It’s craft night! V-day Edition

Last night, I hosted a craft night for my girlfriends, and it was the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Eve. There’s something so nostalgic and fun about making paper valentines, and I wanted to put a modern twist on the classic cut-and-paste style.

I set up the table with all the supplies: cardstock, doilies, glue sticks, scissors, and a mix of printed-out drawings, graphics, and fun phrases to use in our collages. I printed everything in advance so my friends could focus on assembling and layering rather than starting from scratch. The beauty of collage-style valentines is that they come together so easily.

There was a wide range of vibes – sweet, sentimental, funny & cheeky, but they all turned out really cute. Plus, there’s something extra special about a handmade valentine.

If you need inspiration, here’s some of the phrases I had in mind when I put these graphics together:

• Chilli peppers for “You’re Hot”
• Sweets for “You’re the Sweetest”
• Lady bugs as “Love Bugs”
• “You Give Me Butterflies”
• A Martini for “Will You Be My Valen-tini?”
• “You Have the Key to My Heart”
• A package for “Sending You All My Love”
• Kittens for “I Love Meew” or “You’re My Purrr-son”
• “You’re My Cherry On Top”
• Statue & Frames for “You’re a Work of Art”
• Cowboy boots for “The Perfect Pair”
