Valentines

Here are some of the Valentines I made for this year. I will not be able to post all of them yet as some of the recipents visit this site and would get a "sneak peak"

I love the way these came together! Tear the flowers and leaves from scraps. I picked up the heart "buckles" from the craft drawer at the thrift shop.


These are so cute! I drew the bees on white paper, colored them in and cut out. The lady bug is a black circle and the wings are a circle cut from red and white ribbon. I then cut it in half and added spots punched with a hole punch. The wording is hand printed with gel pens.



I saw these in a catalog that you order premade cards from. I borrowed the general idea and made them my own. These took a little bit of time to cut all the peices but they turned out great! Each square is cut and then attached. I used a paint pen for the white letters and hearts. The letters in LOVE were cut by hand and then matted. I also cut each heart for the side and used the paint pen along the curve. These are for sisters, so I used the same theme and colors.



These are for 2 of my grandsons. Alike but different.
The strip pulls out from behind the matted front.










Another set for sisters. The larger hearts are drawn onto the ribbon with gel pens. It has a heart charm attached where as the other one has a heart "brad".
