Valentine Craft Projects

I still have a long list of Valentine Craft Projects that I want to do pero ilang araw na lang pala Valentine’s Day na so I guess, next year na lang ulit yung iba.

I’m sharing the different craft projects that I made for the past few weeks.

Valentine Bookmark Crayon Holders

When my son was still in his toddler years, I always saw this type of craft project and this is a nice birthday giveaway or gifts for friends or classmates that won’t hurt your budget. I wanted to do this for a long time but I don’t have the machine or tools.

Even though my son is no longer a kid, I still purchased the Valentine Bookmark Crayon Holders SVG file. Actually, I had this file for three years already, and now ko lang nagawa.

This is another Valentine Crayon Holder but I can’t remember where I got the file.

Cute Penguin Valentine Card

This Cute Penguin Valentine Card is from Jen Goode, I got the file from one of the summits I joined but if you have a Cricut Access Subscription, you can recreate the project.

Valentine’s Gift Layered Card - Love

This file is from The Bearded Housewife’s Made with Love Summit 2024. I plan to use this as a cake topper.

Valentine Teddy Bear Heart Box

I mentioned before that I will recreate the Valentine Teddy Bears using a different cardstock. This is better compared to my first project. I used this to decorate my Heart Box.

Valentine Truck

The Valentine Truck is from Craft with Sarah, you can use this as a cake topper, tag or decorate your card.

Flower Pot Valentine Card

The truck layered craft collection is already over and Craft with Sarah has started her new collection. And so far, she has two flower pot designs but I only cut the Flower Pot Valentine Card and used it to decorate my Valentine's Card.

Butterflies and Flowers Card

I made this Butterflies and Flowers Card last year but I think I can also use this as a Valentine's Card or Anniversary Card.

Will You Be My Player 2?

This Gamer Card was my entry for Bee Happy Weeklies Week 46: Pixel. I made this last year but I can also use this for Valentine’s Card.

I printed the design, attached it to the cardstock, and glued my Layered Male and Female Gamer Gnomes. The Gamer Gnomes are from Craft with Sarah.

Cupid

This cupid is designed by Craft with Sarah.

3D Valentine Gnomes

I had a hard time cutting the dress of the 3D Valentine Gnomes but I didn’t want to waste more paper so I still assembled them even though the cut was not perfect.

Valentine Layered Card

When I had my Cricut Maker, my family stopped buying cards, so if they needed one, they could just get it from my stash. Kahit na ako pa yung bibigyan nila ng card, ang importante naman yung message na isusulat so I don’t mind receiving my own homemade cards. February is also our wedding anniversary month, so I made a lot of cards for more options.

All of Me Loves All of You Tent Card

The All of Me Loves All of You Tent Card is from My 3D SVG site, this is a shadow box but I used it for a tent card to display on my computer table.

The following four cards are designed by Craft with Sarah. I uploaded all the SVG files on Cricut Design Space, changed a few colors, and cut.

Lace Heart Anniversary Card

Happy Valentine’s Day Card

Box of Chocolates & Rose Greeting Card

You’re One in a Melon Card

Valentine Coloring Cards

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching so it is time to make cards. Insert card was my favorite project when I started to explore my Cricut Maker. I can no longer count how many insert cards I made over the past few years.

But now, I am into coloring and converting my insert cards into coloring cards. I started doing this last year when I made my Teacher’s Appreciation Cards and Christmas Cards.

Materials and Tools:

Cricut Maker

Cricut Pen Cardstock

Ohuhu Markers

Glue

I am joining the Cricut Philippines Made with Love and Cricut Challenge and submitted the Butterfly and Flower Cards as my entry. Check my IG Reel.

A few years ago, I purchased the Butterfly and Flower Card Bundle but if you have a Cricut Access Subscription, these designs are available on Cricut Design Space. I shared them on my profile, just in case you want to recreate them.

Butterfly and Flower Card Bundle

Valentine Greeting Card

I made the Valentine Insert Greeting Card last year but now I changed it into coloring cards.

These two Valentine’s Cards are designed by The Bearded Housewife. It is part of the Made with Love Summit last year. These two are insert cards too but I changed it into coloring cards.

Teddy Bear Paper Craft

Tomorrow is my son’s Christmas party, so I was cramming again yesterday because I haven’t wrapped his exchange gifts yet. Well, late din kasi yung bunutan tapos inorder ko pa sa online shop yung gifts. I’m thankful I can buy the gifts online and that all my orders were delivered before the party. Last year kasi, nagpunta pa ako sa mall para lang bumili ng pang exchange gift.

