HOMEMADE VALENTINES CARDS

This year my daughter attends a French school and due to the language barrier that seems to be rather high for her to overcome within just a few months, she has not yet made friends with anyone at school. Consequently we did not share any Valentines Day cards with her classmates. However, we created really cute homemade V-Day cards last year for all of her friends at the daycare and also for her wonderful teachers, Karen and Kristina. Belows are the pictures of our works of art (honestly, I have to admit that I made all of them myself but my daughter helped me with the ideas such as which cards given to whom, lol).

This one is made for Karen who loves Hello Kitty. Mew wrote her name at the bottom edge but some letters were in wrong order and there was an extra A there. Here is the card covers with a ribbon knot:

Openning up and inside it is a Hello Kitty family coloured by Mew:


This one is for Kristina. As we had not yet found out her loved character, we opted for a Hello Kitty theme too. Mew drew a princess with a lot of floating balloons outside the card. And this time she wrote her name perfectly:


Inside Mew coloured a Hello Kitty with a flower in hand:


And now comes a bunch of our homemade cards. We made a total of 15 cards by heart-shaped PVC foams. We decorated the cards with lucky stars folded by transparent gift paper, hearts, cut-outs, various kinds of stickers. Each card is a unique work of art. Then we punched a hole at the top of the heart and stringed a tiny ribbon through. In order to indicate which card was made for whom, we also stringed a heart-shaped paper on which Mew wrote the name of the recipient and her name (the sender). My husband had to put all the cards carefully in a big shoe box to carry to the daycare on that morning.



This one is specially made for Raymond, Mew's best friend at the daycare. It is the most special one because we folded a crane from transparent gift paper (it was hard to fold neatly this model because the paper is not really suitable for making craft). We also glued the most lucky stars to this card with the most beautiful and meaningful stickers. The tiny cut-outs along the edge of the heart were Cupids, apples, leaves, snowflakes, tiara/crowns, candles, bears, sun, tulips, etc. that we made from our Fiskar punch set:




Here are other 12 cards:




Now a closer look at each of them:
