i just wanted to share another fun project i made using the love release from lifestyle crafts.
i used felt, and cut out a scalloped heart and embroidered love on one side. then i added batting cotton to the inside and used turquoise to stitch up the heart. i just love the color combination!
i’m getting really excited for valentine’s day! how about you!? are you working on any fun projects for valentine’s day?

my next project i did for the lifestyle crafts design team using the items from the love release was this “love” banner. {inspired by this bethany lowe one}
i’ll be honest, i was skeptical about the whole die cutting machine since i am not a scrapbooker at all, but i have found a lot of ways to use it, like with this banner.
i used the nesting heart dies for the banner, card board from a cheerio box, vintage music sheets, modge podge, glitter, chip board letters, tinsel, a hot glue gun, and red glittery pipe cleaners.
i just used the modge podge glue to glue on the music sheet hearts to the cardboard ones i made with the die cuts. then glued on the rest.
this was a great little project, and a banner that i have been wanting to make for valentine’s day for a while.

can you believe that valentine’s day is only one month away!?
it seems like you just finish one holiday, and you turn around, and there is another.
i have been working with lifestyle crafts as a member of their new design team, and was able to get a kick start on some valentine’s day decorations.
lifestyle crafts has just released their love release, full of some great die cuts that have been really fun to work with!
i made my own version of a fun bethany lowe valentine’s box, that was really easy to make with some of the nesting heart dies, and arrows.
i used cardboard, some vintage music sheets (of course), glitter, modge podge, hot glue, tinsel, and pipe cleaners.
i used the cardboard from a cheerio box, the die cuts were able to cute it nicely. i figure i’m recycling too! you can easily cover this up with some of the vintage music sheets, i just wanted to show you the materials i used..
pretty fun!
i’ll share some more valentine inspired things soon!
