Valentine Day Card Tic Tac Toe


I used the Silhouette Cameo to produce most of this card

Red hearts:  Silhouette print and cut
Black lines around hearts: Silhouette black sketch pen feature
Writing & XOX:  Silhouette black sketch pens
Background card stock in black and white:  Cut to exact size with the Silhouette Cameo

Add some washi tape and bakers twine with a flat back button onto a kraft card and you have a cute Valentines Day Card.

Even the button was a print & cut and sketch pens before the circle was cut to fit into the button machine.
