Quick Be Mine Valentine Banner

Woah! Valentine’s Day is coming up quick and an easy Be Mine banner is the perfect addition to your decor. You can get heart cut outs of wood or even felt and make this banner! I just happened to make my hearts on the Glowforge and I’m using Therm O Web’s deco foil® to decorate it!

Materials I used:


How I made it:

  1. I painted the hearts with the dye. And let it dry. TIP: I used a heat gun to help the drying process go a little faster!

2. Once the dye was dry, I used the deco foil® Liquid Adhesive to draw out the letters for BE MINE. This adhesive does have to dry before you can apply the foil. So, let it dry about an hour.

3. Cut the foil into pieces that would fit on your adhesive. Cutting it to size helps cut down on waste of the extra foil. Apply the foil over the dry adhesive and smooth down making sure to get the sides of the glue as well. Remove the waste.

4. String the hearts on the twine. TIP: If you are using hearts from felt or store bought hearts that don’t have holes in it, you an just hot glue the hearts to the twine or ribbon.

5. Then hang it up and look at your quick, easy and cute project!!!

Will You Be My Gumdrop? Valentine

Craft Lightning is here again and this time it’s to celebrate obscure holidays!  I picked National Gumdrop day, February 15th, which just happens to be the day after Valentine’s Day!   So, why not make a Will You Be My Gumdrop Valentine!  I’ve created this cute card using my Cricut Explore.  Here is how you can make your own, even if you don’t have a Cricut!

Materials:

Cardstock:  white, pink, yellow, orange, green, a bright colored piece

Cricut Explore (or Maker) or a pair of scissors

Cricut cutting mat

Cricut Marker, Regular Marker or Stamps

Adhesive (I’m using a Xyron Sticker Maker and an Aleene’s tape runner)

Will You Be My Gumdrop? .svg cut file or .pdf file if you don’t have a Cricut

Box of Grumdrops!

Instructions:

Download the files and cut the pieces or cut them out by hand.

Using a Xyron Sticker maker, I made my gumdrops into stickers and attached them to the card.  

You can write the words with your Cricut, you can hand write them or you can do what I did and use stamps.

Using a tape runner, I attached the Valentine cardstock cut out to a colorful piece of cardstock!

Then it was ready to give to a sweet little Valentine just in time for National Gum Drop Day!

Hope you like this quick and easy Valentine for National Gum Drop Day!
