We started on Sunday, and finished this afternoon (Thursday). Obviously we spent just a little bit of time working on them each day, and it worked out very well since it stayed fun for Mini Muffin the whole way through. She's always loved craft time, and since every time we sat down there was a new component to work on, they made for a pretty interesting project.
Our process was as follows -
First, I prepped the cards and used my Cricut to cut out hearts. I then put glue on the hearts and passed them to Mini Muffin to stick to the front of each card. Some of them are very centred... others not so much.
Next, I addressed the cards, and Mini Muffin "wrote" in them with pink crayon.
And, finally we pulled out my container of dollar store craft goodies (pom poms, flowers, jewels, etc), and Mini Muffin showed me where she wanted glue on the front of each card to finish up decorating them. Luckily for the first two thirds she was happy just putting one thing in the middle of the heart. Towards the end, the cards were becoming pretty heavily adorned (and time consuming as well!).
