I guess I should call this faux origmai (fauxgami?), because this felt origami Valentine bag/decoration isn’t really origami. There is folding involved, but also cutting to make the heart shape, which is pretty much frowned on in real origami. Plus it’s felt, not paper. This design was inspired by the heart shaped corner bookmark from […]
Make a Washi Tape Craft
I love a good washi tape craft. It’s been a long time since I played with this fun patterned tape, so I thought I would try using some of it to help me make some last-minute Valentines, but this is a great idea for all sorts of card making occasions. My card isn’t quite finished […]
Dark Chocolate Snack Mix with Ghirardelli Chocolate

Open-Ended Valentine’s Day Crafts
The other day I went to Target for the first time in a while, and though I was rather determined to stick to my list, I could not resist all the cute Valentine’s stuff in the dollar spot. I spent $7 on some plain red cards, paper stickers, felt stickers, puffy stickers, glittery heart shapes, […]
