On a recent trip to Target, I found myself shaded by a banner of pink and red hearts. The bright colors had called unto me from afar. And they coerced me into entering... Yes. The Valentines Day card aisle.
Oops... momentary memory lapse.
So, I returned the cards (yes, I'm that cheap) and headed to Paper Source instead.
Now, Paper Source can be overwhelming for me. I want everything! I spend my time in the store flitting from display to display, picking things up and then putting them down. It's so hard to decide! This time, however, I only bought ONE item. A pack of flat, heart-shaped cards and little red envelopes. My goal = make the best Valentines ever using only my stashed-away craft supplies. (Hey, we're in a recession people.)
I'm pretty proud of the result:
I know I should've done some sort of tutorial (the masses need to know!), but I'm not really sure how these happened. I didn't take any specific steps; I just pulled out a bunch of lace and ribbon and twine and paper and started gluing.
But please, feel free to steal the ideas!
I can't wait for my friends and family to receive their little love notes in the mail!

They're lovely. How did you glue the lace on the back?
