Can you feel it? Love Is in the Air! Our January release is filled with ways to show your love, so this week, we’re sharing ideas for making handmade Valentines for all your favorite people.
Romantic Love Is in the Air
Today we’re highlighting ways to show your love to that special someone. Our loved ones expect something spectacular and from classic to whimsical to a little bit geeky, our team has covered a range of romantic relationships.
If you and your significant other share a scientific streak, the new Cute Chemists stamp set will bring happiness to both your lives — you when you create a card with a loved one in mind, and them when they open the envelope to reveal your handiwork. Jodi‘s put on her crafty lab coat and combined elements that produce a Nobel-worthy compound perfect for the season of love.
This classic take from Barbara features hearts, a color palette instantly recognizable as an ode to Valentine’s Day, and a sentimental phrase that will melt hearts and inspire smiles.
Keeway‘s embraced whimsy in this colorful look featuring Tweet Friends. She’s balanced her adorable characters with a gorgeously blended background and a large sentiment rendered in a pretty script.
Want to win a $25 voucher so that you can create Valentines with some fun new products?

Can you feel it? Love Is in the Air! Our January release is filled with ways to show your love so the rest of this week, we’re sharing ideas for making handmade Valentines for all your favorite people. Join us through Friday for projects featuring loads of heart.
Love Is in the Air for Friends & Coworkers
Your friends and coworkers are integral to getting through the day with your sanity and well-being intact — they deserve some recognition during this holiday of love! Today we’re featuring two projects that are sure to confirm your appreciation for these vital relationships.
Sassy Pants Love features funny and unexpected options for Valentine greetings. This collection is perfect for friendships in which laughter plays a vital role in maintaining a tight bond. Inge has paired sentiments from Sassy Pants Love with gorgeous heart-centered Die-namics and a modern Valentine color palette to create this chocolate treat + card combo.
The Hearts Entwined Die-namics has played a key role in both of our projects today — especially in this modern twist on a colorful art piece Stephanie has created. Layering multiple intricate die cuts results in such a striking dimensional look and this particular die is the perfect design for the task.
Before getting to today’s post, we’d like to announce the randomly selected winner from the Season’s Givings Blog Hop.
Congratulations Peggy Pighetti! You have won a $100 Gift Voucher to the MFT Boutique. Keep an eye on your email as we’ll be contacting you later today with the details.

Love Is in the Air — Kids & Teachers
You’ll LOVE the projects we have today designed with kids and teachers in mind. If you create Valentines for these amazing people, today’s projects are sure to inspire you. Be sure to click over to each of our designer’s blogs for more info on each of their projects!
Teachers deserve to be celebrated and pampered every chance we get. This trio from Julie would be a much-loved treat for all the teachers that care for your children this Valentine’s Day. A chocolate and tea pick-me-up might be the perfect remedy for a stressful day, and a heartfelt greeting of appreciation is the cherry on top! The pretty patterns included in the Sweet Stack Paper Pack make coordinating the three pieces a breeze and the Tweethearts songbirds provide a sweet finishing touch.
Rachel reached for the Sweet Stack Paper Pack (yes, it is perfect for Valentine’s Day…you’ll reach for it again and again long past February though!) as well. She paired the Wonderful Woodland Friends with that dainty heart pattern in creating this ingenious box card that your child will proudly display for months to come. This irresistible dimensional design is packed with love.
Karolyn has pulled double duty today creating treat toppers for the kiddos and a sweet little tag to accent a potted plant or another thoughtful gift for the teacher. She’s shared some great tips for getting kids involved in the assembly process, and her tip for creating the topper element handle is ingenious!

Karolyn is our resident wizard when it comes to formulating innovative new ways of putting our range of interactive Die-namics to use. She’s demonstrated the Double Slider Loop Slots Die-namics in action before with some charming raccoons and she’s back at it again today, this time showcasing owls in love. ❤️
Those little floating hearts have me all aflutter! In her video today, she’s shared some great ideas for disguising the slider channel as well as for positioning die cuts for optimal results.
