Our 1st grade son, Brady, wanted “cool” valentine’s to give to his friends this year. This is what I came up with. I hope they are COOL enough, they sure were easy to make! Do you think the baker’s twine makes it look too “Christmas-y”? Recipe:Stamp Set: I (Heart) Hearts, Everyday Flexible Phrases (retired), Extreme SkateboardPaper: Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper WhiteInk: Real Red, Basic BlackAssessories: Fun Dip Candy, Baker’s Twine, Staple, Sponge, Curly Label PunchInstructions: The matchbook is cut at 8 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, and scored at the 1/2″ and 4 1/2″ mark. The white cardstock is cut at 2″ x 3″, and the black is just about 3/16″ larger than the white piece.The rest is pretty self explanatory. The actual matchbook bows out a bit, because of the candy inside. I had to hot glue the skater to the front because of the bend in the paper. It looks like he is skating on a curved edge because of the bow in the paper! Also, I BLOOPED and smudged underneath the skateboarder, do you see that? I decided to try to recreate this BLOOP because it looks like the shadow of him! LOL Sometimes mistakes are GREAT! LOL

Love it, very boyish cool, and not Christmassy at all!
very cute Lorri! I love it and not Christmasy I don't think.
Really cute, Lorri. As for the baker's twine, ask Brady. He'll tell you. I love it just the way you made it!
Super cool – and I love the twine – not Christmassy in my opinion. You did a fabby job!
