Embossed Swan
Homemade Love Card

by Juliana Twardzik
(Garrettsville, Ohio USA)

I made it for my husband.

Supplies:

• AMACO red foil


• red card stock


• gold patterned paper


• heart ribbon


• swan and valentine's day stamps


• Spellbinders long rectangle die


• Fiskars decorative edger scissors


• red seed beads


• Zig 2 way glue


• Ad Tech double sided adhesive


• hot glue


• Stazon black ink

Procedure:

1. I stamped the swans on the red foil and turned them over and embossed them.


2. I cut them out using the Fiskars decorative scissors.


3. I adhered the gold patterned paper to the red card stock then adhered the ribbon and secured the bow with a glue dot.


4. I used hot glue to adhere the swans.


5. Then I stamped the Valentine sentiment and cut it out with the Spellbinders die.


6. Used 3 seed beads for the hearts and glued them onto the sentiment which I then put on the card.
