Sending You My Love- Love Me Do Blog Hop Day #3

Welcome to Day 3 of the “Love Me Do” Valentine’s Blog Hop! This week, January 16th-20th, we have a group of 5 talented designers sharing projects with you on their blogs to get you prepared for the upcoming season of love! Whether you use these designs to create something for your loved ones or spring-board off the inspirations given, we would love to see your work as well, so leave a comment on the blogs as you go through.

On January 24th, we will be giving away a collection of goodies from the group to one lucky participant. The giveaway will be hosted through filling out a Google Docs form, here on Live.Teach.Create on January 20th, asking various questions about the posts throughout the week. All those who enter with the correct answers will have a chance to win!

Another Valentine’s card for you today with a different look! I did start with another black base but I took a bit of extra time and pulled out my EK Success Diamond Lace border punch and created the edge on this card. I then measured what was left so I would know what my base needed to be. I used another piece from the Echo Park For The Record Collection {red polka dots} that I used Fired Brick Distress Ink to ink around the edges. I mounted it on a strip of coordinating red cardstock.

Before adhering the cardstock down to the base, I used a piece of silver seam binding {love this stuff} to tie around and hide the seam. I also used my CTMH Say It In Style for the sentiment. I think that this would be perfect for an overseas or deployed Valentine.

I also added a bit of glitz {it doesn’t flake off so safe for soldiers} by drawing the lines down where the border was punched as well as around the border on the red cardstock.

Thanks for joining me today for Day #3 of the “Love Me Do” Valentine’s Blog Hop! Next person in the hop is Jessica of Handmade Cre8ivity. Check back again with me tomorrow as well for another new idea.
