heart-felt cards
These are one of my favorite Valentine’s day projects (it’s actually one of the classes I teach) These cards are made from different colors of felt & embroidered with simple running stitches. Pinking shears add a nice detail to the edges - but don’t worry if you don’t have a pair! I use pre-folded blank cards (my local craft store carries them in bulk packs)
I also glued on a few little heart-shaped buttons as well :-)
Have fun & play with different layouts! Felt is great for projects like this because it’s easy to embroider and won’t fray.
