3 Simple Heart Card Ideas

You remember this post?




Here are the pics and simple steps on how to make them

First is the Crayon resist heart card..
1. take a glossy card 4x6
2. Take various coloured crayons and randomly draw thick heart outlines ..
3. Colour them in with yellow crayons
4. Dip a sponge in a watered down colour.. we used orange tempera colour.
5. lightly rub over the card in horizontal strokes .. The crayon will resist paint.
6. Let dry

We made lots of random icecream cards that open to reveal a heart .  Please see  Esther's icecream idea... and Ayesha's  Heart Bouquet Card the inspiration behind this craft.
1. Take a printout of a icecream cone on a plain sheet of paper..
2. fold the paper along one edge of the icecream cone.
3. Cut out the icecream shape being careful not to cut the folded edge.
4. Open to reveal a heart..
5. Colour away - we made strawberry icecream cones with strawberry toppings, Butterscotch with chocolate sprinkles & dark chocolate with a cherry on top
6. Write your message inside.. and gift it to your kiddie friends.



We love to spray paint with a toothbrush..  For this simple card,
1. We cut little paper hearts and placed them flat on a 6x4 card.
2. Then we made a slightly watery concoction of dark pink acrylic colour ( I love using acrylic colour for spray painting as its more localized and dries faster ) ..
3. spray away..
4. wait for it to completely dry before lifting the little hearts
