valentines

we made valentines yesterday which will of course be arriving a little late in people's mailboxes but oh well. i made heart stamps out of some corks and etta stamped with paint onto pink paper. i cut that and a bunch of other papers into hearts and then sewed them onto the cards. sewing paper is WAY fun. i did some other cards where i "appliqued" the hearts on with a zigzag stitch.

ps. champagne or beer corks seem to work better than wine corks. the knobby end was easier for etta to hold. the corks cut pretty easily with an exacto and the denser the cork the better - like the pink heart in the pic.
