craftgrrlOK, I've been lurking in this community and reading everyone's crafty ideas for a month or two now, but I finally got a digital camera of my own so here's my first post! I made these V-day cards for my friends/family and they were so cheap! A pack of 20 of those cool old-fashioned looking gift tags is only $1.50, and I bought red polar fleece to stitch on for the hearts and some cheap extra buttons to enhance the cute factor.
That reminds me, I know some of you are vegan like me and would therefore be averse to using felt (since the only kind I've ever found is made of wool- correct me if you guys have found non-wool felt). I've discovered that polar fleece is a great substitute! It's pretty inexpensive, comes a variety of colors, and shares a lot of the same characteristics (like unfinished edges don't unravel and it's soft and fuzzy). Sorry if this was obvious, but I just recently discovered this as a felt substitute and so I'm thrilled haha!
