52 Reasons I Love You

I completed my Valentine's gift for Stephen. I am soooooo excited to give it to him!

I found this idea off of Pinterest. Technically, this is my first "Pinterest Project" and I'd say it was quite successful! This is such a unique, special gift that includes 52 different reasons why I love my husband. Some reasons are silly and some are serious, but they are all about him! I found the idea here.

Supplies:

A deck of cards (preferably red if for Valentine's Day)

2 Book rings

Single hole puncher

A Sharpie or red maker

Labels (Card stock/paper would work too)

Sand paper

Red ink pad

Paper towels

Glue 

Steps:

1. Remove cards from deck and sand the top of each card. 

2. Rub one card at a time over the ink pad. After smearing ink on it, wipe card on paper towel to spread around and wipe off excess. This will give the card more of a worn, used look.

3. Punch two holes in one of the jokers (the other joker will be the front cover) to use as a template for the rest. Then punch holes in the rest of the deck. I was able to punch through two cards at a time easily. 

4. Write your "reasons" on 52 individuals labels or trimmed pieces of paper. Then peel & stick or glue onto cards one at a time.

5. Place both rings in their holes then place joker bottom up on top.

6. Decorate a cover. Give to your sweetie! Would make a great present for any occasion, not just Valentine's Day.
