I hope you all had a moony-eyed and chocolate filled weekend. If that is the kind of thing you like, of course.
I had fun making these cards a few days ago. One is for my schmoopie, and one was for a sweet couple we know who are getting married in a couple of weeks. (If you were never twelve, then you would not know that the TLF ligature means True Love Forever.)
I could see myself getting really obsessed by paper cutting, if there weren't already a thousand other craft skillz I like to dabble in.
These are really fun! I was twelve once, but never a twelve year old in love so thanks for the clarification :).
ReplyDeleteThese are soo sweet!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards - so cute.
ReplyDeleteadorable. So intricate. I am impressed.
ReplyDeletethanks, y'all.
ReplyDeleteKatie, I was always in love when I was twelve. And very fond of writing my married name: Larissa Estrada, Larissa Reeve, Larissa Hamil, Larissa Ford...
CupCakeCutie, thanks very much, but I have to own up and say despite appearances they were not that hard to make. All it takes is a sketch, a pair of scallop scissors, an x-acto knife, a regular hole punch, a small hole punch, and 20 minutes of your time.
Wow, it looks divine! Hope you had a fun valentines!
ReplyDeleteLove these and lol, I must have forgotten about my preteen years, because I didn't know what TLF meant!
ReplyDeletethey look magical!!!, I have been drooling everywhere over beautiful paper cuts of late I think they are a totally addictive craft!!!
ReplyDeleteUm...would that be Mrs. Eric Estrada?
ReplyDelete:)
I LOVE these valentines, Larissa. Tutorial forthcoming? Any tricks you could share? I've never done anything like this. Really great.
wow. I guess maybe TLF was not as ubiquitous as I thought.
ReplyDeleteRobyn, heck yes, Mrs. Eric Estrada! He was so dreamy...As for a tutorial, I never thought of that. I might do one if there is an interest in it. I already have a 3-D papercut tutorial I'd like to do. So many tutes, so little time.
Oh, never mind about the tutorial. I just read the rest of your reply to CupCakeCutie. Maybe I shouldn't be so intimidated by paper cutting after all!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I have to ask, Mark Hamil??? Mr. Whiny Pants himself? Hello, what about Mrs. Larissa Magnum? Oh wait, he's mine. Nevermind.
I just discovered paper cutting too - isn't it great? I love that you can make something that looks so special out of such simple materials - can't wait to see your 3D version! :D
ReplyDeleteRobyn, I wasn't interested in Mark Hamil's real life personality. Maybe I should clarify by saying, Mrs. Luke Skywalker. And yes, I also married Magnum, but that was when I was older and more grounded. Ahem.
ReplyDeleteLarry, his Luke Skywalker persona is exactly who I'm talking about. "But I was gonna go to the Tachi Station to pick up some power converteeeerrrs!" Man up, Luke.
ReplyDeleteRobyn, he was only a whiner before he became a Jedi. Then he got all heroic, serious and mystical. Not to mention he could lift X-Wing fighters from the mud with his BRAIN. Total marriage material for a 12 year old.
ReplyDeleteOkay, fine. You seem committed to this.
ReplyDeleteYours,
Mrs. Robyn Haim
Robyn,
ReplyDeleteCOREY Haim??? (laughing) whew! (laughing more) Ok, ok. All's fair. I did marry Eric after all and you didn't laugh. That I know of.
