Valentines!!!

Sorry for the delayed posting. I just wanted to make sure everyone received their valentines before posting the photos. I am in awe of the talent and creativity of all the bees and readers. Wow! You are all crafting superstars. We had a total of about 50 swappers and hopefully everyone got theirs by now. If not, just write me at canary [at] weddingbee [dot] com and I will see what I can do. Otherwise, enjoy the beautiful valentine creations (posted in no particular order) courtesy of the hive! Also, don't forget to rate your fellow swappers on Swap-Bot.

Michele G.'s made valentines out of shades of pink and included the most adorable pink bee ornament.



Miss D'Orsay's paper cut designs onto red hearts... all the way from the UK.


Pretty Kitty cut out decorative paper for applique and used embroidery floss to freehand the word "love" on the front of the cards. The back of each card had more applique and a cut out heart with a message.


Hayley E.'s colorful valentine decorated with paper doilies.


Mrs. Cookie's fun threaded hearts!

Mrs. Avocado's delicious heart-shaped marshmallows and cocoa valentines.



Heather S.'s matchbook valentine.

Mrs. Green Tea made yummy love bark and topped them off with a cute bee magnet. Check out her DIY tutorial here!


MrsMosses glittered and gocco'd valentines in her wedding colors.


Miss Quiche made "Sweet Pulls" - a pocket with sweets inside that are revealed when you pull up on the ribbons. I used fruity gum, took off their paper wrappers and made my own with coordinating paper. The pink flap on top conceals a message.


sal75 incorporated many paper elements to create these valentine cards.


MagPie518's beautiful patterned valentine with the sweetest tree illustration.



VanGal's black and white, paper-cut, and 3D inspired valentine!

Rebecca S. used a Cuttlebug to emboss the red layer on the cards, and a Cricut Expressions to cut out the address label on white full-sheet labels and the two hearts in the lower left corner. The envelope was lined with the same patterned paper as the hearts.


Firefighter_Prazs_Girl had her fiance, Mr. FF (as well as some of his co-workers at the fire station) help make her valentines!



prncsstp's beautifully wrapped chocolate bar with a "bee mine" printed ribbon.


Mrs. Eggplant's super detailed and pro-crafted cards. Who else thinks that Mrs. E should open an Etsy shop?



And lastly, my valentine goodie bag, which included: a handmade felt puff heart, Necco conversation hearts, chocolate Kisses, and Crunch hearts, packaged in a cello bag and topped off with a doilie and heart ornament.
