My Card

SPOILERX









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.


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.

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

Sorry for so many pictures, I wanted to make sure to show all the angles and features.






Proof of craft lol

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).

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.

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?
