Paper Valentines

lovebirdsI’ve been a little obsessed with cutting paper designs the last few days. This is not a good activity around my house these days because of a certain tiny person’s ongoing obsession with eating paper. I’ve been trying to scoop up all my little bits of paper before she gets to them, which is especially difficult now that our vacuum cleaner is broken. I really need to just put the scissors away.

heart on fire

When I was a kid, my favorite Valentines were those with lacy doilies glued to the front. That’s not quite my style now but I do love pretty paper designs. I’ve been cutting my own lacy designs and I’ve made templates for two of my favorites to share with you. One is a sweet Lovebird design and the other is a fiery Flaming Heart.

The templates are in a PDF that can be downloaded HERE!

Happy Valentine-making. I hope you like them!
