happy valentine’s day



Cyan wanted to make Valentine’s cards for some of her school friends.. she picked coloured card which I trimmed into some little rounded cards using a corner punch. Pink for the girls, naturally, and purple and blue for the boys. She drew a different picture on each card, and added some heart stickers, gems and sequins.



A fairy and a princess..



A dragon and a T-rex for the boys..



Even the envelopes looked cute, she added heart stickers on all the ‘i’s..

I included the little toadstool in the photos at Cyan’s request, when I asked her not to seal the cards in the envelopes so I could take them out later and take a picture of them she told me “I’m finding pretty things to go in the picture with my cards”. Amazing, five years old and she’s thinking about staging photographs!



This laser-cut wooden heart was my alternative to a Valentine’s card for Karl, from Timber Green Woods on Etsy. I love that it has the year – 2011 – worked into the design, it commemorates this the year of our wedding.

  2. Oh Hi Anji, nice to 'meet' you - just love stumbling across new 'crafty' blogs. The Valentine's cards are just toooo sweet!

  3. Those jobs are so cute....I can't even stand it. The gems are my favorite...no the TRex Dino...no...the princess. I don't think I could give them away if that was my little girl. I'm glad you captured them on film....and I think the little mushroom sets them off nicely. ;o) I want three just like her! Until then, I'll live vicariously through you!

  4. Oh, those look much better than Nadia's (I'll deny I ever said that), I just gave her red and white paper and told her to go entertain herself.

    Darling job, kudos to Cyan and her handy assistant.
