Vintage Valentine's Day Printables



Hi guys!

Just popping in today to share a couple of vintage printable images you can use for Valentine cards, tags or other creative projects. 





This vintage sheet music is from my own collection, and I've used it for several projects over the last couple of years. 





I decoupaged it to the love letter box that is on my Vintage Door Valentine Mantel right now. {Also shown in my blog header}

This would be really cute to make Valentine cones with, decoupage a keepsake box or even as a fun element on your vintage romantic Valentine's Day table. This could be the starting point for a sweet anniversary project, as well. The possibilities are endless! 






This sweet vintage postcard is also from my collection. Although it mentions a "get well message" on the edge, that is easily covered with ribbon or paper {or snipped off}. Of course, it could be used as a get well card, too : ) 




This postcard was the starting point for the wedding invitations I created for my daughter's DIY budget wedding {more about that here}

Simply right-click the images to save to your computer, and print in any size you need. For the postcard, you could also edit it with PicMonkey to add your own printed text. 

Happy Valentine creating, friends!

Simple Cupcake Liner Heart




We are getting our first big snow here in western Colorado since we got back from southern California two weeks ago. 

Today I'm showing you a simple Valentine craft, perfect for a snowy, staying-in-the-house kind of day. 





Here's what you'll need:

Scrap cardboard for the heart frame
Cupcake liners 
Sharp scissors
Hot glue gun
Ribbon or strip of fabric to make a hanger for the heart




Cut out a heart shaped frame from a piece of cardboard (I used a piece of a box left over from Christmas) The edges don't need to be perfect because they will be covered. My heart is approximately 10" tall.





Shape the cupcake liners into a flower shape by gathering the top edge together and twisting the bottom. 










Flatten down the twisted bottom of the cupcake liners a bit and hot glue to the cardboard heart frame. I used about 25 for my heart, as a point of reference. Just fill in as full as you need to so there's no cardboard showing through. 




You could punch a hole in the cardboard heart frame (before gluing on the cupcake liners) for a hanger. But for this one, I just used hot glue to attach a strip of white cotton fabric







I hung mine with a cute vintage key. 



How simple is that? 

Hope you're staying cozy, friends!
