You Keep Me In Stitches Valentine!
You Keep Me In Stitches Valentine!
What kind of card do you like to give your special valentine each February? I opt for a super mushy one and then add in a punny one to keep things light!
This year, I've created a You Keep Me in Stiches, Valentine! card to get a laugh from my valentine. I used this great tutorial to learn how to make a cross stitch pattern in Illustrator.
Valentines Day Cards for Everyone
This fun little Valentine's day card is great for all ages! Send these with your kids to school for friends and teachers. Definitely send these to your crafting buddies with a little spool of embroidery thread and a new needle for a gift set.
Or do like I do and save this one for your favorite valentine!
Make Your Own Envelope
And what's better than a nice DIY card with a unique handmade envelope to go with it?
Here's the DIY envelope tutorial I used to make my red card stock envelopes. I made a modification in the dimensions for my 4" square card. To get clean edges on my envelope, I used a 6.5" square and folded each corner cleanly.
I then used a glue stick to affix the edges to each other. I used my small heart paper punch to add a little detail to the envelope flap.
Pipe Cleaner Fun!
I also tried a few fun ways to seal my valentine card envelope. I cut a red sparkly pipe cleaner in half and punched two 1/4" holes in each side of the back of my handmade envelope.
Then, I threaded my pipe cleaner through each hole and bent to secure. I folded the remainder of the pipe cleaner into a heart. I love the way this turned out and creates a little sculptural element that adds even more interest to the card.
