Many Valentines today – starting with the card I made live for Tim using the So Hoppy for You stamp set.

Tim suggested adding the heart on the path – so love was the pitfall that created the fall! The words were printed out on the computer – an easy way to make a card say whatever you want it to! The hearts are the Heart Epoxy Droplets colored with a Stampin’ Blend.

————————————————————————————————————–

Next – I received this welcome baby card made by Julia Buller – and just loved it! It opens to show the baby.

I cased her card and turned it into a Valentine card, using a 3/4″ punch and a Post-It note to delete the baby. (The video below shows how to do that)

I added a punched out heart on the cute kangaroo from Animal Outing.

————————————————————————————————————–

Now for some treat packets using the Hey Love stamp set!

In the video below I share how to make this matchbook holder any size you want!

—————————————————————————————————————-

Donna Griffith from SU! came to our Leaders Get-Together this past weekend and this idea came from her. I gave Tim some pieces and just told him to make a Valentine out of it (he never saw Donna’s.) This is what he made – a fun idea when you don’t want to do candy!

—————————————————————————————————————-

And Sour Cream Containers, which have been around forever, never fail to please!

After all these years … these Handmade Card Holders are still my favorite gift to make and give … and I give one to everyone who places a minimum $50 order through me in December!!!

These are quick & easy to make – and as I make them I think about how grateful I am to have such wonderful customers in my life. Because of you, my business succeeds – and the relationships are a precious gift as well!

You will find the detailed instructions on making these card holders below.

As you can see, many of these use cards from the past – so its a bit of a trip down memory lane.

I don’t know who to give credit to for making these beautiful cards – most were not made by me. Actually – that is one of my favorite perks of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator – the card swaps! (I would love to chat with you about the other perks as well – 612-929-1277)

So – now to show how easy this to make! (There is a video tutorial below as well.)

Start with a card front and choose an 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of card stock to coordinate with it. Score the cardstock at 2″, then turn and score at 5-1/2″ like the picture shows.

Fold the cardstock on the %-1/2″ line and trim the 2″ part like this:

Attach the card front to the front of the folder.

Lay a scrap piece of cardstock along the right edge and punch a hole about midway up the side – doesn’t need to be exact. Flip the scrap piece over and lay it along the left side and use the hole as a guide. This will make the holes even on each side.

Weave your ribbon or twine through the holes like this. (This serves two purposes – it keeps the cards inside the folder and it closes the folder with bow.)

*Hint: Leave the ribbon or twine on the spool while weaving the ribbon, then tie it in a bow when finished and cut the other end … no measuring and no waste!

Tie the bow and you are finished.

Warning – its addictive making these! But just think about being ready for a host gift, a birthday gift, or a thank you at a moment’s notice!
