Yay! We are so excited to share this fun project from guest designer, Michelle Houx! She's created a beautiful an amazing Valentine post featuring Echo Park’s Be My Valentine Paper Collection. Here's what Michelle has to say: This collection has all of your favorite Valentine colors as well as so many fun images and sayings to inspire your Valentine crafting this year. The two things I MUST craft this time of year... a Valentine Mailbox and of course, cards! This brings me back to my childhood when I would cover a shoebox with construction paper and stickers and hand write all those cards to my friends at school! How about you?
I cut the Valentine Mailbox using my Cricut and some pink, gold and glitter cardstock I had on hand, as well as the ‘B’ side of Box of Chocolates and Candy Hearts Paper. I love that this collection has both subtle and bold patterns to choose from. Then, I cut the large “Sweetheart” image from the 6x4 Journaling Cards. To finish the box I added a few heart sequins and stickers from the Be My Valentine Element Sticker Sheet. Seriously, who wouldn’t want to store all their love notes in here?!
The cards went together so quickly using the Pink & Gold Coordinating Solids Paper for the card bases as well as layering elements from the Valentine Floral Paper, 3x4 Journaling Cards, 6x4 Journaling Cards,4x6 Journaling Cards, 4x4 Journaling Cards, Ephemera and Sticker Sheet. I had fun cutting apart some of the journaling cards to create those cute little scenes you see on each card, as well as adding pieces of ephemera and a sticker or two.
This collection was so fun to work with and has really put me in the mood to make Valentine’s for all my loved ones.
Thank you for stopping by!
