Tag Card made with the Silhouette FREE file - Peace and Love

Hiya, I've made a sweet peace and love card today using the Floral Valentine Tag. The tag, complete with Print and Cut rose is the current free file in the Silhouette Design store.  However, its only free until the early hours of tomorrow morning (Tuesday 14th February, around 07:00 am GMT).

You can find details on how I made the card over on the Silhouette UK Blog, and you'll see that I made this despite having NO pink card in my stash!

An extra work-around was my dark 'pink' glitter paper, for heart and 'pegs'. It wasn't pink AT ALL - just silver glitter paper coloured pink with a Copic Alcohol marker (R39, Garnet). Do you use your alcohol markers for that purpose too?

I have entered this card into the following challenges:
Come and Get It Challenge - Love is in the Air
Glitter N' Sparkle Challenge - #226 Love Is In The Air

Love is in the Air - Valentine Card with the FREE File

Hiya, Today I have made a Valentine's card using this week's FREE file from the Silhouette Design Store - the Love Is In The Air phrase, Design #176413.  I couldn't resist taking it up into the skies!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Silhouette CAMEO® orPortrait®
• White Printable Cardstock
• Grey Heavyweight Pearl Cardstock
• Vellum
• Card Adhesive
• Adhesive Foam Pads
• Glossy Accents or similar
• Silhouette Adhesive Corrugated Paper
• Love Is In The Air file download by Silhouette #176413
• Amazing Plane by Echo Park file download #125012
• Cloud Borders file downloads #2320 #173527

Here are my construction steps:

1. Make a rectangular card base in grey heavy-weight pearl cardstock in the Silhouette Design software.
2. Adhere a large rectangle of white corrugated paper to the card base.
3. In the software set up a Print and Cut page and arrange the plane elements to fit into a white rectangle. Add coloured frames or strips as required.  Add cut lines to the outside of the rectangle.
4. Ungroup the quote and rearrange it to follow the line of the banner.
5. Copy the plane and banner and add cut lines around the outside.
6. Print and then cut out the elements on your Silhouette.
7. Cut cloud borders from vellum (I used regular and pearlised vellum).
8. Adhere the rectangles to the card with card adhesive.
9. Adhere the smaller elements to the card with adhesive foam pads.
10. Adhere the vellum cloud pieces obscuring the adhesive behind decorative strips of card or tuck the ends under the rectangular pieces.
11. Add some glossy accents to the hearts.
12. Card complete!

This makes for a fun valentine card.  You can change out the colours or materials for a more masculine or feminine look.

The Love Is In The Air design is available free in the Silhouette Design store for one week from 30th January 2017.

Technical Alert !! For these photos I've been experiementing with a light box. I'm finding it difficult to getting a nice sharp focus. Apologies if this spoils your viewing. Do you ever have photo problems?
