Valentine's day is just around the corner so everyone's busy looking around for the perfect cards. Last week, I posted these romantic handmade valentines and I was thinking, if I'm buying handmade, why don't I just hand-make it myself! It's tough work but I think that's what makes it more special. Although having a little assistant, like this cute handmade heart balloon rubber stamp from Cupcake Tree, does not hurt!
Do you make your own valentines or do you just leave it to the experts?
Oh, and check out these lovely printables from The English Muffin.

ReplyDeleteLoving that stamp! I have a hard time buying cards unless they are super special when I know that I can make some thing pretty rad on my own. But it's definitely hard to resist sometimes :)

ReplyDeleteI love stamps and always look for an excuse to use them. This is a perfect idea for friends and family
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I'm not very crafty myself and if I give Valentine's cards I like them to be funny (my message can be the mushy part!)
ReplyDeleteTres adorable! :)

These Valentines are adorable! I make my own every year!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Not making any valentines, but I do have tons and tons of weddings and wedding related events and this might really inspire me to finally make some cards. I even bought some a few months ago and still continue buying cards! Thanks for posting. Love your blog!

This is really cute. I have to make some Valentine's and I wasn't sure where to start before...but I think I'll take a look at some stamps and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the awesome inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAm I horrible to say that I haven't given out valentines to someone other than a boyfriend since Elementary School? I feel so not happy about that now! And I think I'm gonna hand make some this year! Thanks for the encouragement! I think I will be on the look out for adorable stamps :) Perfect idea!

I like to make my own val cards, or buy handmade ones, they feel like they mean more!
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by my blog, and for your comment, I'm enjoying your blog too! xx
Glad you girls find this helpful! I've already started creating my own valentines, but i need more inspiration, i think.

love stamps! i also think it's a good middle of the road solution to loving stationery and paper products but not wanting to be too wasteful, because it allows you to dress up recycled or inexpensive papers.
