Let's Get Dotty

Happy First Day of February! We're making unique, handmade cards this week and I'd like to invite you to make a few as well. It's for a good cause called the Special Delivery Project. Etsy is partnering with City-Meals-on-Wheels to deliver nutritious meals and handmade Valentine cards to over 18,000 elderly New Yorkers on Valentine's Day. Isn't that a nice way to share the love?

Last year, I made these Valentine cards for the Special Delivery Project and boy did I have a ball making them! Etsy needs our help by making the cards and writing a sweet message inside. Make as many cards as you want and mail them by February 7, 2012 to:

Attn: Katie Rose Crosswhite

55 Washington Street, Suite 512

Brooklyn, NY 11201

Now, here's another idea to turn left over tissue paper used from gift wrapping.

I chose this one with the polka dots. I'll cut around them.

Then I'll attach these randomly on plain card stock with a glue stick.

You can cut out circles from single color tissue paper too.

A blah sheet of paper is now a TADA! greeting card!
