52 reasons why I love you...

Valentine's day is just around the corner and I tough what a perfect time to make my lover a cute gift that shows how much I appreciate him even tho he is soo far away! Lucky girl I am he will be home for the holiday, so I can't wait to see his reaction when I give it to him.

Before you start, you need to make a list of 52 reasons why you love your man. Try to come up with the "reasons" on your own, your lover will like it even more.


You will need:
-Deck of cards
-Pack of vanilla cardstock
- Red (glitter) scrapbook page
-Tim Holtz rings
- Scissors
-Double sided tape
-Hole puncher (not in the picture).

 1. I used the "George and Basic Shapes" Cricut cartridge to cut 53, 2" rectangles from the vanilla card stock. However, you do not need a Cricut machine to make this cutie, you can just use scissors and a ruler to make your rectangles. I also cut a 2.5'' rectangle and a heart from the red glitter card stock.

2. I then passed every single one of those rectangles in my printer to print the "reasons" on the card stock. You can also write your "reasons" with a marker, it makes it even more personal.

3. I used double sided tape to stick my rectangles onto the playing cards.

4. Then I used a single hole punch to make two holes on each card. A little trick is to use the extra cards that comes with the pack to align your holes perfectly and then use that card as a pattern  to make the holes on all the other cards by placing it on top of your other playing card

5. Finally, I just slid all the cards in the ring and added a few decorations to it. And it's that simple!
