Valentines round-up

Love is in the air so I though I would do a wee round up of some of my Valentines projects over the last few years!

This year was a papercut Valentine's Card.

Last year I made a  Bell Heart,

and a tiny glitter heart canvas, paint canvas red, wait to dry, then glue a heart shape and sprinkle glitter over!

The year before I made heart wreath, inspired by a picture I saw somewhere in blogland and can't find again...

 

I cut the heart from heavy duty card (but need to remake it using some hardboard or something as it has flopped). I wound a strip of cream fleece around the heart then stuck rosettes made of scrap muslin to it with a few tartan rosettes to add a bit of colour. Simple.

Now to fix my floppy wreath!

Love: Chipboard Letter 'Art'

I have a motto for life:

'Love all mankind as you would yourself' 

whether you are religious or not I think if everyone adopted this attitude the world would be a lot nicer place to live in!

I made this

a couple of years ago and it used to hang on the picture wall at the old house (yet to find a space here...) but I fancied something a bit more colourful so, using some chipboard letters from my stash, I russled up this

It was so simple to do:

I took a canvas that has been at the bottom of a drawer for a year (hence the dents you can see in the pics) and checked my letters would fit.

 Then decided the plain canvas was a bit dull and, seeing an opportunity to use some of my glitter mountain, put double sided tape round the edges of the canvas then glittered them.

I then stuck the letters on using a ruler to make sure they were straight.

I love how it turned out, simple but colourful!
