WE LOVE YOU!

One of my favorite days of the year for so many reasons is, Valentine's Day! Approximately one billion Valentines are sent out worldwide each year according to estimates by the U.S. Greeting Card Association. That's second only to Christmas! Every year we are a part of that statistic and send out our handmade love notes to our family all over the country. Here are the cards we made this year.


This project was quick, easy for the entire family and ended up being quite cute! 
Here's what you need:
Gray construction Paper
Red Acrylic Paint
White Acrylic Paint
Shelf Liner or Sponge 
Paper Cutter
Scissors
Black Sharpie

Using shelf liner (I didn't have sponges) I cut out small hearts to use as stamps

Stamped hearts on cut and folded gray construction paper

I cut the paper down to 7"x 5" to be folded into a 3 1/2"x5" card

Stamped a banner in white and outlined with black sharpie.

Final - We Love You Valentine's Day Cards!
