Personalized Valentines for the Class from a Little Artist

A relative alerted me to this darling Valentines craft from Blonde Designs which I quickly pinned. I knew it was the perfect project for my little artist.

I simply printed the template on cardstock, cut it on the crop marks and then scored it so it would fold over. My little one then personalized each illustration for everyone in her class.

Although the candy is cute {btw when did Valentine’s Day turn into Halloween?!}, I decided to go a different route for the “goodie.” I found mini color pencil sets that although are a little bigger than the tag, looked great and embraced the artist theme.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to share some very cute cards from Paper Source. The guitar and little critter cards come as a kit and would make a great craft project for your child.

Although not a card, I also love this Quilled Heart Garland. Wouldn’t it be cute hanging in a window?

Love it: DIY Valentine’s Cards and Decorating Ideas

February 14th is just a few weeks away. Traditionally I don’t decorate my home for this holiday of love, but just might after being inspired by so many DIY ideas {many from fellow bloggers}. Here are some of my favorite DIY Valentine’s projects to help you say, “I love you”.

This romantic heart shaped wreath with fabric roses would look great on almost any front door. Crafty mom, Maggie at Smashed Peas and Carrots created this festive wreath and has a wonderful tutorial here.

Dressing up a console table with these darling frames reading XOXO is a great way to spread some love this Valentine’s Day. Jennifer at Tatertots and Jello created this marble craft project and shows us how here.

Paper heart garland is an inexpensive and colorful way to decorate your home for Valentine’s Day. Secret Pie Shoppe designed this version and has a great how-to here.

One place to hang Valentine garland would be your fireplace mantel. I love how Beth at The Stories of A to Z decorated her mantel for Valentine’s Day.

I love this sweet origami heart, but haven’t a clue how to make it. Blogger, Sonja at Craft-Werk has a great tutorial on how-to make these little paper hearts. She swears it is easy as pie.

For tea lovers, this is a perfect way to start Valentine’s Day off right. Martha Stewart shows us how here.

This Rosy Stationary by Martha Stewart {again} was made using the end of a head of Treviso radicchio as a stamp. Kill two birds with one stone – eat a fresh leafy green salad and make darling Valentine’s! Here’s the how-to.

Disney’s Family Fun show how to make this darling “Plant One On Me” card. It includes a packet of seeds for a fun project later!

Now, where to put all those darling Valentine’s cards and projects? The talented folks at Paper Source transformed this simple file folder into a fun place to keep those Valentine greetings. Printed on the outside is a recipe for love. aaahhh.

No time for DIY projects? The Doodle Spot sells this darling “Crazy 4 You!” mini mailbox. It is also perfect for all those heartfelt notes.

xoxo
