Here’s a fun way to recycle old envelopes in your handmade valentines. My envelopes have a variety of patterns and shades of grey. While doing this project I also discovered some envelopes with a blue pattern.
A handmade valentine is a fun way to let family and friends know that you are thinking about them. There is an organization that requests handmade valentines to distribute in nursing homes. That’s a great idea, however I didn’t see that notice until yesterday and now there isn’t time to meet the deadline. I’ll keep the information for next year.
These cards come together quickly and are fun to make. The red background paper was in a package of assorted papers that my son gave me last year. A wonderful discovery.
I think it would also be interesting to use the junk envelope papers for all the hearts. I have not tried that yet.
Have fun making your cards. Remember to experiment using whichever supplies you have on hand. When you can recycle what would have been tossed away; that makes the process even better.
Take care of your creative self.
