You've Got Mail
Okay, okay, I know the title is super cheesy but I'm a sucker for cheesy movies, puns and titles! With the idea of cheesy romance in mind I wanted to share with you these super cute Valentine's Day Coupons that I made for my hubby using the new Lawn Fawn Valentine's Day Release. As soon as I saw the Stitched Heart Envelope I knew I wanted to make these!
I began by cutting a dozen of the Stitched Heart Envelopes out of some mid-weight patterned paper in my stash (I believe these are all from a Dear Lizzy release). I really hate to waste any of my pretty papers so I cut them to 7" x 12", held up the die and cut outside of the die to make two envelopes out of each piece. Next I cut 12 of the cute scalloped tags out for the front using a fun polka dotted paper, and then the sentiments using a red paper all from the same Dear Lizzy collection. After folding all of my envelopes I adhered the labels to the fronts with glue dots. I ran the sentiments through my little Xyron sticker maker and adhered those. On the envelopes where I used two heart dies (I had three) I stamped some sentiments from the new Love Letters stamp set with Cranberry ink, they look like little candy hearts... seriously too cute!
To finish off my coupons I had to create the actual coupons... I just created a Microsoft Word document and came up with ideas that would be fun for my Honey (I would be happy to share after Valentine's Day). I wanted the insides to be cute too so I cut each little coupon out with one of the dies from the Small Stitched Rectangles set.
I found this super adorable little felt mailbox in the $1 spot at Target and it is the perfect little container for these coupons! For once I am actually super early and really excited to give him this Valentine's Day gift!
Happy New Year everyone!
Please excuse the strange redness in the photo,
it is snowing outside and I had the toughest time getting
a shot that wasn't too blue! I will try and get some better photos posted soon!
