Country Farmhouse DIY Valentine Cards

 Hi Friends,

 I decided to make a weave heart pouch for chocolate goodies to give away. I found a very Valentine's card/basket for candies treats for the students in my reading groups. In this great book I thrifted a couple of months age.

It's that time! For a diy Valentine Card! So I took the challenge to  make these little weave basket heart card this year, for the students I have in small group reading.

They look so cute and the diy video made it look easy. So, Why not, I thought.  I can whip out these cards in know time.  Oh No!  It wasn't that easy for me, any way I persevered on.  lol  

I had the pieces cut out and the idea in my mind was to just slide the two  pieces together. It didn't happen that way.

In four and a half hours I had made 17 I needed 80 by Monday! What was I thinking?

I filled the little Valentine basket with candy and will give them to the grandkids for Valentines Day.

I hope I give you a little inspiration you to make Valentine Day special for your love ones.

Until next time, May God Bless You and Your Family,

Homemade Vintage Valentines Cards Project

Hi Friends,

I have been wanting to do this project for a long time.

I actually have a day off today so I'm going to make Valentines free printable bottle label and cupcake toppers free Vintage Valentine prints

Using red construction paper I cut out heart shapes with my Fiskars paper edgers

cut out the vintage valentine prints and glued them to the hearts.

I decided to add glitter pipe cleaners/chenille stems from Dollar Tree gluing around the picture, I tea stained a roll of white crepe streamer and glued around edge of the construction paper heart

using markers I added some more writing and outline some of the hearts

more free prints from vintage kids valentines cards

I cut out the prints and glued them on some colored card stock I had.  Using a sharpie I went around the hearts to highlight.

I also tea stained a couple of pages from a paper back book I no longer need to cut out little hearts and to make little roses I saw this technique from Tracy at Country Charm by Tracy making roses from crepe paper. 

Here is the finished project

I think they turned out so adorable and I really had fun making these vintage print valentines to give to friends and family.  Let me know which were your favorite. 

Thanks for stopping by and until the next celebration.  

Have a Great Day!
