After this Valentine's Day, my husband and I vowed that we're no longer buying each other store-bought cards. To spend over $4 on a card that probably doesn't even express exactly what we're trying to say to each other just doesn't cut it anymore

With that in mind, I've started playing around with making cards at home! These are so much fun to make, I think I'm addicted! Each card has some combination of paper, ribbon, buttons or other embellishments. I'm learning that lots of layers make for a great card!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisRL6ynYV_pHOkxsQ4fuWqnvRMjk4h0hSq1FZrTykxQpivBp6-NE-u-R_qQwpXCZcHfoIaw63B2vcAS2FmnGsrj52agvFcrBnMS9zV0f-_JBvquqA8diUygjyXnSKqx9kyqEREMsr1KdM/s320/68a.jpg)
