A Grateful Heart card

Pin It

Get making those Valentine cards! The primrose heart is the inside of the red heart (well different color), then ran through the the big shot with an embossing folder.  And those little Flower trim flowers... I really just want to put those cute little things on everything!

Hearts a Flutter Frame

Pin It

Try this fun frame... The squares are cut at 1-3/4 x 1-3/4. They used markers on the "love story" stamp, the rest is easy peasy. Love all the textures and layers. The frame is 5 x 7.

Kindness Tree

Pin It

First of all...Sorry about the quality of the pictures.  The camera was not cooperating, but I wanted to get them on the blog. This is a kindness tree. So as a family, every time we do something kind, we get to put a heart on the tree. We are hoping that by Valentine's Day it will be stuffed full. I bound a few branches together with tape, then covered it with ribbon to make the tree.  

The hearts are simple.  My girls 6 and 9 helped with those.  We just punched hearts and stuck them together with dimensionals. Tied on some bakers twine. Now bring on the kindness!

Valentine Mousetrap

Pin It

Here's a fun mouse trap note holder.  We put a magnet on the back so it can be hung up.  A little heart treat would be adorable stuck under the trap. Its really a snap(ha ha, like that one) to cover after you remove all the hardware except for the hinged part. They come out easy with some pliers (my hubby liked helping with that part). If a little bit of the wood pulls up, it pushes back down easy.

More Amore Card

Pin It

It's so fun to cover everything with hearts when Valentine's Day comes around. Love that it's ok to pair reds and pinks together too. This is another class project for this month. It uses lots of fun embellishments from the spring catalog. The doily was sponged up a little bit with crumb to tone down the whiteness.
