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.

I think Cyan did a great job on her Valentines. And so did you in fact! Your gift to Karl is perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh Hi Anji, nice to 'meet' you - just love stumbling across new 'crafty' blogs. The Valentine's cards are just toooo sweet! You should check out the children's party network (www.childrenspartynetwork.com) if you are not already a member that is:) I just became your 50th follower (yay) and I'm off to check out your etsy shop.

ReplyDeleteThose 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!
ReplyDeleteOh, 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.
ReplyDeleteDarling job, kudos to Cyan and her handy assistant.
Love, love, love the dragon!!
