Hi Friends!
I can’t believe January is halfway over. I usually don’t make Valentine’s Day cards – except for my kids’ teachers but decided to make some extras since I had everything out. My goal is to make at least two of every card so that I have some extras on hand if ever needed – and it will remind to mail more cards out. I haven’t done that in a while! I definitely mailed more “home” when we were living in Ohio for the short 15 months that we were there.
How fun is this My Favorite Things stamp and die set??? I thought it would be fun for the kids, but adults would find it cute too. I decided I wanted a shaker background on these cards – haven’t done it in a while and thought of my glitter friend, Missy, when I was making these cards. 🙂 I thought I was keeping this one simple, but I did some embossing and the X’s and O’s were cut from different paper for added interest. These fine pieces are not fun to glue, so I whipped out my Xyron Creative Station and turned all the pieces into stickers before placing them on the card – equally annoying because of all the little pieces…we have battles as cardmakers too!
I think I may use the stamp set only to make the kids’ cards for the classmates this year. No coloring required – always a bonus when mass producing! Anyway – just a quick post today. Thanks for stopping by!
xoxo,
