Welcome to our week long posts for Hip Hip Hooray for Valentines. Mel and I had so much fun bringing you our holiday edition we are back again with some projects filled with love.
This week I'll be sharing quite a few paper crafting projects. I used in total about 8 sheets of coordinating papers - keeping the left over bits each time to use on the next project. So do pop them to one side as you will use them up!
We have a mix of adults and children projects to suit you as well.
To kick off I have a layout for you. I have started setting up a little corner in the family room to display all my treats I am making and this layout is going there too :)
For this layout you will need
- 4 sheets of coordinating patterned paper
- adhesive
- 5 x7 landscape photos
- some ribbon or cord
- decorative scissors or a punch to make a scalloped edge
- rhinestones
- alphabet letters
- hole punch
Choose your papers
Cut three of your patterned papers to be strips of approximately 2 inches wide
Scallop one of them if you have a decorative punch or scissors.
Cut 9 or so hearts from the same papers - I have a cutter but you can just hand cut a heart shape if you don’t have one
Layer your strips down the bottom of your layout
Cut a mat to fit the size of your photo
Add your photo to your layout
Layer your hearts over the top
Add your title and add some rhinestones at the bottom of each heart
Hole punch down the side of your photo - and thread through some ribbon or cord
Tie the top in a bow and pop the bottom through to the back
Hang up somewhere to begin your Valentine display :)
Don't forget to pop over to Mels blog to see her first project too- hand made stamps :-)
See you tomorrow night for our next project . Make sure you let your friends know that we are running our series again.
