I have details on our New Vintage Valentine Download Kit and our 2012 Free Printable Valentine Gift for you - plus links to 4 past years of Valentine Printables (at the end). Also some great samples, and if you missed it, a link to my List of 32 Creative Places to Say I LOVE YOU! .
Here are the 5 paper designs in the kit. I wish Valentines was farther away so we could make a Valentine Clear Art Stamp set. Please leave a comment if you want clear Valentines stamps like the page below? There are 2 Digi Stamps in the Kit and we couldn't fit all on a large stamp set -so which do you like best?
Look at these gift pretty tags & card backs
Then there is a Valentine Postcard front and back, a coupon, a digi stamp and the 2 hearts can decorate napkin holders, party crackers and a host of projects.
We had to include a cupcake wrapper and some little hearts to dress them up. I've seen cupcake wrappers printed on paper, with hole punched edges and turned into tiny lamp shades for mini party lights. We made it big enough so you can use decorative scissors to trim the edge if you don't want to bother cutting the scallops out.
Finally, this cute little cupcake girl who can be a card, invitation or a centerpiece for a table.
DT Leader Vicki Chrisman started creating some samples but I am so sad to say after just losing her dear mother last week, her much beloved dog Aly passed away yesterday. That dog was like Vicki's shadow and followed her every move. Vicki wants to take her mind off her sorrow and has been busy creating more samples that we will add to the Valentine Kit.
Look at the cute banner she made with images from 1 of the image sheets and 2 papers.
Here are 2 tags, perfect for tying on gifts and Vicki added one to a jar of chocolates. There are all kinds of containers to fit every budget and you can quickly re-purpose recycled containers by adding some paper, ribbon and a cute tag. Raid your supply stash for embellishments from buttons, broken jewelry, lace, glitter, little flowers found at craft, dollar and thrift stores. Fill with edible treats or package pamper items like mini travel soap & lotion.
Vicki also used used some of the tags to create this little memory album by gluing a piece of ribbon across the back. of 4 tags printed on cardstock.
How adorable is the layout she whipped up with her son Jared & girlfriend Kate. There will be more samples posted on the blog and our Facebook page and we would love to see photos of what you create if you order the kit you can post any projects on our Facebook page.
Okay - now for our Free Printable Valentine Gift just left click the image below until it gets as big as possible and right click it to save to a picture file. It's huge enough to use on a scrapbook page. Please remember our Vintage Printables Gifts are for personal use only. Someone was trying to sell them.
I'm not sure if Lisa Zappa re-vamped an old chocolate box or made one for this sample she made a few years ago but I love her fun colors and crepe paper. The word Love is from our Cherish stamp set is part of one of the digital stamps in the Valentine Kit 'To Show my Love', from an 1800's Valentine and if I ever got a tattoo it would be this LOVE lettering.
Here are the other links from past years with a Valentine-Love theme.
Also look at this cute card Michele Kovack created using a month from our free printable 2012 Calendar download. The image is from our Calendar Scraps which are on Clearance Sale for $1.50 as only 7 months work this year but there are several fabulous seasonal images
Here is a pretty little card by DT Member Viola Mahr using an image (jar) from our Homeade Booklet and the small cutlery from Kitchen Classics Stamps. Paper is from CD # 1.
I still have to hook up my new printer and give the results, hopefully this weekend.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Sandy, what a great way to start my day--sipping my coffee, checking emails, and seeing this fabulous Valentine E-Kit. Yep, I've already place my order. Can't wait to make some fun Valentine goodies. Thanks to Vicki and others for the wonderful inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE pretty much EVERYTHING!!!!! I don't care for those animals though that you were thinking of using for stamps. :( BUT, I DO want you to do Valentine Clear Stamps!!!!!!! :) THANKS!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff and wonderful samples!! Can't wait to experiment and play : )
ReplyDeleteI lost track of how many times I said "awwww, how CUTE" when I was gazing at the little fine-lined "badly coloured" animals!!! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE those as stamps!!!
ReplyDeleteOh My! Love, Love ,Love the Valentine papers! I think the images would be GREAT as stamps...and Love does not just occur on 2/14! I'd use them all year...with the wonderful coordinating papers!
ReplyDeleteI love your products! No ho-hum here!
(deepest condolences to Vicki-so sad to hear of two great losses !(

Sandy-great info and beautiful products. I am so not ready for digi-anything because I don't have a decent printer. Waiting to hear how you like yours plus all the details. Of course, after I get a great printer my first purchase would be the cd you came out with recently. Vicki C showcases the patterns so beautifully in her projects! Please keep inspiring us!
ReplyDeleteWow the images are amazing! You did a great job with choosing the final choices.
ReplyDeleteAll of the examples are so darn cute.
My condolences to Vicki
She is such a sweetie to make these examples during all her trials lately
what a beautiful kit!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable kit! I can't decide if I love those precious critters more (what Great stamps they would be!!) or the adorable kids, lol.
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't have a decent printer I still have to get this kit, it's just too cute to pass up - somehow I'll find a way to print it out!
Thanks for the beautiful free image, too! You're the best :)
Ann Marie
OOoh,ahh....SO festive. LOve the red music score :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your wonderful freebie and I just purchased the kit. Love, love, love it. I needed a postcard for a card that I was making today and could really have used this earlier.
ReplyDeleteLove that vintage look.
ReplyDeleteI did a hunt one year for my kids and their cousins. They had to find all the pieces to a hand made Heart puzzle and put it together to reveal where the prize was. Which was a game we all could play. They liked it. I did turn our milk a lovely shade one year too. My son thought it looked to unnatural to drink. Love This month. I also like doing Random Acts of Kindnesses this month with hand made jewelry or cards. Love all the encouraging and uplifting projects you post.
ReplyDeleteSandy, yes please for clear stamps like this, they are SO cute!!! Christie
