You’ll Love This Valentine’s Day Advent Calendar!by Close To My Heart |
The timeless love sonnet
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning has inspired countless thousands of
people to “count the ways” they love one another for over a century now.
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we’ve come up with an
irresistibly cute project to help you count the days! Take a look:
Didn’t we tell you it was the cutest? :)
And it’s amazingly simple, too. Staring with our Designed Décor Red
Magnetic Chalkboard, we added a big heart cut from the Charlotte paper
packet. Next, we cut 14 adorable envelopes from a variety of cardstocks
and glitter papers with our Cricut® Artiste collection. Have a look:
After
cutting them out, you’ll need to fold your envelopes. Use a bone folder
to get deep creases so the flaps will stay in place—no adhesive
required! Then attach a set of hook & loop dots to each envelope.
These Velcro-like dots make opening and closing the envelopes a cinch!
Now
for the fun part: decorating and filling the envelopes! We attached a
heart to every envelope and attached a number on top. Feel free to
embellish your envelopes to your “heart’s” content!
What
will you put in your envelopes? A note with something you love about
your significant other? A little piece of candy? A picture of a favorite
memory? An act of love you’d like to complete that day? Whatever you
choose, it’ll get you and everyone else at your house even more excited
for the big day!
Make your own heart-filled advent calendar, so you can count the ways AND the days this Valentine’s!
