I was inspired by having a three day weekend to make a special Valentine's gift for my students. I usually just give my students a pencil, because they always need one of those, but this year they will get their pencil with a handcrafted valentine. First step, do some stamping....
I used an adorable stamp set called, 'With Love' for the birds and greeting. I also used one of the hearts from a recent Kit of the Month set called 'Only You'. I thought they fit together perfectly, what do you think?
Next I layered some paper to match the stamps:
It is so much easier to coordinate when you have matching inks and paper....no thinking necessary!
Finally, I folded the base card to create a pencil flag valentine card. Thirty cards down....and my attempt at a healthier version of a Valentine treat. Here is a picture of the final product.
