I just thought I’d share with you what I did as a card for the two weddings I went to in December. Both were the sort of weddings where money was the most appropriate gift. This always feels a little impersonal to me, which is why I like to include some hand-made accompaniment.
I enlisted Matilda’s and Christopher Robin’s help creating the backdrop (I asked them to write the word ‘love’ everywhere), then I crocheted the heart using this neat pattern from Skip to my Lou.
After that, I glued it all together with a co-ordinating button. I may have become a little obsessed with my hot-glue-gun of late…
Perhaps not as good as my lopsided cake card, but I like it, just the same!
Kate, that’s sooo cute! And also giant congrats on your 100th post!!!
Thanks, Anna!
Welcome! Love your blog cause it always makes me smile.
I love that! Darling idea!
Thank you, Liz!
Ooh I want a glue gun, but got confused between hot and cold and decided I could live without it… you might have pursuaded me… This is adorable! (You already got me into crochet! 🙂 )
Thanks Amanda! I can definitely recommend the hot glue gun – and stoked to hear you’re a crochet convert!!
Gorgeous. You could even scan their lovely artwork to create a digital version of the card to print out for future occasions. I’m huge on scanning these days and working on a post about all the wild and wonderful things you can scan for creative projects! Next on my list…learn how to crochet.
Thanks, Roary! I like that idea. I read about another blogger who scanned artwork to print as Christmas cards. If you’d like to learn to crochet, YouTube is a great place to start…
LOVE, love, LOVE the backdrop 🙂
Thank you, Dawn!
