I was working on some projects last night and stopped to make this quick little valentine.I love this cat image by justjohanna - purr-fect for Valentines Day (sorry - couldn't resist....).
I covered the image with microbeads. I often forget about these, but I love the look when I remember to do it. It makes the card look so special.
I really like these little 4x4 cards - one thing I didn't notice though is that they came with A2 sized envelopes! (bummer). How did I not notice when I bought them? Sheesh....
If anyone knows of a bulk source for 4.25x4.25 envelopes please let me know. I need them in bulk and the smallest I've ever been able to find is 5x5.
Hope everyone is having a great Friday. So far today I packed up a bird nest for letter N show and tell, viewed a very nice second grade MLK program, and this afternoon I'm going to a Build A Bear Birthday party. Bet you never suspected I have such a wild and crazy social life.
Well, back to my project....

Cute card! It looks like the card is from Amuse...if I remember right they changed the envelopes with their cards because postage is higher for the 4.25X4.25 size envelopes. Something like that!
I LOVE this card! That image is so adorable and the microbeads add such character to the card. I have never used those, maybe I should look for them :D
So sweet! Very nice!

This card is really cute! I love the look of the microbeads over an image! I keep meaning to pick some up, but they are always last on my to get list and usually get bumped for stamps! Very pretty! :)
Arrrh this is soooooo cute, I love the image. I really need to look into getting me some Just Johanna images I think, lol xx
Oh My Gosh, this is absolutely adorable. I love how you used the microbeads. Do they make the card heavy?
I am going cold turkey on stamp buying (card is full :( , LOL) but these kitties are sooooooo cute.
