Cupcakes and Cashmere

Valentine’s Day Stationery

February 9th, 2012

A couple of days ago, my friend Brittany (from Walnut Paperie) came over for a little card-making session, just in time for Valentine’s Day. I think certain aspects of the Hallmark holiday are lame (like over-priced dinners and red roses), but I’ll never tire of making pretty notes to give to friends. She came prepared with beautiful card stock, heart cut-outs, glitter in every color imaginable, watercolors (such a fun, unexpected touch), hot pink twine, and sparkly tape. Here are a few of my favorite cards we made, and you can find the templates to make your own here.

P.S. Here’s a tip I learned from a reader: an easy way to remember the difference between stationery (writing paper) and stationary (standing still) is to think of the ‘e’ for envelope!

    Gorgeous! Where is that little glue pen from (that you used to glitter your writing)? I’ve never come across one before, but then again, my crafts store and I are not the best of friends.
