Kiddos' Valentines

Thanks to the rain on Monday valentines were completed for classmates...

Sydney's was made with retired designer series paper that I cut with the Big Shot Scallop #2 die. Just simply wrapped it around the pencil, stapled it, and covered the staple with the tag from the stamp set "Happy Heart Day" that had been punched out with the small tag punch that was popped up with a dimensional. (The other two wrote her name on all the tags, thankfully!!)

J.R.'s was probably the fastest valentine. He stuffed the jar of playdough in the cello bag, folded the bag over, and stapled the top. I cut 4"x4" pieces of a retired designer series paper (boy colors that he insisted on), folded them in half, and adhered them to the top of the cello bag with SNAIL adhesive. He then added a tag from the stamp set "Happy Heart Day" that had been punched out with the small tag punch that was popped up with a dimensional.

We had actually started Sierra's valentines last week but then when she got sick she just didn't have the motivation to do anymore. We cut the Box #2 die using the Big Shot. We were going to wheel hearts all over the box but just didn't have the time or energy to do it so we just went with plain boxes. I put the boxes together for her with just one little piece of sticky strip. She added the playdough jar, closed up the box, and attached a popped-up heart tag that she had punched out with the Full Heart punch that she wrote her name on.
Now we're ready for the Valentine Day celebrations!!!
