Happy Valentine's Day!

As a present to you, I'll show you what I made for Christmas presents {two and a half months ago... ha}.

Four sets of five cards for the varies sets of parents in my life. These were so fun and easy to make. Making four cards at a time is just about as easy as making one card. I'd do this again in a heartbeat!

So there they are- five quick, simple cards that got rave reviews this holiday season. While we're at it, why don't I share a few projects that slipped through the cracks from December as well. I love these, so I can't just not share. :)

Here's a Christmas one that I did for the "cards that give" challenge at Hero Arts (but never submitted for... haha). The money, folded into forths, slides in and out easily, and the card still looks fine without the money there. Love this idea- I'm sure they'll be more like this sometime soon.
 
 
Supplies: Cardstock- Papertrey Ink (Vintage Cream), Patterned Paper- Basic Grey, Stamps- Hero Arts (CG128- Three Flowers and CL343- Holiday Sayings), Corner Rounder- WRMK, Ink- Tsukineko, Colored Pencils- Prisma.

And here's one that's a little more appropriate for this time of the year. A congrats card for an engagement :) My roommate's friend is getting married. It's crazy to me to think that someone my age is planning a wedding.... I mean, other than me. My fabulous dream wedding in the fictional part of my brain :)

Brit
