My Card

Comments: My fiance, Manny, is a very practical person. He hates Hallmark cards, feeling like they are meaningless and too expensive for what their purpose is. So, with limited resources for buying him gifts this year, I made him "52 cards", each one with a different thing I love about him. I used a deck of cards for several reasons. He loves play-on-words/pun jokes very much and he's a big poker player as a hobby. The cards are from the "Aria Resort" in Las Vegas, Manny's favorite hotel. [heart]


Side note- Manny saw me doing this and was rather confused. I explained what it was and he says to tell everyone that I should win. [lol]

Comments: Here is a Valentine's Day themed card I made! The colors in these photos aren't exact -- the hearts are actually (from top to bottom) neon pink, magenta, and lavender. I included the second photo to show that the origami hearts are 3-D :)

Comments: Valentines day is a day of looove~ And if you're single, self love! I am indeed single, so I decided to make myself a little something! I made a needle felted Abel doll~ His base (like a core) is made out of polyester fiber/stuffing, and his everything else is made from wool roving and acrylic fibers.

My Craft

Comments: I'm not the greatest sewer, and I don't have a sewing machine- hand sewed entirely. So, there are two rice/oatmeal heating pads. The rice-oatmeal (in the red-white checkered cloth) combo keeps heat in, releases a delicious and soothing scent while delivering heat to a desired area of the body. These two red-white-checkered pads are then placed inside two mini pillow-cases, one is fleece and the other is flannel. A black zipper is sewn into each pillow case and are easily to remove, for heating and cleaning. My fiance, Manny, gets terrible back and neck kinks because his job forces him to sit and stay motionless 8-10 hours a day. These two pads, I made with love, are to ease his aches and pains, enfolding him in a warm embrace when I'm not around. #sickenlysweet

(more in spoiler)

Comments: This year was my first Valentines Day with my beau and he LOVES leopard print, so I made him a bouquet of duct tape roses. There are 7 total (3 leopard, 4 red) and they all double as usable pens (shown in spoiler) The vase is filled with foil shreds and the card, which I also made and pasted to cardboard (the heart was glued separately), is tied on with velvet leopard print ribbon. Everything is made by me other than the vase (obviously).

Comments: I made some kawaii valentines charms, all about the size of my thumb nail or a little bigger. Everything is made from polymer clay, even the mouths. :)

I already have an idea!

Nephila 02-14-2016 04:00 AM

Excellent! :D

Your just about the cutest lil mouse I ever did see.

Clair Voyant 02-14-2016 05:14 AM

Hmmm...I want to use the gift I made for my fiance this year as an entry...but it used a deck of cards as part of the gift....does that disqualify it? :)

Maha-Aamir 02-14-2016 06:05 AM

Hmmm... interesting...
i wanna make a card too [:D]
when is the event ending?

Nephila 02-14-2016 08:42 AM

This contest is for hand crafted stuff, Cards or other crafts. If it's a set of playing cards or something you bought then yes it's disqualified. If you made the card you can submit the card under that category.

As for the event. As far as I know it's going to last a week.

Clair Voyant 02-14-2016 05:59 PM

I made the item, but used a deck of playing cards to create it.
Sorry for the confusion. Does that still disqualify it? It has to be completely hand made? :)

---edit

Oo! Can I submit some sewing?

Nephila 02-14-2016 07:24 PM

Oh if they were used to make then then yes that should be ok. I'm curious to see what it is now. :D Also yes sewing is allowed.

Clair Voyant 02-14-2016 10:03 PM

If it still doesn't qualify I understand. :)
