I love to use lace cardstock because you can use a little, or a lot.  You can use an entire piece as a background for your layout or cut a small piece and use on a card or gift bag.  There are a variety of companies that make pretty lace cardstock including Martha Stewart and K & Company.  Another way I like to cheat when making cards is to use Bo Bunny paper.  In each collection they usually have a piece of paper that has 4 different 6×6 squares…a great card size.

I used:

Bo Bunny Valentine’s Paper

Die Cut Paper

K&Company Valentine Sticker

Rub-on Alphabet

Pearl Stickers

To make this card:

• Using one of the 6×6 squares from the Bo Bunny paper, adhere to front of 6×6 card base. If you cut a piece of 12×12 cardstock in half this works perfectly. You can then use a Scoring Board to make a perfect crease on the card.
• The larger white flower is part of the patterned paper. Add a blue die cut flower shape to the center.
• Cut two birds from the lace cardstock and adhere to flower die cut.
• Add a 3 dimensional Valentine heart sticker to center of the birds.
• Apply rub-ons to spell sentiment.
• Adhere pearls near sentiment.
