Valentine’s Day (as you must know) is fast approaching. This is a day you definitely don’t want to pass up telling your sweetheart how much he/she means to you. A custom Valentine just might be the ticket. Whether it be how you two met, what your favorite activity is to do together, or a dream that you two have — telling that story to your love through a card means a whole lot more when that story is on the front as well, not just on the inside. (Click here to see some of my favorite custom cards I’ve made.)
I’m already putting together some of the cutest custom cards and I can’t wait to share how adorable they are coming out. For the privacy of my customers, you won’t get to hear the stories behind the cards unless the customers are okay with it, but I’ll definitely be showing you the cards at least. Some of my favorites, I must say!
So I just wanted to send out this little note to let you all know that I’m still accepting orders for custom valentines, through February 8th that is if you want it before Valentine’s Day (and even later if you’re okay with receiving the card after Valentine’s Day). Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Filed Under : Gift Wrap + Packaging - Paper Projects
I remember the days when I was terrified to mix patterns and textures. I’m still a bit uneasy about mixing patterns still when it comes to what I’m going to wear, but when it comes to packaging, I’m all in. Inspired by yesterday’s inspiration palette, here’s a gift wrap idea for you.
One thing about mixing patterns is that it’s the safest to mix them when they share the same color(s). Sometimes, throwing in a small amount of contrasting color adds some fun. For this one, I wrapped the gift up in black + white polka dot paper that I printed at home. I tied up the package with blue chevron twill ribbon, made a flower out of a napkin I picked up at Target, dabbed watermelon-colored puff glue to add some texture to the gift, and finished it off with a pink glitter tag and a gem stone brad.

Valentine’s Day is coming up, and so is wedding season. Two very special things and I realized that I haven’t had very many love/wedding cards in the Shop for a while now. So, just recently, I added some new 3D layered cards and revised ones from before. So go take a look.
