Happy Valentine's Day- Cupcake Wrappers


Happy Valentine's Day!! Here's a sweet treat for you! These cute Hugs & Kisses cupcake wrappers made from the Cricut Cartridge, Cupcake wrappers!! My SIL picked this one out for me for Christmas and I am just now getting to use it! I made these for the twins' party, and a few extra to enjoy here at home! They are cut at 8 inches using the Fit to Length feature on my Cricut. Don't overfill the cupcake batter or they won't fit down in the wrapper. I found out the hard way! Happy crafting!!

Altered Mailboxes





Happy Valentine's Day!! I have loved these little mailboxes for years, but I was always too late to get them out of the dollar bins at Target. Not this year!! I just so happened to be there on the first day they put some out, and I bought one for each of my kids. I decided that I needed a couple of more, so I went back just a couple of days later, and they were already gone!


All of the printed paper and some of the cut-outs are from the We R Memory Keepers Be My Valentine kit. I had to use some Wonder Tape to attach the paper to the mailbox. My flag could not be removed. So to get the paper around it, I marked where the flag base was, and punched a couple of holes in my paper. Then I cut a slit from the side of the paper to the hole. You should be able to slide the flag through the slit and then glue the paper around it.


I also used my EK Success Slimline punch and a heart punch. The letters are cut from my Lyrical Letters cartridge. Happy crafting!!

Valentine Suckers




With so many projects to finish, I decided that it might be better to skip making the Valentine's Day goodie bags. I thought making these super easy sucker toppers would be faster and be just as cute! The stamps are both from the dollar bin at Michael's and the punched out hearts are from the same punch, I just used both parts! I had to use some heavy duty glue to get it to stick to the wrapper, but it worked. I would have liked to made cute cut-out characters for the kids, but time was just not on my side!! Now on to the next project!! Happy crafting!!
