“I love you more than all of the puppies and kittens in the world”

My daughter and I have this thing that we do whenever she goes to bed or gets dropped off at school. We say, “I love you more than all of the ________ in the world”. We decided to make some valentines stamped with this saying. It’s been fun to choose something different for each one of our pals.

Materials Needed: watercolor paper, ruler, pencil, scissors, x-acto knife, or a paper cutter, cutting mat (if using an x-acto knife), cups, gouache paint, spoon or stick for stirring,, and a lettering stamp (we got ours here)

Step 1: measure out cards, we made ours 5.5 inches by 4 inches

Step 2: cut out cards

Step 3: create your stamp, our stamp says, “I love you more than all of the __________ in the world”

Step 4: prepare the dye, we mixed a few drops of gouache with about 1/2 cup of water

Step 5: dip the card into the dye

Step 6: hang dry, once the card is dry, you can iron it to flatten the curves if there are any

Step 7: stamp your phrase onto the card

Step 8: fill in the blank

Step 9: give your card to your pals
