Love Notes For Your Valentine...

This Valentine project is simple to do, 

but does take a little bit of time to create if you make a lot of love notes.

Stamp using red ink and letters - 'Open when you first  get these' on  the first envelope.

Put a word box sticker on each envelope.

Use a chalk paint pen to write  'Love Notes' on the word box.

Decorate with stick-ons of your choice.

On each envelope thereafter Stamp a message.

Get the idea?

Then inside each envelope write on a slip of paper a little Love Note that is relevant to what you have stamped on the front.

Next create a little tag to your Valentine...

Bind the Love Notes with a ribbon and add the tag.

A gift that is truly 

something personal for your Valentine.

 One that is full of your heartfelt love.

Sugar Cookies

Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350°F)

• 1 cup softened butter
• ▢
  1 cup granulated sugar
• ▢
  1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• ▢
  1 large egg
• ▢
  2 ½ cups plain flour
• ▢
  ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• Use a stand mixer, or a hand-held mixer to cream the butter and sugar, and beat until pale and fluffy.
• Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until completely combined.
• Sift the flour and baking powder over the wet mix and combine to create a dough.
• The dough is quite moist, but flour the bench top, and sprinkle the top of the dough to roll out to your desired cookie depth.
• The thinner the dough, the crisper the cookie.
• The thicker the dough, the softer it will be.
• Cut out shapes and place them on prepared parchment paper-lined trays.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Cool completely before icing.

'NUTS about YOU' Valentine Gift Idea.

Want a CUTE and ROMANTIC gift idea for Valentines Day?

This 'I'm just NUTS about YOU' design was the inspiration.

It can be printed on plain paper for labels,

or on adhesive paper to be used as a sticker.

To Make:

Upcycle a jar, or buy one in the desired size.

Then print the label.

I'm printing on plain white card for this project and the 'Nuts' printable will be used as a tag around the neck of the jar.

Paint the jar lid with red paint if is from a recycled jar with labelling on it.
My jar lid was wood, so I left it unpainted.

Fill your jar with chocolate covered nuts..
I layed dark and milk chocolate covered scorched almonds.
Add ribbon to neck of the jar using roller glue to hold in place.

Then add the label to the jar.
I used roller glue to attach it.

How simple to create...

Ready to gift to your Valentine nut and chocolate lover! 

Save As - the FREE NUTS ABOUT YOU Printable' to your

computer, then print in the required size.

I used 5x7 size for this project.

Use this image for stickers.
Save As - then copy and paste and size for as many stickers as you require.
