~ quilled anniversary card

 

~ an easy way to make a quick but meaningful greeting card is to personalize it

... then add a simple quilled element

 and voila

~ quilled anniversary heart

 ~ this quilled heart was actually a mistake

it was supposed to be the same on both sides

... sometimes mistakes are better

~ you have my ♥

~ good morning

I recently had an order for 25 white quilled hearts 

and the customer backed out

soooooo what to do with all of the hearts

.....cards of course

 I didn't want scream valentines

but it could be used for that too

so I thought black and white

it could be anniversary, valentines, wedding 

or just because

Quilled Hearts

~ good morning

thought I would show you how I am packaging the quilled hearts that I am selling on my etsy site.  I printed my watermark 8 times on the front side of an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of card-stock. Then I printed a blurb on the back on how to use the hearts and then cut out business card size pieces.

The dilemma was how to adhere the hearts to the card-stock and still be able to get them off without breaking them. I tried a lot of different applications but the best adhesive was  removable glue dots. I rolled the dots onto the business card in four places, ran my finger across each one to remove some of the stickyness and attached the hearts to keep them in place. Then put each set in a protective sleeve.

I had a non-crafty family memeber try to take the hearts off and they had no problems. I hope that is the same for anyone who buys them {I don't want any broken hearts...not this close to valentine's day anyway - hehe}~

Thanks for stopping by

Valentine Gift Tags ~ White

~ hello everyone
just a quick post to show you another version of the valentine gift tag from a few days ago but this time in white.

Instead of embossing the end I thought it was about time I started using some of the washi tape my brother brought me back from Japan.  It was very quick and easy to use....just tape the end of the tag and trim the tape. To finish up the tag all I had to do was glue on the quilled heart and add ribbon. Voila~

~ hope your day is a good one

Valentine Gift Tags

~ good morning

thanks for stopping by my little corner of the blogging world. Today I am showing you a few simple tags I made using the quilled heart from this card. We sell the undecorated tags at work and I have been wanted to dress some up since we got them...so today is the day. I used my cuttllebug to emboss the ends, glued on the heart and added a bit of single face satin ribbon.

It is a bit harder to photograph tags than cards because they don't stand up but I think they turned out ok in the end {I did have a lot of duds in the camera though}
Have a great day....
Cheryl
