Are you crafty? Me neither. If I give my love a card, it’s generally something pretty I found at Hallmark or Target. But…there are so many adorable and simple DIY Valentines out there! I am going to take some initiative this year. Because I know A. will really appreciate the extra effort. Because he loves cards. And poems. And Valentine’s Day. me.
The beauty above is a sewn paper Valentine by Molly at the purl bee. Now that K. has a sewing machine, I am fully expecting one of these in my mailbox.
No sewing skills? Don’t fret – you could make these cutesy doily envelopes a la Martha:
Or, if you really want to get your craft on, go the extra mile and make a pop-up card:
And, lastly, if you’re crafty like me, you’ll stop pretending that you know where to buy doilies and just find something awesome you can print out. And fill with brownies. Yes.
Have a sweet Tuesday,






I’m all about the printed-out goodie bags. I want me some. Bags…and goodies!
