A Dozen Simple Valentines!

January 27, 2020 By Karen 5 Comments

Just using the Heartfelt Bundle, the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Heart Doilies along with some red and white cardstock will give you an unending variety of Valentine cards.

Card #1

Recently on a Facebook Live, which can be found at the end of this post, I created twelve cards, many of them right on the spot. Tim made it a Baker’s Dozen by adding a 13th.

Card #2:

Put these supplies on the table and have fun seeing what you come up with … and if you have kids, they will love making their Valentines with this!

Card #3:

Of course, hearts aren’t just for Valentines either. They are great for birthday cards, for “thank you from the bottom of my heart” or “heartfelt thanks” cards.

Card #4:

***Now for the fun part!!!

Vote for your favorite card by leaving a comment right here on this blog post – go to the top and right under the title “A Dozen Simple Valentines” click on “comment”. We will send a card to eight different people who respond by Sunday February 2. Maybe you will get an early Valentine card from us!

Card #5

Folding the doilies in half and attaching them at the ends creates this fun card.

Card #7:

Card #8:

Card #9:

Card #10:

Card #12:

Card # 13: Tim’s original “smudging” technique

So… which is your favorite and why??? Leave us a comment!

8 Rules of Chocolate for Your Valentine Treats!

January 22, 2020 By Karen Leave a Comment

Chocolate rules for Valentine’s Day Treats and for any other occasion… because any occasion calls for chocolate.

Have some fun giving this to a friend for no reason – or to bring when a group of friends get together. You can all enjoy a laugh and then split the candy bar. I used a supersized candy bar for this treat – but you can easily adapt this to a smaller bar.

Those classic Sweethearts candy! This is a cute way to wrap them up – and to make a kid wonder how the magic happens!

These quick packages are made with just the heart punches, the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper and a clear envelope. We made these for my mom and her roommate in the nursing home. We used mom’s favorite candy of course!

And Tim made for me – a brownie in one of the cute Heart Foil Tins. If your kids or grandkids like to bake, they would love making these for friends or to decorate the table!

You can see all of these projects being made in this video. Just go to 7:05 if you want to see just these projects.
