HOW TO MAKE AN ACCORDION ENVELOPE FOR VALENTINE'S

With the right tool, this project can be very quick and simple. And that tool is the We R Memory Keepers 1-2-3 punch board! The idea of this super sweet Valentine accordion envelope is to dress it up cute, then fill it with all kinds of love notes or coupons. It can go two ways: playful and fun (for a child), or sweet and romantic. The choice is yours. To make one too, gather all the following items: TOOLS & MATERIALS: Double-sided Valentine card stock (mine is the "Be Min

I am not one to go out and buy decorations for Valentine's, but I don't mind making and displaying a few crafts around the house.

PRINTABLE ACCORDION VALENTINE CARD FOR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

With Valentine's only days away, let's not get caught up in the rush of finding the perfect Valentine's card last minute. Chances are, you won't have much luck. I've been there! So I created this accordion card specifically for a loved one. It's cute, it's romantic, and it's pretty small too (ladies, try slipping it in his back pocket and see if he notices *wink*). To print it, first download this PDF. Then I recommend printing on a white card stock (I always use this bra

VALENTINE CONFETTI GIFT WRAP

Am I ever in love with this confetti gift wrapping project! To make confetti gift wrap, you really need two things: confetti, which you can either buy in store or whip up yourself, and clear wrapping paper a.k.a. cellophane. I recently traveled to Target and bought the confetti for today's project. I found it in the Valentine's crafts (and it's made by Spritz). If you were to make it, give yourself plenty of time and use a paper trimmer (to make squares) or confetti punch (

TWO-STEP PAPER EMOJI VALENTINE'S (WITH FREE CUT FILE)

This is your basic cut and paste kind of project. But I have to admit, I had a little help from my friend: and that friend is my Silhouette CAMEO! If you're intending to make a lot of Valentine's, then this is the simplest and most time efficient project that you can do with your CAMEO. Plus, who doesn't love a good emoji or two? It's cuts everything for you, and you just have to paste! To make these emoji paper Valentine's, gather some card stock. Of course, I chose yello

Here is another flamingo-inspired Valentine project for you, friends. I'm not sure what it is about them that makes me think about love. Perhaps their colour? Whatever it is, they make a cute subject, Valentine's or not! For this project, you will need a Silhouette CAMEO (which is what I use for a lot of my projects). I'm not a good free hand cutter. You can certainly try that though, or substitute with a circle punch, but some free hand cutting will still be required for

EXPLODING HEARTS LARGE ENVELOPE GIFT TAGS

The tags you see in today's post are legit supersize tags (almost 6" long) because I used store-bought envelopes to make them. In doing so though, I saved a step plus some time (however if you wish, you can fully make the envelopes from scratch too using this tutorial). I took the envelopes from the Recollections 3" x 3" card and envelope pack that I buy at Michaels stores. I always seem to have leftover envelopes (my 5-year-old is a bit of a card thief), and I found that th

VALENTINE GIFT WRAP WITH "FRINGE" BENEFITS

A holiday presents every opportunity to give a gift, and to wrap it darn pretty too! For this project, I pulled out some party materials, fringe scissors, and a few craft supplies to create Valentine-inspired gift wrap. I worked with crepe paper streamers to give the presents a fringe look. My American Crafts fringe scissors are the perfect tool to work with for this project. Then I gathered other supplies such as letter stickers (like these Heidi Swapp ones), a heart punch
