Make a handmade greeting card for a friend.

“I bought a bunch of blank card stock cards, envelopes and pretty sheets of paper. I then cut hearts out of the paper that would fit onto my card stock card. I picked up one card at a time and centered a heart onto the card by eye balling it in the middle. I then used my sewing machine and sewed the heart into place, just like I would sew any other fabric project. [...] I played with the different edges on my cards. I also played with adding more sewn lines to my heart. Both of these options let you get more creative with your greeting card. I had fun making mine with my trusty crafting sidekick.”

“I used a die and die cutting machine, and then I attached strips of the various coloured cardstock on the reverse side. Cut and folded cardstock to make a card and then attached the heart panel on front. The envelope is handmade, too, from patterned paper and double-sided tape. I used an envelope maker punch board for that.”
