VALENTINE CARDS

Valentine’s Day is right here, so today I show you a pretty card to do.

It is very simple and easy, but it makes a beautiful gift.

You need some heavy paper cards.

If you like stationary stores, check for special papers

just thinking of this.

Then cut them at the size you desire.

Mine are 5,5 x 4 inches (12 x 15 cm.)

You will need some colourful fabric scraps too.

(Yes, I love red for this, classic me…)
But Kaffe Fassett has those wonderful reds and purples... !

You will cut some hearts from them, to sew in the cards.

You can make an acetate pattern,

if you want to make several of them.

It might be a good idea to make some cards for your friends,

so they can give them to their beloved ones.

If you have a firm hand, dare to draw the heart right in the fabric.

Then cut them with care.

Add a few dots of glue, just to fix them

 in the card, so you can sew them easily.

Change the needle in your sewing machine by an older one

and keep it just for sewing paper.

Other way it can damage the next fabric you want to sew…

Choose the lowest rate, so you can sew slowly,

taking control of the curves. Stitch near the edge of the fabric.

  You can use a thread in the same colour or a contrasting one.

Even in the spool, because the back of the card will be

in sight and can be funny to see the contrasting stitching.

That easy is to make these beautiful cards!

And now you can write your message and some free love gifts.

I’ll give to my kids their favourite dessert, a feet massage…
