Hand Made Cards For Valentines' Day

hi everyone,

this is how it looks

i am back finally.. hope my lappy wont give any problem this time.. really hope so... cant tell you how much I missed blogging and you all.. I missed you all damn much.. like i was dying to blog i swear.. hehe.. i know I missed out so many things but i will try to make up with it..hope so ya.. omg i have got so many things to share and I was really confused from where to start, so i thought about doing a post on VALENTINES' DAY.


Many of us just love making greeting cards especially for our bf or hubby or someone very close. me too , i am really fond of making cards and during my courtship i had made few cards for my hubby.. hand made cards have their own charm and are really special. my hubby had no clue that i had made cards for him and he was really happy..so lets not waste much time and lets get started..


i had made 4 cards so lets talk about the first 1 and the things that we require. The card looks like a scroll.


THINGS REQUIRED:


1. OHP sheet, for the ones who doesn't know how it looks like, here's a pic..i don't have a fresh piece right now so i googled it. its easily available in the stationary store.

2. handmade paper( i have used off white, you can use any color you like)
3. sketch pens, i have used red and black
3. a small heart(optional) 

i took it from a teddy

4. glitter tube, blue and silver
5. few stones, and thread anything you have.

all of these i took from few old rakhi

6. stapler
7. glue gun

PROCEDURE:


1.Take a hand made sheet and cut it of the size of an OHP sheet and give the four sides any shape you like, like this
outline the edges first with black sketch pen, then red and then with the blue glitter tube

2. now write the matter inside it and decorate it accordingly and as you like. i have decorated it with hearts.the final thing will look like this. if you all can see my card is about promises to keep.. :)

3. Time to prepare the cover. role the OHP sheet and staple to secure it.
like this and at the sides too. i have stapled it 4 times.

4. now stick the heart in the centre with the help of a glue gun. the glue gun does all the work pretty fast and without any mess. i just cant do without it..
:) 


5. After this stick the flowers to the sides on top of the pins.. the main motive is actually to hide the pins. you can hide the above 2 pins also but that time I could not get any thing so I just decorated it with sketch pen. now outline the edge of both the sides, first with silver and then blue glitter. 

6. after that tie the blue sting to the edge, hope you all can see it in the above pic, and to the strings attach the red hangings. finally decorate the cover with anything you like, I had made small hearts with black sketch pen and filled it with red. 

final thing looks like this

7.Now role the paper neatly to fit the cover like this.

Here's the final thing. hope you all like it. you can use anything and decorate it   as you like. I tried my best to describe the whole procedure, hope I dint miss anything but still if you don't understand anything do comment and let me know.
p.s. if you like it I'll do another post for rest of the cards. But first do let me know..

love ya,
butterfly
