Card Class at LSS

Some Valentine projects that were made at my LSS during my first card class that I attended.

This one was done with diecuts of hearts for the base of the book and smaller ones for the inside. Ribbon wrapped and glued under smaller hearts so that you could tie it closed. Smaller hearts on front were a stamped heart and then cut out and assembled on front with small ribbons tied around each one for decoration. Black paper is from the Black Magic Stacks and sanded so the pink would show around edges. Valentine papers supplied by LSS.

Heart on the left side has a heart tag that slides in and out of the heart pocket. Pages were held together by smaller hearts.

Small tags on left heart are sentiment stamps from Stampin Up and then attached with small bows behind sentiment tags.

These were made also during the class. They're small Valentine cards, measuring 3x3 I believe it was. They supplied the papers and we chose the stamps, punches and assembled to our taste.
