I am really excited about the Valentines class I am holding tomorrow, and my work room has been a flood of pink, red and white all week! This morning I have a project to share that is a Valentine card and gift all in one. The beauty of this project is that, depending on how you decorate it, you could give it to your sweetie, you kids, or a friend.
The finished card measures 5 1/2 inches square, and inside there are two pockets. The right pocket holds a CD...I love to make "mix CD's" on my computer, and this card would be the packaging to hold a CD of love songs. The other pocket holds three removable journaling tags, which I can write "love notes" on.
Under the left side pocket, I cut out the words "things I love about you", and on the right side pocket I added "you put a song in my heart".
I punched a hole on each side so I can tie it closed with a pretty piece of ribbon.
If you aren't into burning your own CD's, you could purchase a CD, remove it from it's original packaging and tuck it into the pocket. OR...you could put an ITunes card inside...bet your teen would love that!
Happy crafting!
Very fun idea...might do this for my husband...he isn't into romantic things but I bet a mix cd would tickle him.
