Valentine Mini Cards

Over the weekend I attended the Itty Bitty Valentine class at Archiver's.  It was a lot of fun and I picked up some little tips along the way.  I feel like I really got the bang for my buck with this class.  We did so many different things!

Here are the projects we made (again, this was from Archiver's - not my ideas):

We made six 3x3 valentines and one mini bag.

I used Liquid Applique for the cupcake top.  I never knew you used a heat gun for this and it was so simple!  Inside the bottle cap is a quilled heart.  I've never done that before either and it also was easy!  I'd like to give this a closer look sometime.





Then we embellished the envelopes as well.  A fun tip I picked up here was to use a border punch on the envelope flap!  Makes it so cute!


If you live near an Archiver's and have a chance to take this class, it's definitely worth it! I can also say I've never had Valentines ready in January before!! :)

    Those are really cute! I did the mini valentine workshop last year and loved all the cards I made then. I really like that one with the quilling and the bottlecap. Maybe I have to make a trip to Archiver's! :)
