CELEBRATIONS: Vintage Button Heart

I had this idea to use up some of my vintage buttons and create a little heart on an embroidery hoop. I naively thought that I had come up with some sort of original idea to create a little heart. Ha – I checked Pinterest and I discovered there are entire boards dedicated to button hearts on embroidery hoops. There are even hearts using red thread which again I thought would be original. Oh well, I decided to go ahead and create the little project that I had visualized even if it’s been done many, many times.

INKLING: Lifestyle Crafts Embossing {Valentine Cards}

Last month, I revealed that I’m on the Lifestyle Crafts Home and Organization Studio Design Team. It’s so fun learning to use the Lifestyle Crafts tools and as I mentioned, I’ll be posting my adventures so that you can learn along with me.

Celebrations: decoupage heart & arrow

Valentine’s Day seems to be bring out the soft sweet side of me. It’s usually buried somewhere deep down inside and does makes an appearance every now and then.

Inkling: diy valentine cards from Martha Stewart {and a giveaway}

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching so if you’re planning on making goodies or if your little ones are planning on passing out cards to their classmates, it’s time to get going and make those cards and tags.

Fortunately, I received DIY Valentine's Day Card supplies from Martha Stewart Crafts and so I got busy making some tags I’ll use on goodies.

Celebrations: a valentine sweater vase

I’m cutting up sweaters like crazy over here. Last week I shared a sweater coffee can storage idea and today I’m showing you a valentine sweater vase.

Little Craft: valentine twig arrows

Here’s a sweet little project that your little crafters can make for Valentine’s Day.

Make some simple Valentine Cupid’s arrows out of items on hand like twigs and felt. Use craft glue to adhere the felt arrow heads and feathers to the twig. 

Add baker’s twine or even attach a sweet message. For little crafters who are too young for twigs, you can use straws instead of twigs. 

A fun project to make with your little crafters and a nice alternative to the box of grocery store Valentine cards. 

Thanks for visiting.

Inkling: vintage valentine’s graphics

It’s still not too late to make Valentine tags to use on gifts and goodies. I made these tags with vintage clipart from the Graphics Fairy.

    

The original graphics were in color. I loved the beautiful colors but wanted to give these tags a more vintage feel. I converted the images to black and white and mounted them on manila hang tags.

You can use these tags on packages, flowers or baked goods.

And, if Valentine’s Day isn’t your thing, these vintage bird graphics can be used year-round.

Wishing you all a Valentine’s Day filled with happiness and love.

Etceteras: twine hearts

More Valentine fun. I made these little twine wrapped hearts with the intention of making a garland. I’m still figuring out how I want to finish up the garland.

In the meantime, I thought they would be fun to use as embellishments for packages and other goodies.

Give your sweetheart a message in a bottle. Use a recycled bottle and add a fun label. Cork the bottle with a rolled up piece of corrugated cardboard.

 

This label is courtesy of the Graphics Fairy. If you haven’t visited the Graphics Fairy – head on over. The site is brimming with vintage graphics, labels and clip art.

The twine wrapped heart also makes a nice embellishment on a gift package.

Now, I need to finish up that garland.
