 Hi everyone, Mary at Espresso Press Design. Welcome. It's time for another create with me and today it is Valentine card kit. Be my Valentine. I'm going to go through the kit, print it on plain paper. This is the card I've already assembled, the horizontal card and there is the hidden pocket and this is the inside of the card and all of this comes in the kit minus the card base. Today I'm going to, here is the design that's in the kit example. Today I'm going to assemble the vertical card and this is the example in the kit. You will need an 8.5 by 11 I printed mine on cream and you will cut this at on the 11 inch side at 5.5 and then you will score it at 4.25 and that will give you your vertical or horizontal card base. So that's not included. That's what you'll need to create the kit. Create the card. This is the last page. You'll need your borders and I used this little one in the horizontal card. These are some free templates. If you don't desire to create a heart to tuck in there you can create a tag and it will fit in that pocket. So that's the last page. This is your sentiment page and by the way this kit has a lot of extras. There were just so many extra little things that went with the card design that I just put them in there and those are just free for you to use however you desire and of course you can use any kit however you desire. I forgot to put it on this page but these are your sentiments that you can use for inside the card and in this one I use the sentiment. I also made these so that if you're not comfortable with fussy cutting a heart you can keep them as a square and they will still tuck in the pocket. In addition if you desire to put on the inside of the card to write a handmade sentiment, handwritten sentiment, there are journal cards and you can just use one of the journal cards in the vertical card. They'll just fit in the horizontal card so that would work better in the vertical card if you use the journal cards to write a handwritten sentiment. So there's journal cards. These are all extras. These are your card bases for inside the card. They are everything is proportional to card design. As you can see I use the blue one inside this card. These are your front card bases. You can barely see it on this one but I use this one for this card base. So you have four choices for your card bases and these are all extras. There's another card base. These are all extras. Here is your horizontal main image. I use this one. This is an extra and here are your vertical card images and I'm going to use this one today because I want to keep it as close to the photo as possible. This tutorial will be going up on Etsy. So I have all of my everything cut out that you will need for the card. Some little extras here. One little extra thing that I did was punch out a little heart. So I'm just going to keep this here from my reference. These are all the extras. I have those all cut out too. I'll show those at the end. So let me get my base. Which one did I use? My image. Everything to the side here that I'm not going to use. There's another image. I printed these on cream. Card stock by the way. I use that one and for this I'll just be needing a little heart. Now it's here somewhere I hope. I have both those cut out and I think I will use this. This is the one I used and the sentiment I used was this one. I'll keep that out to show you how you can layer that if you desire. And where's my other little heart? I need that. Use this on the inside. Okay I'm missing a heart. I'll just use a circle. Oh there it is. Tucked under there. Okay. And a little snippet of border. Put these to this side so I don't lose them. Okay first I'm going to put down my base and that gets glued completely. The pocket is actually your image. Make sure I'm in. Let me burnish this a little better. I'm going to glue down our base. You can use glue. You can use double-sided tape, whatever you desire. You can hold this up here. Make sure I get everything straight. Then this keeps a tiny little border and remember you're just going to go around three sides because you want this side to be a pocket. So keep your thumb there. Try to stay as close to the edge as possible and then that retains a tiny little border and then I just make a little heart on there but I don't want it to interfere with my pocket so I'm just going to glue it to the card base. Just thought I'd add a little something. Embellishment of course is up to you. Be careful there that I don't cover my my Valentine there. And then for this one I just made a little bow so that you could tell there is something in there to take out. You could write a little note on there if you desire. Okay so I don't know if I'm going to do that part or not. So the inside we have our base. I chose the red and I began using my trimmer to cut these out and then it was just easier just to cut everything out by hand. And I think for Valentine's it's appropriate to cut everything out by hand. Makes it look more handmade. That was in the center and here is an example if you want to use the journal card instead. If you want to layer more on top of your journal card you can. If you want to take, let me see if I have an appropriate little cut-apart here. Probably don't have a small enough one in here. I want to take one of those little cut-aparts and layer it even further. Make some little design like that. You can do that as well. It's up to you. But I'm just going to go by the design that will be on Etsy. This tutorial will be on Etsy. However it's, this kit is free to everyone who watches the video. I don't think I said that and it's a lot of fun. It's pretty large for a free kit but Valentine's Day is kind of like Christmas. You can use your lines on the base. Keep everything nice and straight if you're not comfortable doing things like that. This I think, I think I'd like to turn that into a little fishtail and then let me make sure my heart is going to get to there. Of all the fair and fragrant flowers that in Life's Garden grow, there is none that's half so sweet as you and I like you ever so. Very cute. I thought this, I thought this little design was so whimsical and cute and it had so much possibility. That's why I chose it as my starting point for this kit and it gave me a chance to work with red. I love red. Okay, there is card number two. I guess I'll just pop a little, where are we? 18. 18. Pop a little hole in there. I'll close it. It'll work. I'll just create a little hang tank here. So of course embellishing how you embellish is up to you. Let's see if I have enough room to tie a little bow. Enough string I mean. Tie a little bow there and then that is going to tuck in and there is card number two and there is the horizontal. Okay, whatever else you desire to put on there. I thought if I had to use the little circle I might need another little heart but I don't. So there's the vertical, there's the horizontal, there's the inside with the sentiment and there is the inside with the sentiment. Maybe I forgot to put something on there. Let's see where my design go. No, that's how it is. Okay, so these are all, these are everything that's in the kit. I didn't cut apart everything. Journal cards, all bases. You have several choices for your bases. You have more than one choice for your image. These are all the extras including your your large square with all of your cut-aparts and your templates. So again if you would just like to take that tag, use it as a template, use one of your designs, it will fit. If you want to make additional hearts, it will fit. So it's a lot of fun. All kinds of little things. I didn't cut apart all my borders. A lot of fun and it's free just for hopefully liking, subscribing, and sharing my YouTube channel. And there's another, some other little borders, pretty little sentiment. These are all extras. You can use however you desire. Okay, 23. I think that was, I hope that tutorial was self-explanatory enough. But if you have any minimal experience with card making, I'm sure you can do it. It's very easy and you saw how fast it actually was. And again if you're not comfortable cutting out fussy cutting the heart, you can just tuck it in there as a square. And it should still fit. I'm sure it will fit. And if you prefer to use a tag, make a tag instead. You can make a tag. Okay, thank you for stopping by. Don't forget the download link will be as a PDF in the description. And have a fun day making your little valentines. Talk to you soon. Bye!
