keyboard card
valentine’s day 2011 was our second as a married couple. it was a great one… even if i busted a candy thermometer, while attempting to make funnel cakes.
we had a great time all weekend and celebrated the official day with a shrimp pasta dish. (coming soon!) tom thinks that valentine’s day is celebrated everyday at our house. i think he’s right.
i made him a card. it wasn’t pink or flowery or covered with hearts or glitter. it’s tom. i created a cardstock keyboard fashioned after his macbook , with a romantic twist. here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 sheet 12″ x 12″ blue card stock, for card
- 1 sheet 12″ x 12″ grey card stock, for keyboard base
- 1 sheet 12″ x 12″ black card stock, for keys
- silver pen
- sharpies
- adhesive runner
- corner rounder
- ruler
- paper trimmer
- use a paper trimmer to cut strips of black card stock into 3/4″ strips and cut the strips into various sizes for keys.
- letter the keys, using a silver pen and attach to grey card stock. omit i,l,o,v,e and u. trim the card stock around the keyboard and round the corners.
- fold the blue card stock in half and attach the grey keyboard to the front.
- attach remaining keys inside of the card. personalize as you’d like to.
- give card to the love of your life.
Love it!
