Valentine's Day - Heart and Banner

During a craft day with my sister-in-law, we each made a Valentine's Day heart - made with thousands of coffee filters, lightly sprayed it pink, added some fun themed ephemera ~ Finch playing cards, handmade rosettes, a hand stamped metal banner and finished it up with a pink ribbon.





Here is a 'Be Mine Valentine' Banner

I made the base of each banner section with sheet music. I cut the letters out of chipboard, then punched the chipboard out with a scallop punch and added a gun metal glitter. I made a crepe paper ruffle and topped it off with the letter.

Paper Christmas Trees

Here are two Christmas Trees I made from books.

This tree is made from a book that has the cover removed, and then folded (I am going to make a tutorial on this in the future).



This tree is an Anthropologie-Inspired tree.

Snowman Signs

Here are some Snowman signs I painted....not all are typical Christmas colors, but that's what makes them fun!

I love roses, so I painted some snowman and added some yummy pink roses.




This sign has some pine boughs and holly berries - they almost look like you could pick them off and eat them.
