3 DIY Valentine Ideas

I’ve had this project in my stash for almost two years!  It all started when Canson sent a box of their amazing  printable papers.Definitely the watercolor paper is my favorite to print on, but they come in all sorts of papers.The first photo I altered in PicMonkey, adding the Polaroid frame.  It came out distressed like this.  So easy to mount with the Canson photo corners onto scrapbook paper.  Then I added the XOXO embellishment.  Sweet and simple.Same idea here except this time I punched holes around the edge and laced it with chunky yarn.  Lacing.  This simple stitched border makes my heart flutter in all it’s homemade-ness.  Perfect for grandma!The last idea is a fave.  My friend sent some scans of a little bug drawing by her daughter, Lily.  I printed them and colored with Koi watercolor markers from Sakura.Your kids would have a blast coloring their own art work (obviously)!Because these were intended to be Valentines (and that I love layers and hearts and needed an excuse to add more), these little love bugs got a set of heart wings made from scrapbooking paper.Mount them on solid paper and you’re ready to rock, Valentine!
