Love is all you need

{ a DIY heart stamped card}

I have seen Valentine projects all over the net. And although Valentine’s Day seems to be a big thing in America, with generally showing your love to all, here in Europe it is still very much an occasion of showing love only to that one very special person in your life.

There are a few days left to Valentine’s Day and you have plenty of time to put together and nice card or /and some chocolates. And what better way to show your love than with something that you made yourself.

So here is a very simple idea for a heart stamped card…it took no time at all!

  You’ll need:

A smiley baby ( optional) - check out those four teeth, what a cute grin!

White card

Exacto knife

Champagne cork (you do have a whole jar where you collect them for craft projects, don’t you)

Water colours and brush plus some water

 

Draw a heart on the cork and cut around it using the exacto knife. Use the brush to apply first red than pink colour and start stamping the card. Wait a few minutes until the red hearts are dry and than stamp the pink hearts. Repeat once or twice so some of the hearts overlap. I stamped more hearts on the bottom and fewer in the middle and top part of the card.

Another simple idea is to put washi tape around tea lights and display them around the house. Pink and red washi tape would off course be perfect for the occasion.

And have your tired pink Tic Tac ? It can't replace chocolate but it is strawberry flavoured and actually quite yummy.

Wishing you all a lovely Monday!

Love,
