Reasons I do not have a social life – Valentinery

Published on by Jenna HutsonLeave a comment

NONSENSE: Valentines Day is around the corner y’all!* And why does this preclude me from having a social life?…because every year I hand make valentines to send to the people I love. This sounds simple, I know. Slap some hearts on some red construction paper and call it good. Right?…WRONG!

As a cardist?..hmm…artard? (card + artist…please comment with better title suggestions) I have to spend hours crafting every card. Well, not EVERY card…just the ones for boys I have crushes on.** This leads to a lack of free time to you know, date said boys. On second thought, I may be doing it wrong…

IMPORTANT STUFF: Anyway, this means some seriously snappy card tutorials and whatnottery for you guys. Stay tuned.

**Does that reek of desperation?…LOVE ME DAMMIT!!

For a puppy-loving coworker, a french bulldog card was the only way to go.

Sketch it!

Cut it into sections

Add bottom bits that will be covered with layers and layers of paper for depth (creepy puppy face!!)

Add details- eyebrows, skin folds to shape the eyes. P.S. that is my most favorite pencil, had it since 2nd grade!!

Completed and ready for allergy-free loving

I always add my details in colored pencil/watercolor pencils after the card is assembled. I opted to use brown with orange and yellow highlights to give the eyes life.

Look at those eyes...
Look at those eyes…

I must admit that I have never been very good at figuring where to add the shine on eyeballs…so usually I just guess and hope for the best.  * I know my pictures suck. Perhaps I should buy a fancy camera…or maybe I’ll save that cash for these instead. Ya, those…

Am I Crazy…

Mushten….Kitroom?

Or is this kitten in a crocheted mushroom costume the most adorable feline-fungus frippery ever?!

The answer is yes, in case you were actually considering any other thoughts.

Am I going crazy or….

Are these tiny felted animals like, the cutest thing you have ever seen? For some unexplained reason they are soooo cute that I

A) want to fit 5,000 in my pocket and extract one whenever a sad moment comes on

Pfft...that is not pocket lint. THAT is my friend Totoro

B) find a way to give them life so that they can roam around in a tiny terrerium while I watch from a distance making ‘coo-ing’ noises out of sheer cute overloadness.

I love you. Really, little felt dog. I love you.

C) shove one of the really tiny ones up my nose and/or squish it between my fingers…no, I don’t know why..and yes, I know you feel the same coplusion. Don’t lie to yourself. Your inner toddler will never forgive you.
