Here is something you might miss in the new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog – the Sweet Valentines Cards & More! I almost forget I put it on my first pre-order before Christmas and I guess it got lost in the shuffle a little bit. But don’t overlook it because I think you will enjoy making some cards with this little kit. It’s not even officially a kit, just a package of card bases, card fronts, and envelopes but there is so much possibility with these colorful pieces!
As you can see in the photo below, You get two kinds of card bases, printed on both sides front and back so you can choose whichever side you want to be the front. Or even cut them apart and adhere to your own card base for a colorful background. Make twice as many cards that way!
To make the cards, you also get the card fronts. These are pieces almost as large as the card base itself so it’s a little bit of a shame to cover up the cute card base! But then when you look at the card fronts, there are two sides, both cute! You will hate to put glue on one side, like we do with designer paper! They also have gold foil accents!
Now really, if you adhere the card front with the blue hearts and one red heart onto a card base, you are DONE! You don’t need a greeting! If you wanted to, you could embellish either one with a bit of ribbon or whatever you wanted to use, whatever you have in your “stash”. And of course, the “You Are Loved” card really doesn’t need anything else! The blue hearts are the opposite side of the “You Are Loved” card and the big hearts card front has that kind of brushed look on the other side. You can add a greeting to these two plainer card fronts.
Here are my first two cards, made, seriously, in like 30 seconds! I just adhered the card fronts to a card base. That’s all I made upon just opening the package, but I want to “play” with all the pieces more and make some alternative cards as well.
You might even want to order two packages of these and you will be set for Valentine’s Day or even just any occasion notecards to send. Hearts and love is good any time, not just February 14th!. Envelopes are included. The only thing, I’m not sure the envelopes are the proper size for mailing, but you can put your card in a regular size envelope and save these for something else…..like a little envelope album! I think envelopes have to be 3 1/2″ x 5″ to mail, the size of our Notecards & Envelopes.
