Valentine Theme Week- Day 1

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m excited to be kicking things off with Valentine Theme Week! Pretty Pink Posh has lots of fabulous Valentine products to choose from and my projects today combine several older and newer items.  

**All items in the Valentine section are 15% off during theme week**

My littlest child completely influenced today’s projects. She has started making cards herself and loves to look through my stamps. Her favorites are always the cute critters, so I let her choose the ones she liked the best for her preschool valentines. I put these ones together, but she will most definitely be helping me make the rest.  

I created the valentines using the new Sweet Note die. I just love it! You can get three Sweet Notes from one 8.5×11 sheet of paper with a little leftover. After I cut valentines in several colors, I embossed the main outside panel on each with the heart from All My Love.

Then I die cut and attached a flag from Stitched Labels 1 to each note. The critters came next. 

Based off my little one’s favorites, I stamped and embossed several animals from Heart Critters and Sending Love. Then I used zig clean color real brush markers to color them. I hadn’t used these markers in a while, and it was fun to revisit them. After all the images were colored, I cut them out using the coordinating dies and popped them up with some dimensional foam. 

A little sprinkling of hearts from the Valentine’s Day and Sweet Love clay confetti mixes and the fronts were done.

I kept the backs simple but couldn’t help adding a little cuteness by stamping, die cutting, and layering different hearts from the Valentine Hearts stamp set.  

I attached the hearts to the center of the notch.  They look cute, and they also add a little extra security to keep the note closed if you tuck a treat inside.  

Speaking of treats, I was delighted to see that individual fruit snacks (or any snack/fun size candy package) fit perfectly inside the folded Sweet Note.  

Normally I would have decorated the inside of the note as well, but my little one is just learning how to write and she’ll need all that space to sign her name, so I left it blank. :)

Thanks so much for joining me today!  This week will be full of Valentine inspiration, so make sure to come back every day, and don’t forget to pick up some of your favorite Valentine products while they are on sale.
