Valentine Cards For My Grandsons
My previous post found here, talked about how I spent the day making Valentine cards for my grandchildren while celebrating British Columbia’s first ever Family Day holiday.
First it was the Girly Girl valentine for my granddaughter and now it’s my grandsons’ turn.
How hard can it be to make a Valentine card for your grandsons? Well, the depends on how old they are. At 5, its easy. At 9 not so easy….all that mosh Nan, YUK!
So his card was not filled with a lot of mosh. I tried to hip it up by using black, white and red and of course, I thought the Soda Pop Tops would help. Who knows, if it will fly.

He’s still young enough to like some of the mosh!
Happy Stamping!
I’m certain your grandson will love the card! Great for any age!
Hi Karen! Me again! 🙂 I just read your post – I would be delighted to stamp out some of the PXS Near the Sea images for you! Email me at Kelnkids@aol.com and we’ll get the deets, I’d be delighted to share 🙂 It’s a very old stamp but means the world to me and that would be great for you to have the sentiment, too! Muah!
This is beautiful, Karen — I’m sure it was well received by your grandson! Love the bottlecaps, what a fun element to work with! x0x0
I like the casualness of this layout! I tend to be very structured!
Great card Karen. I amd sure your grandson will appreciate that there is no mosh!
I love the black and white with your valentine red! And what a delightful embellishment the bottle top makes!! Great job, Karen!
