Greeting Card Confetti for Valentine Day Cards

When I wrote this post here, my sweet blog friend, Ann commented that the art idea of that post would be great for Valentine's Day.

I figured I might as well spread the love and make some Valentine confetti!

Since I will be seeing my two college daughters in the next few days, I decided that they would be the recipients of the Valentine cheer!

What you will need to make Valentine confetti is:
Watercolor paint or any paint
Gel pen
Watercolor paper or cardstock
Scissors
Greeting Card
Cheerful Spirit

This was just as exciting as when I made the Christmas confetti (read Christmas confetti post here)!

What you will need to do is:
-Paint red and pink blotches on the paper.

-Let dry.

-After paint has completely dried, draw hearts and flowers with the gel pen.

-Cut around the hearts and flowers.

-Cheefully place the hearts and flowers inside card.

-Mail or give to recipient!

Ann was right!  Greeting card confetti is a great idea for Valentine's Day!

A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance:... -Proverbs 15:13

I also tossed in some construction paper hearts that I made as well as the watercolor ones!  So you could also cut out construction paper hearts as confetti!

Christmas Card Confetti

I found this really cool Flower Confetti on this really cool blog!

Well, seeing that Christmas is right around the corner and Christmas cards will be mailed out soon, I actually saw a need for Christmas Confetti.

Yes, Christmas Card Confetti!

I wanted to make this so much that I made it without a Christmas Card just to see what it looked like. So now when I purchase my cards, I will already know the excitement of it all! -so fun!

To begin this little project, I made a few watercolor blotches on watercolor paper.  I took the paintbrush and rubbed it over the tip of the watercolor pencils.  Doing it this way seems to make the color a little darker.

Part of the fun and beauty of this is the imperfections of the blotches which makes it perfect.

After letting the blotches dry, I used a gel pen to draw around the blotches.

I drew Christmas trees, flowers, and snowmen.  I also drew a star and star flower.

After drawing around the blotches, I cut out the shapes.

On the back of a couple of the confetti, I wrote a little note.

And voila!  You have Christmas Card Confetti!

Simply stick inside any Christmas card and let the cheer spill out!

So now you can add a little extra Christmas cheer to those Christmas cards!

This is also a great project for the kids to do.  They could glue them to the outside of envelopes or make a Christmas scene on paper.

What are some Christmas projects that you are doing this year?
Let me know in the comment section.
