Make Your Own Valentine Cards

There are still few days left before Valentine’s and if you haven’t bought/made a card yet, now is the time. Today, we have for you an idea how to use ‘unusual elements to send cute messages of love. Our Crew member, Viktoryia Porechnaya, used Canvas Corp Farmhouse Kitchen blank recipe cards and postcards in her project. Have you ever thought of using them this way?

Viktoryia says: ‘Do you want to make special cards for Valentine’s Day? I have some ideas to make them using “unusual” items; I used a recipe card and a pan image from CC Farmhouse Kitchen collection for one and a blank post card and small kraft envelope with postal stamps for the other. To maintain the tradition, rose and red colors, of course, are here – for the lovely heart embellishments.’
