Saving Love Notes

Posted by Allie Gower on Jan 1st 1970

I made a fun cover for a envelope filled with LOVE quotes.

Some of these I find online, some I cut out, some I hear or read.

I am always finding loving words of wisdom, and I wanted a pretty way to store them.

I store this on my bulletin board, right in front of me at my craft table,

just like it's shown below!

I started by attaching a piece of patterned paper [Graphic 45]

to some recycled chipboard cut from a cereal box and distressed it with

a sanding tool [Bazzill] and some brown ink [Close to My Heart]

and added some crepe ribbon [Creative Impressions]

and a button [Buttons Galore].

I attached the button with some floral wire through two holes in the grunge paper.

I die cut the heart using Spellbinders dies, and the cut shape

which I embellished with Pink Heart Nestabling.

I added some flowers [gift from my friend, Trudy Sjolander]

using Beacon's 3-in-1 adhesive [Buttons Galore],

I LOVE Bling, and too much is never enough.

I colored the beautiful Chipboard Dress Form with a Copic Marker

and painted it with some Liquid Glass [Close to My Heart],

then quickly dusted it with some glitter [Donna Salazar].

I want to say a special thanks to Donna for providing this

in one of our Design Team packages. It's neat stuff,

and comes in a salt shaker - brilliant!

Underneath, I adhered some patterned paper [Authentique].

The LOVE is also colored with a Copic Marker, and embellished with Baby Bling - Brown.

Thank you for making us a part of your day.
