Recently I was cleaning out our "catch-all" drawer in our kitchen, and I found all these keys. What do they open?? Who knows! Of course, you can't throw something like these away. So, I bagged them up with every intention of using them in my crafting. I thought the key incorporated into a sentiment would be a perfect addition to a Valentine's Day card.
I also thought the addition of the key lent itself to a vintage look. For the sentiment,I cut out words from a newspaper, distressed them by tearing and adding some gold metallic speckles. I punched out a heart on the card front using my Heart punch and added another heart punched out of Sending Love Designer Series paper for the inside.
I then added a paper lace border made out of pages from my old dictionary. This is just the latest of the projects I've created using this treasured resource!
Please see the video tutorial below for directions on how to create paper lace.
