I worte this tutorial over the weekend for Pixels and Company. I thought I would share it here, too!
I love hybrid projects, but really love when they are usable for everyday! When I saw Deena’s new kit, Truly Insta-Love Valentines, I thought they would make adorable little Valentine magnets for the grandparents’ fridge. They are SUPER EASY to make and come together in a snap!
What you’ll need:
- A digital kit – I used Deena Rutter’s kit, Truly Insta-Love Valentines. (below)
- A photo or two.
- Scissors, paper trimmer or ruler and craft knife
- Business card magnets, adhesive on one side (You can find these at most office supply stores.)
- Adhesive (if you make the little envelopes to put them in.)
Instructions:
- Create your Valentines. Size them to be 2″x3.5″ or smaller. These are about 2″x3″. I printed these on thick card stock, but photo paper would be great, too! You could actually fit 4 of these on a 4″x6″ print. (I trimmed mine a little smaller than the width of the magnets to have the thin black border. Also, this prevents the edges from getting scuffed up over time.)
- Trim your cards, and also your magnets if you need to. This is where a ruler and craft knife come in handy!
- Peel of the adhesive backing from the magnet and adhere you card.
For the envelopes:
These came in Deena’s kit, so if you use them be sure to size them to fit your project. I printed them on regular copy paper, trimmed them, scored the folds, and then applied adhesive to close them.
That’s it ~ I told you it was easy! And now your Valentine can be reminded every day of how much you love them… all year long!
Big hugs!
