Handmade Valentine’s

i LOVE card-making.

not only am i too cheap to buy a card, but i NEVER find one that really says what i want to say, in the way i want to say it. card-looking is a big time-waster to me. so, instead i get ALL of my stuff out & pile it high on the table to  make a few cards {or sometimes just 1}.

& my sweet 2 year old “helped”! :)

supplies needed: whatever you have!! i took out cardstock, stamps, markers, buttons, sewing needle & thread, felt, gummy bears & chocolate!

i hope some of these ideas inspire you to create something for your loved ones this year.

simple. easy. to the point.

{isn’t the arrow just “sew” sweet?? this is my favorite one!}

buttons. more buttons. a little xoxo flag & paint chips!

… warning. warning. the next one you are about to view is for adult-viewing only. :)

{go make one for your husband, he will LOVE it!}

& here’s how they look on the faux mantel that my hubs built:

which one is your favorite?

recommendations for new ones?
