was channeling her "Inner Martha" (exactly which Martha is still open for debate). I decided to check out the Martha Stewart website to see what inspiration I could find. I loved the look of these Hand-Stitched Valentines, but immediately thought I knew an easier way to achieve a very similar effect.
I started with the leftovers on my work table from my Scenic Route Thanks card (Chocolate Chip cardstock and Scenic Route DP). I used my Martha Stewart heart punch to punch four hearts from the DP, and rather than hand-stitch, I stapled each heart and then bent up the sides for a bit of dimension.
What a quick and easy card. I love the the simple clean lines with a little touch of whimsy ... not to mention that I used up some leftovers. Finished dimensions are 4 1/4" square to fit in a regular envelope.
what?? you mean there were no cool valentine card ideas on the MATHA REEVES' website??! :)
(hahaha! you totally made me laugh...and also...i LOVE this card!)
