14 Days of Valentines

My best friend Wendy came over with this idea from Pinterest.  How about giving that special someone a treat every day from February 1st until February 14th?  Why yes, we can whip this out quick. A fun way to treat your Valentine! 

Print the sayings from this PDF here. Cut sayings into 2" x 2" squares.

Add some fun pattern paper for a pop of color. 2.25" x 2.25" squares.

Cut tags from the Cricut Craft Room file here. Tags are 2.5" x approx 3" tall.

Glue the pieces together and add some curling ribbon. Done.

You will find dollar deals of all kinds with lots of options - so be creative! 

Import the following Cricut Craft Room file to see layers of different tags from all 3 of our Close To My Heart cartridges.  (there is also a layer of hearts from the Art Philosophy cartridge just for fun)

Importing/Exporting Instructions:

1- Click on the link above for the Cricut Craft Room file.(there will be a box that says "no preview", but you will click the "download" arrow)
2- Download the file to your computer, either to your desktop or make a folder to hold all your CCR files.
3- Open the Cricut Craftroom program. Go to the "MyProjects" folder icon. It will pop up a window with a list of existing projects and a button on the bottom to "Import".
4- Choose the file from your desktop or download folder.
5- Highlight the file you want to open and click "Open".
It's that easy - enjoy!  (need a visual? watch a YouTube video)
