What are your plans for the weekend? My sister and her fiance are coming to visit! He just got back from Afghanistan and they are getting married in April so there is much to celebrate!
My hubby’s birthday is the day after Valentine’s Day, and so I am working on a series of fun handmade Valentine’s for him. I am hoping he doesn’t see this post….. I wanted to share one of these projects with you. I have seen some cute ideas before with playing cards-so this is my version. These are sooo easy to make and fun to receive!
What you need:
deck of cards (with red backs)
hole Punch
marker or stamps
wax paper
tape or glue
ribbon or raffia
cardstock
1) I used the Ace- 4 of hearts and cut out the letters L-O-V-E out of cardstock and glued them to the back of the playing cards. Flip them over.
2) Stamp or write your own message on each card. (I did my first one upside down!-oops.)
3.) Hole punch and string together your cards using ribbon or rafia.
4) Fold up and make it accordion style.
5) Cut some wax paper to make a pocket.
6) Slide in your card, seal, and tie ribbon or raffia around it:)

Since I started my etsy shop in September, I have been tweaking my product packaging as I go along. I pretty much have it where I want it to be…just working on labels. Along the way I have found some packaging examples that are inspiring to me for their originality, professionalism, and consistency with their shop design. Have a look! Which do you like best? Don’t these want to make you order something from them? 😀
I have been a fan for a while, so had to share some of my favorite items and what I would pair them with. The clever use of photo props and photography settings really makes SPOOL No. 72 stand out….and check out the originality of names!
