Valentine Coupon Book
Posted by christy

Here is a little coupon book that I made for my husband three years ago for Valentine's Day. I used a few different Stampin' Up sets to make it. I'm pretty sure they are all retired now but I'm posting this now more for the idea and less for you wanting to make an exact replica. The inside used the Create a Coupon stamp set. Each coupon has a perforation on the inside edge for easy removal. I did that using the perforation tool from the Stampin' Up cutter kit. I layered the ... more »

My sister-in-law emailed me about these (her sister makes them) and I thought they were great. I don't know if she does custom letteri... more »
Make. No Sew Valentine Heart Garland

This heart garland was made because I am mostly a lazy crafter. I wanted to make a little heart garland like some I've seen where they sew paper in a sewing machine. But, I realized that I have blue thread in my machine and I was too lazy to change it. Instead, I came up with a different way to hang my heart garland and I like it a lot! You need the most basic of supplies. Paper, scissors, ribbon, and a hole punch. I used double sided designer paper and regular red cardstock. I stru... more »
Make. Candy Cane Hearts
Posted by christy

I think I've found the most inexpensive valentine treat ever. I made 43 candy cane hearts for under $1. Total. These will be just perfect for all of the cute kids in class with my kids. I found the mini candy canes on clearance at CVS for $.19 a box. I bought two boxes of 50 candy canes each. Some of the candy canes were broken and or not quite the right shape so I ended up with 43 favors. In addition to the candy canes, I used some gingham ribbon, white and red cardstock, and a h... more »
