I know Valentine’s Day has passed, but I wanted to make a special card for a friend of mine who is going through some rough times. She is an avid Coca-Cola collector, and I knew she’d appreciate a Thinking of you card made with Coke cans. I used my Big Shot and a Sizzix Hearts die to cut out the hearts from two Coke cans. The big heart was cut from a Coke can that is promoting the Olympics, so there is a snowboarder on the can. It was a little tricky cutting out the heart around this figure. So instead, I added the plain silver heart (the inside of the can) right over the snowboarder. The smaller heart was cut out of a Christmas Coke can that had a picture of Santa Claus and snowflakes.
I used my new Pinking Hearts border punch on the silver mat. I need more practice punching a square. Please excuse the rough corners!
One of the things I like about using the Pinking Hearts border punch is all the little hearts that are cut out. Here is my pile of leftover little silver hearts. I added them as confetti to the inside of the card. I know, I know. When she opens the card, she’ll have a confetti heart mess, but I couldn’t resist!
