Candy Heart Valentine’s Day Cards

February 6, 2017~ Cricut, valentine's day

Aren’t you guys lucky! A double header of Valentine’s day crafts and DIYs! And all this from a couple who don’t celebrate Valentine’s day, rather a month of love. Because we have so many occasions to celebrate in February I need a few cards to help me express all that love for my hunk.  I teamed up with 9 other amazing DIY bloggers to bring you 10 fun and original Valentine’s day cards, so make sure you check them out! (head to the bottom of the post for the links)

*Cricut sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own.  Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

I made myself some super sweet and super cute DIY candy heart valentine's day cards this year using my Cricut and some bold colours.

I happen to love conversation hearts more than anyone else in the world, so it was only natural that I should make cards that look like them! Bonus points because the design was the first one that jumped-out at me when I was causing through the Cricut Design Space. I snagged the cut for 0.99$ and was able to put my growing collection of card stock to good use. I’ve been slowly accumulating fun colours, patterns and textures at our local Michaels, so it was high time I actually use them. I bought a box to hold them specifically, so things may have been getting out of hand 😉

Materials

  • Cricut Explore Air™ 2
  • Cricut Tools Basic Set
  • Cricut Cutting Mat Variety pack
  • Cricut deep cut blade (if you plan on using glitter card stock)
  • Glue
  • Scrapbook cardstock

 

Step 1: Load the Candy Hearts (#M30CA0) cuts into your design space. There are 5 cuts to make, and I played around with the colours in order to get some fun contrasts. I also found that there was an extra heart being cut, and I couldn’t figure out where it went when I was assembling it! If that happens to you as well, don’t worry!

Step 2: As you cycle through the cuts, don’t forget to play around with colours and textures. It’ll add a fun dimension to them, and keep them looking fresh and bold.  When in doubt, go for contrast!

Step 3: When it comes to assembling them, you’re using one central colour, and then accenting it with a different coloured drop shadow, and a different coloured face. The wording on each heart will then be a different colour, so remember to glue from the bottom up.

For gluing you’ll want to use a light-weight white school glue. It can’t be too heavy of create an irregular surface as it’ll show under all the layers. You want a glue that will self-level

I placed mine under a heavy stack of books to help flatten them as they dried!

Step 4: Because I sized mine a little bigger than the standard envelope, I made myself some fun complimentary ones using a few simple folds and some glue.

Step 5: After the hearts are assembled and they’re ready to go! Write on the back or on the front, and away they go. You can also pack yours with some confetti and glitter for an extra kick.

I’m showing you how they’d ideally look come February 14th – or whatever other moment for displays of love you have planned – champagne, cake, and some candy!

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
