I like to try and use new things for him, especially since he sees a lot of what I buy. This Christmas card uses a new stamp that hadn't seen ink yet (Snow Buddies from Crafter's Companion
), and little jingle bells from Stampin' Up!
I usually use a lot of paper on Paul's cards, since I'm not trying to mail the card or make the card meet a price point to sell. It's fun to see how much paper I can use! This one mainly uses paper from the Academy kit, green paper from Retro, and various love themed stamps (no longer available - My Funny Valentine, and a special release from Stampin' Up!) on the tan paper.
Paul always takes his turn making cards, too. I just love how this looks like a stained glass window, and celebrates our recent trip to Disney.
This week for Valentines' day, I had an idea while watching the Paperwishes video show - since he's my sweetie, how about a sweet cupcake as an image? This cupcake is a Dazzles Mix 'Em Cupcake
- mix and match the shiny pieces to make your own unique cupcake. Add a paper doily, some heart banners (still trendy!), and again lots of layers, for some Valentine's fun. There are lots of pearls on the inside - I can use as many as I like since it won't be mailed!
Paul did another quilled masterpiece for me, as well.
So, spark your creativity this week by making a card for someone you love! And, check out our other cards to each other here:
