Stamp coated chipboard letters with Staz On ink (it won't smear on coated surfaces). Rub on flourishes add an elegant finishing touch.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifFw_OBduUIcJluguyqIiF3YR3z1bhi5Kdvq_Ssw4obpTg0671EfJMVIqU8Dclf__wAxkwkmjxMC3JS0AKpmj2ZNRJ5KTNGjqd0prWssKhBX7xGBnV_wyMVS8jOHu4YMTf2zXUtB-f8kc/s1600/DIY-Easy-Romantic-Handmade-Valentine's-Day-Cards-2014-Ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><b>Design by Patricia Anderson : </b>Use pages intended as mini-book inserts to create an original card. Join the pages with ribbon, and accent the blank sheets with soft curves of patterned paper. Purchased chipboard phrases spell out the sentiment, and a shaped chipboard piece packed with a stamped transparency is a simple graphic.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAraIHHDYKcDnXH3ldxIsAlbPyg8aOjl0NohgEFpLll7zBurCCz00s7yMCU4UcaNlD7x77Rt7grqak52X-UJQOGjUblM_upAsHA9OMO29IdELNBCUEodgUX5XsmXjVeQGtLJCLJxL8LVs/s1600/DIY-Easy-Romantic-Handmade-Valentine's-Day-Cards-2014-Ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><b>Design by Patricia Anderson : </b>Create a card with visual depth by punching a window in the center and backing it with a piece of transparency. Stamp on the clear film, or use a preprinted version for more interest. A soft curve cut into the patterned paper and simple machine stitching around the edges add oomph.<br /><br /></div>
