Valentines is Not Just for Lovers

I don't normally make a big deal out of Valentines. For those who know me, they know it's because my birthday is the next day, and I always feel ripped off. Much like those who have birthdays near Christmas time must feel. It's two separate celebrations people! So don't be going and getting me a Valentine Birthday card!

That being said, Creative Memories did come out with some fantastic new Valentine's paper, that is not so lovey dovey and I really like it. The stickers and embellishments are very Valentine focused however. I do think I did a good job at creating some things that are not so lover focused though. My daughter likes to get Valentines, and she wanted me to make her an album of just her cat Angel. I did that, but of course I could not stop there. So I made some cards that I thought were a mix of both Valentine, and wedding type, as well as some gift tags.

Check them out and let me know what you think!

I will also be hosting a workshop, so let me know if that interests you at all. I can do it in your home, or mine.

Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine Treat Ideas

Disclaimer: Just because I am posting some crap about Valentines, does not mean that I actually like the day itself!

So, I have been looking for some uses for my Fiskars Crimper, rather than just my coffee cup gift card holders, and I came across a great idea for Valentines. This is not my idea, I found it here on this blog, so check it out because it is a pretty great blog!

The instructions are great, however, I will change my measurements up a bit, and cut my paper 5.5 x 4 to make better use of a 12 x 12 sheet of paper. For some, I will cut 5.5 x 6, to have a larger tube to fit more candy, or bigger chocolates!

I thought these would be so cute for kids Valentines treats, or for your lover! These are really super easy to make, and I hope that you will try them.

At Christmas, when I was making some of my treat containers, I noticed that if I lay the template flat, it looks like a heart. So with my Stampin up, petal cone die, I decided to make some of these. They don't hold too much, so I didn't make that many.

And this is one of the cards I chose to make, because I love the stamp!

And of course in purple for a different occasion.

That's it for now! Have a super fabulous weekend, and stay warm. Snuggle, wear fuzzy socks, dance, eat soup......just stay warm!
