This year I decided to make some cards for Valentine's Day.
I started off with a few heart buttons and some red and white paper.
I drew a heart on the white paper (which has hearts on it)
and arranged the buttons around and glued them on.
And added some buttons to the corners.
I added some hearts and edged the paper on the inside using my "heartbeat" scissors.
And added a verse.
I made two cards. One for my parents and one for my daughter.
Then I decided to do one for my son. No reds for him.
Although I did sneak in a little pink ;)
I then added some "postage stamps" and gold trim.
Nothing too mushy for him.
Again on the inside I added the verse and some more "postage stamps".
I added some gold trim to the edges.
I used the same idea for hubby but he likes red.
Although I did use a deeper red than on the first button cards.
And a similar inside as my sons card, again I gold trimmed the edges.
Valentine's Day cards are done.
Now onto birthday and anniversary cards.

ReplyDeleteIsn't that fun?!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, I'm sure they will love your genuine Valentines!
Mrs Evans - Thank you! I am glad I could share them :)
ReplyDeleteBlondee - It is so much fun!! I've been working on them in the evening after I get the kitchen cleaned up from supper. Supper's never been cleaned up so fast and the kitchen's never been cleaner than this past week as I work as fast as I can to give me more time to work on the cards LOL ~Alana~
That's beautiful. My husband loves red too. I hope I get time to handmake my cards for Valentines...but I tend to leave it toooo late! It's the 11th already and I've nothing prepared. LOL.
