Flower Valentines!


Yikes... so much for trying to blog more often on my craft blog! I am wayyyy behind here and I am sorry, but life has been busy with my little fragile Sonya! We have been through quite a bit these past few months including 3 broken bones, 4 surgeries and bisphosphonate treatment. I guess my craftiness has to be put on hold sometimes! I have been working on a few things here and there. I am almost finished a beautiful crocheted baby blanket for my sister's new baby girl Taylor and I just finished blinging out my daughter's pediatric walker seen here.

So, with Valentines just around the corner and my two older girls in school we have about 45 Valentines to either buy or make. Seeing as how this big snow storm is keeping us at home this week, we decided to make some!!! Enjoy!
Start out by cutting out a scalloped circle from patterned paper with your paper punch or die cut machine. Next, find a fun stamp and mark your scalloped circle! Our's says : "You make me happy, So sweet".
Cut out another scalloped circle of the same size from a solid card stock paper (this will be the back). Cut a heart shape from solid card stock paper with another punch or die. Have your child write the "To and From" part.
Using dimensional adhesive squares attach the heart to the solid card stock scalloped circle.
Using double sided tape or square adhesive photo mounts (really handy) attach both finished scalloped parts to each side of a lollipop!
Tie on some green ribbon to serve as leaves for your flower pop!

Happy Valentines Day!
