Foxy Valentine

This is the Valentines card I made for my husband.  It was heavily based on a card made by Gina K in one of her videos.


I used the following for the card:

  • Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 2 and 4, Ornate Frame
  • Gina K Designs - A Paper Hug Stamps and Dies
  • Copic Markers - R24, R32, E21, E23, E25
  • Memento - Tuxedo Black ink
To make the card, the ornate fame was cut from red card stock.  The stitched rectangle and stitched heart were cut from white card stock, with the mats cut from black card stock.  The ornate frame was attached to the white rectangle then attached to the black mat. and added to the card base.  The sentiment was stamped on the white heart, and the heart attached to the mat and the entire piece added to the ornate frame.  The foxes were stamped on white card stock, colored with Copic markers, and die cut.  They were added to the heart with foam squares to add a bit of dimension.  Vinyl dots were added to complete the card.
