Shelly says:With Valentine’s Day right round the corner, we are starting the next round of “holiday” parties for the New Year.
My daughter will be having a
Valentine’s Party with her Daisy Girl Scout Troop next Sunday. So we
sat down together this past weekend to create some special handmade
Valentines for her Daisy Friends.By keeping to this size, the
valentines will easily fit into an envelope.
We trimmed 2” strips of paper from various patterns and matched them up to each of the die cuts. Using a 4.25”x5.5” card base as a guide, we trimmed the 2” strips to size after arranging them how we wanted them.
We
finished each card off by stamping “to and "from” (using the Winter
Wonderland stamp set) on to white tags. I have a punch to create these,
but you can also find pre-made tags at your local office supply store.
Next, we attached the tag using brads and twine from the Indie Chic Collection.With the odd shape of these valentines, I was worried that they might
fall apart after all the handling they would endure with the kids, so I
quickly ran each through my sewing machine. Those babies aren’t going to
fall apart now!
To add a personal touch, my daughter added to the pre-printed sentiment. I have to say that I was pretty proud of how she knew just what she wanted to say to each one to make it her own message in her own handwriting. She is so excited to hand them out at her Valentine’s Party!
I hope you feel inspired to pull out your stash of die cut titles and create with your kids today!
Assorted Valentine's Day Treat Bags by Suzanne
Supplies: Lucky in Love:Flower patterned paper,Cupid's Arrow patterned paper:Lost and Found 3-Ruby:stamps,enamel dots;Misc:glassline bag,doily,glitter
I took a 5x7 glassine bag that I cut to 5" x5 3/4". Then I took an oval punch, and punched the top of the bag to add a handle at the top. Glassine bags are perfect for baked goods, and make a beautiful presentation.
I covered the middle of the bag with the Flower Power patterned paper, and added a stitched doily to the top. A few glittered hearts, and a cute stamp (from Lost & Found 3) add fun valentine details.
Supplies:Lost and Found 3-Ruby:Grey Quatrefoil paper,Ruby Stripes glitter paper,enamel dots,layered stickers;Misc:vellum,heart doily,glitter,ribbon
Suzanne says: I also created these popcorn pockets stitched together with vellum. The Lost & Found 3 Ruby Collection has a color palette that is so very perfect for Valentine's Day crafts. This was so easy to create...and it is a beautiful way to present special treats, notes, and cards.
These were the perfect size to add individual servings of popcorn tucked inside! An inexpensive way to ensure all 25 classmates are gifted with a treat on Valentine's Day.
