Handmade Paper Love Notes

Love Notes

I always need thank you cards for different occasions. Creating these with AG templates, some beautiful handmade papers and a set of cherub dies was perfect to use a thank you notes to send to all my loved ones. These are so quick to make by the batch to keep on hand for future use…just vary the die cut to fit the event.

Supplies:

• Blender,  cello sponges and soft towels

• A sunny window

• Scraps of white and colored paper (think junk mail, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Follow the instructions found in any of the Arnold Grummer™ paper making kits to 

        create white slurry with flower petal inclusions.

2. Pour the slurry into the template to create several pieces of paper. 

3. Allow the paper pieces to dry.

5. When the papers are dry write your message on one side of the paper.
