Valentine on a Budget


For the month of February Lowri set a blog theme of LOVE, LOVE, LOVE over at Artfull Crafts. Since I love to craft on a budget, I created these four Valentine cards and two gift tags using just US$9 of supplies (plus some bits and bobs from my stash).



Here are the four the MME Love Me products I used : Die-Cut Accessories Sheet, Doilies paper, Love paper, Pink Hex paper.  And a pack of Kaisercraft Crimson Sparklets. Virtually everything was used up for my projects so hooray for not growing my stash pile.     



Sweetie I Love U paired a check panel (from the Doilies paper) and an xoxo panel (from the Pink Hex paper) with various die-cuts. Embellies from my stash included push pins, buttons, cabuchon flower. Everthing was then glued down on pink cardstock.


This was for Amy

These two tags could not be easier to make. Just popped out the die-cuts and glued them together. Only the large doily required fussy-cutting from the Love paper. Thread on some pretty stripe ribbons and I was done.

Smitten went out to Cheryl

The cardbase for Hugs N Kisses is the ledger pattern from the Love paper. The upper part is covered with the red Doilies paper and a tag filled with a whole pack of Sparklets. The rest are die-cuts.


This was for Jaime
