February Club - Building Block Cards & SUO Challenge #115 Valentine Wishes

Valentine Building Card

This is the first of the cards my club will make on Wed.  It also my version of the SUO Challenge #115 Valentine Wishes.  See the link on the right column of my blog if you want to play along.

SUPPLIES:
sets - Petite Pairs, retired caligraphy alphabet (could substitute Sophisticated Serifs in the Occasions catalog)
cs - real red, whisper white, early espresso, blushing bride, red glimmer paper
ink - early espresso pad
access - big shot and happy hearts TIEF, 8" real red stitched grossgrain ribbon, dimensionals
punches - scallopped tag topper, sweet heart, itty bitty accents punch pack

It's hard to see in my photo, but I've textured the whole front blushing bride piece, the left bb inside piece but only the bottom of the bb right inside piece.  That way there's some place to write your message.

SUPPLIES:
sets - Painted Petals, And Many More, retired caligraphy alphabet (could substitute Sophisticated Serifs in the Occasions catalog)
cs - soft sky, whisper white, wild wasabi
ink - wild wasabi and daffodil delight pads
access - big shot and spring flowers TIEF, 6" painted blooms cotton twine (wild wasabi), dimensionals
punches - scallopped tag topper, word window and modern label

Again, I didn't texture with the spring flowers on the right inside piece so there would be some place to write a message.

This is a "z-fold" type of card.  I saw a tutorial on SCS for a building block card a year ago and have wanted to make it ever since.  They have a great tutorial and video, so I won't try to recreate it.

Here are a few ideas for the greetings on the blocks (any 4 or 3 letter word works well):

• BABY GIRL
• BABY BOY
• LOVE YOU
• WITH LOVE
• GET WELL
• NOEL/JOY
• GOOD JOB
• WELL DONE
• BDAY GIRL
• BDAY BOY
• EAT CAKE
• WISH BIG

Happy Stamping!  Mary
