Spidery Valentine's Card

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. For today's project, I created a Valentine's card using a Halloween released product, the Kat Scrappiness Creepy Crawly Dies. I also created a Christmas card using this product, Spidery Christmas Card. Do check it out, if you have time.

I started off by die cutting the spider web die on black cardstock. I created a heart frame on a red cardstock. I am using a heart die from my stash that when die cut, has floral details on the center. I trimmed the center off to leave me with the frame. You don't have to do it this way. If you have a heart frame die, then that's easy peasy! Or you can use two nesting hearts dies if that is what you have in your stash. In case you don't have any of these products, I linked below a product from Kat Scrappiness that you can use to create a heart frame.

The web die cut comes with stitching details which I used as a guide to poke stitching holes. I stitched a metallic red floss through these holes. 

I adhered this to the back of the heart frame, making sure that it covers most of the heart frame. I set this aside to dry, leaving something heavy on top of it. Once the glue has dried, I snipped off the excess web sticking out of the heart frame. 

I added black Stickles to the heart frame for some texture. 

For the spiders, I die cut the large sized spider on light brown and peach cardstocks. I snipped off the web string. I die cut the spider on white cardstock also but I will only use the eyes on these die cuts. I adhered a piece of tape to the back of the colored spider die cuts. I pieced in the white spider eyes die cuts making sure the embossed dot is positioned with one pair looking towards the left and the other pair looking towards the right. I added a dot on the eyes using a Sakura Glaze black pen. I also added blush on the female spider's cheeks.

Now is the fun part. I dressed up the spiders. For the male spider, I added a die cut hat and a flower. For the female spider, I added a bow and a heart. 

For the sentiment, I stamped a sentiment on a pink banner die cut using a red dye ink. I die cut the word forever on pink patterned paper. I die cut two extra pieces so I can stack the die cuts to create more dimension.

For the card panel, I trimmed a red patterned paper at 4" x 5 1/4". I die cut falling hearts to the middle of the panel using a die. I adhered this to a pink patterned paper cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

I adhered the banner using foam adhesive on the top of the card panel. I adhered the webbed heart next then the sentiment die cut after. I made sure to give enough time for the liquid glue to dry especially on the webbed heart before adding the spiders.

I adhered the spiders with foam adhesive. I added gems to the bow and the flower. I added Glossy Accent to the heart. I set this aside to dry.

I adhered this to a top folding A2 note card.

I hope you like this non-traditional Valentine's card I created. I always look into extending the use of my craft products to make the most of it. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
