Papertrey Valentines…
Today is Ellie’s Valentine’s Day party at her school and I just **had** to make her Valentines to exchange. She fell in love with some princess mass production ones at the store. I got those for her, too, but she has just been coloring on them. Here is what I came up with…
I started with a Pure Poppy {Papertrey} scalloped heart {Nestabilities} and topped it with a straight edge heart {again with the Nestabilities} cut from Kraft cardstock that I embossed with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder. As you can see, my stitching leaves much to be desired…no surprise there, but I am getting a little better! I stamped the flower print heart in Pure Poppy ink on Stamper’s Select white and cut it out with scissors…no punch! I backed it with a sentiment flag and popped it on top of the Kraft heart using dimensional glue dots.
The reverse side is stamped with the XOXO stamp from the PTI set and I “signed” her name in white gel pen with a heart for the dot on the “i.” Tomorrow I will be showing you what I attached to these Valentines.
I have been guilty of getting PTI sets and not using them, but I have been more selective in my choices and I have found that I am using my choices more. Case in point, Heart Prints and Fresh Alphabet. I used both to create this card…
This layout is the result of tossing and turning because my brain can’t stop even when I desire sleep. I took several elements that I love to use and put them together on this card. I love the way that it turned out!
I have lots to show tomorrow…see ya then!!
Jen,
Extremely cute idea on the mass production of Ellie’s Valentine cards. I think that you did a great job stitching. This is the first card that I’ve seen using the Kraft card stock that I’ve really liked. Great job!
LOVE both!
OMG girl!! These are amazing!! I would’ve killed to give these out to my class when I was in school! Awesome!!
These are gorgeous! My fiance has been wanting me to come up with something for his students and I’ve been stumped for something easy enough to want to mass produce that I would still be satisfied with - this would be great!
Adorable valentines and I love that card!!
too too cute!!!
Oh my! I love the valentines for Ellie to give to her friends. My oldest is now at the stage where she wants to make her own, so I had to let go of that fun this year…maybe next year when #2 is in preschool I’ll get to have some fun again! I love the card too!
How sweet! I love how Ellie’s valentines look like little heart shape cookies - of course, like cookies Martha Stewart would decorate! Your daughter and her classmates are extremely lucky!!
What a good mommy — my poor kids… I’m not letting them look at your blog!!! And I LOVE the fresh & funky look of the kraft card — super cool!!!
So very cute!!
Love the card too, very fun!!
that is so sweet…you made such cute valentine’s day heart cards! you are so talented! I just added hearts to candy for my daughter to give to her friends =)
Love your valentines! How big are these? Just curious. Thanks.
FANTASTIC projects, as ALWAYS!
I love the Valentines! I’m a first grade teacher and I think it’s such a pity that none of the kids/parents make valentines anymore. I get the store bought to-from with no more meaning than the lolipop stuck to it. Thanks for sharing your creations!
I love this card and your valentines are so awesome! Happy Heart Day!
Wow Jen! The kids are lucky to have these in their Valentine boxes! So cute!
Oh goodness those are so cute!!! You didn’t seriously stitch them all did you? That must have taken forever!!! Definitely the best valentine’s in her class, school, city, state, etc.. hehehe
Those little valentines are so stinkin’ CUTE!!!!
I saw the Valentine’s last night on SCS and loved them! Your card is fabulous…love the fun layout and great elements!
You’re awesome Jen, I love both of these projects! Your stitching looks great by the way!!! Great job!
Those Valentines are super cute and I LOVE the card you made. The color combo is great and I love how you put everything together!
What cute Valentine’s!! Great job on the stitching - especially since you had so many to do. Love the other card too!
I think this may be one of my favorite posts! Love the valentines! =)
