My daughter attended a girl’s choice dance at the High School last week. It was a fun day and evening for the group. Here it is documented:

Textured Valentine by Lezlye
Welcome the Lori Whitlock Blog. Today I wanted to share a simple masculine Valentine with you. I enjoy taking basic shapes and adding texture to them. I used Lori’s awesome Heart Cluster.
I wanted just a blog card with the red and black. Adding the music and script texture to the heart and background. I used embossing folders to do this. I shrunk down the Happy Valentine’s Day sized for a card, this is a great way to stretch your titles into sentiments. Super easy to resize using cricut design space.
Valentine’s Day is next week.. How did that happen? Check out Lori’s Store for ready made files for cards, boxes, treat holders and a whole lot more! Have a fabulous Day!

Happy First Friday of February! Hope you have fun plans for the month. It’s Valentine’s Day this month. The most beloved day to send hand-made cards and love notes. I made up a quick card in Photoshop Elements with Lori’s files.
This is the entire preview. I’ll print it out and fold it in half.
Files found from:
I think there are many cards to be printed and made. I can easily swap out the files to get another look like this:
So many possibilities. Print a few and send them out to all that need a little Valentine’s cheer!

Valentine Gift Bag and Cookies with Anita
Hi Everyone! Anita here with an easy and fun Valentine project that I created for my husband. My daughter bought some items on Etsy and they came in this awesome cotton bag which I just needed to repurpose!
In addition to some twine, I used Printable Fabric from Cricut which is adhesive back and very easy to use.
I used two different files for this project. The Valentine’s above are from a file called 3 Valentine’s Cards and you can find them here in the Silhouette Store. I also used 2 Doily Hearts which you can find here in Lori’s SVG Store and here in the Silhouette Store. I love using the print and cut feature because you are able to print exactly what you see and then cut it out perfectly. Don’t forget to add your registration marks to your mat before you print so your machine will know where the cut lines are. When I cut the printable cotton canvas using my Silhouette, I chose Printable Cotton Canvas Silhouette Brand from the media type, and used a cut depth of 5. It worked perfectly. The packaging gives directions for using a Cricut to cut the canvas and suggests Fabric, Printable (Cricut).
Make sure to position your printed cotton canvas fabric in the top left hand corner of your mat as in the photo, so that your machine can easily read the registration marks.
Here is what mine looked like after they were cut out. I would suggest printing one on paper as a sample before putting your canvas into the printer.
After I cut out the Doily Hearts, I ran them through my Xyron to put strong adhesive on the back. I wanted to make sure that they would adhere to the bag and stay in place once it was filled.
I added some twine to the string that was already in the bag. I threaded the three colored pieces of twine through the same hole to match the embellishments on my bag.
Before I stuck everything down well I pulled the strings tight on the bag to see how the hearts and Valentine card would lay.
Lastly here is a photo of the completed bag with the sugar cookies that I made for my Valentine and I know that he will love them. Hope you are inspired to start working on some Valentine’s for the loved one’s in your life and that you will check out all of Lori’s wonderful cut files for what is one of my favorite holidays.
Hugs,
Anita
