I am getting a jump start on my Valentines. I am using the Garden Butterflies and Bee die from our Black Friday release for this fun little block card.

Design Steps: (Here is a link to a video that I used to make the base https://www.pinterest.com/pin/443534263317816376/ )

1. Start with a piece of white card stock measuring 10 x 6 3/4. Score at 3, 4 1/2, 6, 7 1/2

2. Fold the flap back along the 6 inch score. Place a ruler at the bottom along the fold and use a pencil to mark small dots at 1/2, 1 3/4, 2, 3 1/4, 3 1/2, 4 3/4, 5, 6 1/2

3. Place your card into a paper cutter and cut from the dots to the closest score line as shown above

4. When you have completed the cuts fold as shown below

5. Using the Honeycomb Background Slimline cut 2 pieces in white: 6 1/2 x 2 3/4 and 6 1/2 x 2 1/4. Using a blending brush and a pink ink to add some color to both pieces.

6. Using the same pink ink place some of the ink onto a acrylic block and then add a little water. Pick up the ink with a brush. Hold the brush over the place you want splattered and gently tap the brush with your finger

7. Cut 6 pieces of pink card stock 1 1/4 x 1. Glue the pink rectangles to the card as shown above

8. Using the following dies and card stock colors: Garden Butterflies and Bee black and yellow, Fancy Heart pink, Be My Valentine Puppies red glitter card stock and Stitched Alphabet black
