Since everyone is now posting their Valentineās I thought Iād get in on the action! I made these for the Handmade Valentine Card Exchange this year. I think everyone has received these with the possible exception of @Edel so Iāll blur hers in case she hasnāt gotten it yet!
These were a delight to make for sure. I LOVED all the patterns and it was hard to choose which ones to make in the end. I love Valentineās puns and combine that with cross stitchā¦well, I was pleased as punch.
The patterns all came from and issue of Cross Stitcher or Cross Stitch Crazy. I canāt remember at the moment but if you really want or need me to dig up which one, lemme know!
As for constructionā¦I made the cards out of scrapbook paper, I had cut out an opening on each to peek the cross stitch through. I used re-positionable double sided tape (which I hope held up in the mail) so that way people could easily deconstruct the card and use the little cross stitch for something if they wished. (Please do!)
Thatās why I only went with 5 cards to begin with. It wasnāt too bad though. Iām a pretty quick cross stitcher. Took me about a week to get all the cross stitching done. They were fun, little designs to do.
