Valentine Postage Collage

I just love the versatility of Eyelet Outlet products and was exited to create a wintery Valentine themed postage collage! In staying with a winter theme, I used the snowman couple brads as my focus and added white glitter washi tape for snow and a red enamel heart. Next, I stamped "you melt my heart" sentiment as well as some script, postage lines, and hearts.

I filled in my other postage stamp spaces with Happy Valentine's Day glitter washi, wintery glitter tall tree washi tape, and vintage washi tape! I added a few red rose brads to finish off my card!

And since I was having so much fun! I decided to decorate my envelope too! I added the skinny red and white washi tape and some Valentine themed stamps to finish off my project! I hope you enjoy! What a fun way to play with a variety of Eyelet Outlet washi tapes, brads and more!

You Are My Type!

 You are my type! I couldn't resist playing with the typewriter washi tape and typewriter brads to create a fun Valentine's Day card!

After stamping my typewriter and using an exacto knife to cut a place for my "typed" message, I adhered it to cardstock lined with typewriter washi tape. I embellished with heart enamels and brads. Lastly, I layered on cardstock lined with red stripe washi! I hope you take some time this Valentine season to create handmade cards to show love and appreciation!

February Calendar Planning

Welcome February, the month of love! "Let all you do be done in love." 1 Corinthians 16:14

 In my effort to be more organized in 2024, I am sharing my calendar pages for February! I am finding I enjoy planning so much more when the pages are colorful and creative! 

I began with stamping my various hearts and valentine themed stamps in a variety of pink and red inks! Next, I added my "Happy Valentine's Day" washi tape and vintage rose patterned washi to my pages. Lastly, I embellished with heart brads, heart enamel dots, and pink jewel dots.  

I am excited to stay on track and write in my plans for February! I hope this inspires you to keep planning your 2024 and stay organized in a creative way!

Bee My Valentine!

I love creating little Valentine gifts for friends and family! Here is a quick and fun way to show some love with a small gift!

I started with creating the largest tag on white cardstock and adding heart stamps, distress inks, "Happy Valentine's Day" glitter washi, and pink and red enamel hearts. I saved some room in the middle to write a little note. I then cut a smaller tag in red and added some pink hearts stamped, along with more "Happy Valentine's Day" glitter washi and enamel hearts. Next, I created my smallest tag, stamping the cute bee image, coloring in with markers, adding some prisma glitter, and embellishing with  my little bee brads. Lastly, I used a hole punch to connect all 3 tags and attached a tube of Chapstick with pink and red ribbons! 

 I hope this inspires you to shop all the adorable Valentine themed products at Eyelet Outlet and create some personal Valentine's for your friends and family!

I'd Pick You Valentine!!

 If friends were flowers... I'd pick you!

I have really enjoyed playing with all the fun Valentine accessories that Eyelet Outlet offers! For this card, I used the "Happy Valentine's Day" washi tape to create my striped background. I then stamped my image and layered on another piece of cardstock that I bordered with the purple glitter washi. After coloring my image with alcohol inks, I embellished by adding various enamel hearts and heart brads. Lastly, I layered my card on red cardstock! I hope you enjoy! Making Valentine's is a favorite of mine!

I Love Ewe

 
I always have a great time with Valentine's Day cards. I think it's so fun to use funny puns and jokes. I guess it reminds me of all those valentine cards I used to get at school. Today is a Valentine in that spirit.

For some reason, I get a kick out of making a valentine that at first glance might look elegant and romantic. However, a closer look hopefully promotes a chuckle or at least a smile. This one features EO's Pig and Sheep Brads. One Ewe (female sheep) is in the clouds with our Sun and Clouds Brads and Glitter Star Washi Tape. The LOVE letters were cut from chipboard covered with Daisy Washi Tape. The pattern on these letters create chipboard letters I would never be able to have otherwise. Finally I added another Ewe and Heart Enamels-Pink. To make it just a little more interesting, I used a 3D embossing folder to create the textured background. The "ewe" sentiment was stamped using individual letter stamps.

I only have eyes for you!

 Who loves making Valentines?

I am loving these adorable pink and red enamel hearts! They are so fun to play with! I was inspired to create this card using my enamel hearts and owl adhesive! Owls are such lovely creatures with big, dreamy eyes and "I only have eyes for you" seemed like the perfect sentiment! I also added a row of pearl brads to the bottom right for a little extra embellishment! I hope you have started on your valentines to share love with those you love!

Be My Valentine!

 I love creating little Valentine's to share with friends and family!

I have created a selection of Valentine's that would be great to slip in your child's lunchbox or mail to a friend! I loved adding the adorable accessories, brads, and bling from Eyelet Outlet!

In creating the tag style bookmark valentine, I stamped my kitten image and colored in with alcohol markers. I then added the purple pearls across the top and cut the paw to add a heart enamel sticker! For the second valentine in this picture, I stamped my mouse and used chalks to color her in. I then added a row of heart enamel stickers with one sparkly, jewel heart!

In creating the "bumble bee valentine", I stamped my image in black ink, colored with alcohol markers, and added some sparkle to her wings! I then used the bumble bee brads to embellish the bottom corner. Lastly, the "wildthing" valentine card just makes me smile!! So fun! I stamped my sentiment and gorilla in black and colored in using alcohol markers. For my embellishments I used the monkey brads from the jungle pack and added enamel heart stickers! 

I hope you have found some inspiration to make your own valentine cards this month for those you love! Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for your crafting needs!
