Valentine’s Day cards 2024

I bought a LOT of craft supplies during the thickest part of the COVID pandemic, and because I was sad (pandemic) I barely used any of it. So other than cardstock, tape, and glue, this year I want to use what I already have when creating cards for my various card swaps.

three homemade valentine's day cards. They are embossed, lightly inked with pink ink over the embossing, and have a red heart in the middle

I’m really happy with how the Valentine’s Day cards turned out. I embossed white cardstock with a flower pattern and lightly used a brush to add red ink to it. Next, I used my die cutter to cut out heart shapes in red and a neat metallic gold cardstock. A little bit of glue and tape later and I had my cards!

I decided to be smart and create embossed panels with purple ink brushed onto it for the regular February cards. That didn’t go as well, but since I only mailed them out this week, that blog post will wait until later in the month.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
