Do you find it difficult to make Valentines for guys? I do. Every year I make Valentines for each of my family members (4 daughters, their husbands, 2 sons, their wives, 5 granddaughters, 7 grandsons). The grandsons aren't too much of a problem, although one is a teenager now, but I do find it hard to make cards for my sons and SIL's. It is different when making one for your husband because you can be more sentimental but I don't want to be too "smoochy" with the other men in my life. Anyway, a long intro to say that this is one of the cards I came up with. Because of time restraints this year, I am breaking tradition and making this one for all the guys. I usually make each card different for each individual.
The sketch is at Stamploration
My Washi tape doesn't get much attention but that is what I used behind the sentiment cutout. The sentiment is actually a SVG file that I printed but did not cut. It is cut out with a DIe-namic Stitched Rectangle. The little hearts are from a Verve Stamp set.
