V-Day cards

One thing I love about being home is taking the time to make things- family Christmas cards, Advent Calendar and Valentine's Day cards. When mommy is working life gets to hectic that I don't have time to do all these things that I love to do. 
I've been noticing all the V-Day craft ideas popping up on Pinterest for the past couple of weeks. One of my favourite ideas was from Sally J Shim. I decided to rework her idea to make it my own. I knew I wanted to incorporate your thumb prints on the cards so I tried a few ideas. In the end, I settled on the cards above. I used Hershey Kisses instead of the heart candies that Sally used.

You didn't know why you were making heart thumb prints yesterday night.
I tried several different colours of my stamp pads and settled on the red colour.

You hard at work.
I scanned my favourite heart shape that you had made and incorporated it onto my tic tac
toe cards. I also made sure to get all the names of your daycare friends/teachers before
I made these cards so that I could personalize them.
Printing it out on my new Epson Artisan 1430 printers (gift from daddy).
Here is the printed card sans that Hersheys chocolates.
I cut them all out and used white glue to glue the chocolates onto the cards.
I'm trying out a new web app called Vine. I created a 7 second loop video of the Valentine's Day card that I made.
