Fan Mail Friday- February 13th, 2026

Hi everyone,

Happy Fan Mail Friday, our Valentine’s edition. What a perfectly timed celebration of card making and an outpouring of love. My heart is so full from all the beautiful creations that have graced the studio this week.

Watch the video:

Leslie created a Valentine hello card using the harlequin bow dies and said she looks forward to crafting together this year. I am so excited to create right alongside all of you.

Becky Joe sent a sparkling card with diamond glitter and the sweetest letter catching me up on her life. Hearing about her granddaughter Theo, also called Peanut, made me smile from ear to ear.

Gloria wrote to say how much she enjoyed the new Mystery Box and shared a beautiful story about giving handmade Valentines to young workmen for their sweethearts. She truly made their day and reminded us how powerful a handmade card can be.

Julie made a fabulous interactive pulley card and celebrated the joy of continuing to send meaningful, vintage-inspired Valentines. It is such a gift to see these classic ideas brought back to life.

Yukari designed a gorgeous box with a spectacular bow using our concentric heart and locket dies. It is elegant, thoughtful and such a delight to receive.

Every single card and letter is a reminder that crafting is about so much more than paper and ribbon. It is about connection, generosity and sharing a piece of your heart. You make this community what it is, and we are endlessly grateful.

If you have ever thought about sending something in for Fan Mail Friday, please do. We would love to celebrate your creativity and share your story with everyone here. Pop your card or letter in the mail and send it to 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta GA 30324.
