Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hope your day is wonderful.
I spent most of this afternoon working on Valentines for Colin’s classmates – love it. Colin and I initially intended to create these together – having him do all the coloring. But after he was up all night with a double ear infection (and 3 hours at an urgent care this AM), I ended up doing the coloring while snuggled up on the sofa with him. He helped with assembly and such though. He loves when we do things for his classmates.
Here is a peek at what we created for 22 adorable kiddos…
I used Hero Arts robot, background and quote balloon stamps and little letters from Papertrey Ink. (See links at the bottom of this post – all supplies will be there.)
I created the message on my computer and stamped the quote balloon around it.
Colin stamped “beep” repeatedly on each piece with Soft Pool Ink. After coloring the robots, I added a bit of shine with a glitter pen and some fun with google eyes.
The red is an envelope that holds a little gift…
In the envelope is a tiny bag with a mini notebook and a fun small mechanical pencil.
These are such fun to create. I bought mini composition books (for less than 50 cents) and covered the front. The pencil image is from a Hero Arts digital kit and I added the face to it for fun. The smile actually is a Hero Arts stamp in THIS set – made it fast and easy. Then we stamped stars on the background.
Printing digital pieces like this makes crafting so much faster. But then by adding a bit of stamping and google eyes, it looks lovingly handmade.
I am sure many parents will wonder why I put so much time into these. Or that I must have so much time on my hands to create things like this. But it is just a choice I make – I love to make these fun little gifts because I know it makes them happy. In the meantime, my house is a mess and the laundry didn’t get done. Oh well. 🙂
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Oh, and good news. I have some giveaways this week. Hint, hint. 😉
Take care.
