Valentine's Review ~ Things I Made

So, I shared earlier that I was making Valentine cards. I love to make my own. Usually, our Tasha Tudor group has an exchange, but this year we just didn't set one up. Several of us just did it anyway, as it has been our custom for many years. I just love cards and love to send them anyway. I love to start with a pile of pretty papers, doilies, ribbons, embellishments...just fun stuff. I usually have an idea in my head and it just changes a bit and becomes my annual Valentine. It's just fun for me.

 

Bits and pieces waiting to become pretty Valentines! It fun to just go through all your craft and sewing items and see what you can find!

A few years ago, my friend Nancy gave me a set of scissors for cutting paper. Boy, do they come in handy...very helpful. I am a messy worker!

I have become fascinated with silhouettes lately and just had a cameo silhouette thing roaming around in my head. This is what just developed.

I wanted to send a little candy treat to go with my theme. I couldn't find anything ready made, so had to make my own. Years ago when my girls were little, my friend Molly and I got into making candies with candy melts. I kept all my molds and found the cameo ones~PERFECT!

I melted the white candy melts and carefully painted the inside of the cameo mold. After it hardens in the fridge, you fill in the mold with the pink candy.

The finished product....pretty little candy cameo and other Valentine candies. Success!
