{Tutorial: Valentines using paints}

With Valen­tine days com­ing up, I wanted a fun card to make that would be eas­ily mass-produced with some kid help. My girl is totally into paints these days, so I thought of a card that says “love” and also uses up some old alpha­bet stickers.

I cut out the alpha­bets I needed from an old sticker sheet. I just need the plas­tic under­neath the stick­ers to cre­ate a mask of my own.

Then using some Remov­able Glue Dots® I adhered these onto the card. I ended up cut­ting a few dots in half for some of the del­i­cate ends of the alphabets.

Next I squirted some cop­per craft paint onto a soft cloth and pat­ted the cloth gen­tly onto the card. I also added a hint of red paint onto the card.

I waited a few min­utes for the paint to dry and then care­fully peeled off the let­ter masks.

To fin­ish of the card I adhered a felt flower and a sequin using some micro Glue Dots®!

I wrote this blog post while par­tic­i­pat­ing on the Glue Dots® design team. You can also see this tuto­r­ial at their web­site by click­ing here.

Thanks for stop­ping by today!
