Counting down to Valentine's Day

2/3/2013

This little Valentine project probably took me longer than necessary, but I was having fun hand-making the envelopes out of brown paper lunch sacks.  First, I cut the sacks open & traced an old template/stencil onto them.  After cutting out the envelopes,  I cut & glued in liners that would coordinate with the note cards I planned to make.  They looked adorable after they were folded and adhered together.  I used my Cricut (personal cutter) & Design Studio for the letters, numbers, larger hearts, and cards.  For the smaller hearts (I layered), I used an old Creative Memories punch.  The hearts with the dates are just attached to the lower portion of the mini-envelopes to hold the flaps shut.  Plus, I wanted to use some Valentine-themed stamps.  So, I hand-stamped the poster-board with some of Close To My Heart's acrylic stamps.  Using the little note-cards, I hand-wrote little quotes or caring messages to my family.  Now it's hung up and looks super cute!  However, I can't take the credit...I got the basic idea from a tutorial on Smashed Peas & Carrots.

    About me...

    My name is Candie.  Many labels describe me including wife, mom, friend, and independent consultant.  However, alone, none of them capture all that I am or love and there are too many to list.  Some of my likes include cooking, crafting, and creating.  Reading, camping, and spending time with my family also bring me joy.  I love my life...