Christmas Teddy Bear

And dahil small item lang yung gift, I made my own box and cut these Christmas Teddy Bears, I only need one box but these teddies are so cute so I cut both designs.

Female Christmas Teddy Bear

Male Christmas Teddy Bear

Easter Teddy Bear

And since Easter is near, I also cut the Easter Teddy Bears to maximize my cardstock.

Male Easter Teddy Bear

Female Easter Teddy Bear

Sharing the other Teddy Bears that I cut using my scrap paper. I am planning to cut the Generic, Birthday, and Valentine Teddy Bears in the future because I prefer the brown color I used for my Christmas and Easter Teddy Bear.

Generic Teddy Bear

Male Teddy Bear

Female Teddy Bear

Birthday Teddy Bear

Valentine Teddy Bear

St. Patrick Teddy Bear

Halloween Teddy Bear

All these SVG files are designed by Craft with Sarah and among the Teddy Bears, my favorites are the Christmas and Birthday Teddy Bears.

Valentine’s Day Card

Chinese New Year is already over and tomorrow is Valentine’s Day so I’m sharing the last few Valentine’s Cards that I finished. I made a lot of cards when I only needed two. Hehehe!

Bear Insert Greeting Card

These Bear Insert Greeting Cards are from Digital Gems; the square version is from Cricut Design Space, you can do this if you have Access Subscription. The rectangle version is available on her website and other design stores.

Bear with Gifts

Bear with Clouds

Flower and Heart Insert Card

The Flower and Heart Card is a score, draw, and cut project. I am trying other colors of my Cricut Pens so I didn’t use a black one. I didn’t like the pen that I used here.

Valentine or Anniversary Insert Greeting Card

I like this Valentine's Insert Greeting Card design but I am also not happy with the result, next time I will use a different color of pen, or maybe I will try foiling.

3D Construction Site

And finally, the I Totally Dig You easel card using the 3D Construction Site of Digital Gems.

Cricut Love Bingo

Cricut Philippines has another challenge and the prize is Cricut Joy + Cricut Joy Bundle Essentials. This has been on my craft wishlist for a very long time so I am trying my luck. The challenge is to finish this Cricut Love Bingo Card for one entry.

So I am trying my best to finish these 9 projects so I can have at least one chance. The deadline is still on February 13 but I wanted to finish this as soon as possible while I am still in my crafting mode. I am not yet done but sharing some projects that I already finished.

Succulent Valentine’s Card

I already made these cards two years ago but this year, I recreated them but no more corners because I wanted to attach the backing card instead of inserting it.

Valentine or Anniversary Gift Tag or Gift Card

I made these cards using different elements from Cricut Design Space, I chose font and elements that are available without a subscription. This is a score, draw, and cut project. I can use these cards for Valentine’s Day or Wedding Anniversary.

With you, I am home

We're better together

I choose you today and all of our tomorrow

God knew my heart needed you

3D Love Grows Here

I also made this 3D Love Grows Here, this is a ready-to-make project, I just edited the size and colors. I reduced the file so I did not get a clean cut on some layers but I still assembled the project.

Cricut Cutie Stickers

A few years ago, I made Cricut Cutie Stickers and I used those stickers for my Cricut Mats. Now, I decided to edit my design so I can also share my project in the Cricut community.

This is a print-then-cut project and I used Printable Holographic Vinyl. I had my Cricut Maker for more than 3 years already but this is the first time that I put something on it. “Talk Crafty to Me”

Heart Vinyl Stickers

I found this “You Can Do It” reward chart on imom’s website so I downloaded, printed and laminated it. Then instead of printing heart stickers, I used my scrap Holographic Leopard Chrome Vinyl. I forgot to change my blade from deep point to fine point blade so the heart stickers became die-cut stickers instead of kiss-cut stickers.

Heart Love Shirt and Pouch

I recently watched Craft with Sarah’s tutorial about “How to Put Text Inside a Shape in Cricut Design Space” so I was excited to try it. Since it is Valentine’s season, I used a heart shape for this project. My design is not that perfect but I am still happy with the outcome.

Update:

Adding the last 3 projects to complete my card and I am so happy because I already have one entry.

Love Magnetic Bookmark

I’ve been seeing a lot of magnetic bookmark craft projects in the craft community but it never crossed my mind to try this because I already have a magnetic bookmark. The magnetic bookmark that I am currently using is already more than a decade old, sulit yung bili ko.

Anyway, because of the challenge, I finally made my first magnetic bookmark. Good thing that I have a magnetic sheet at home since I am using that for my dies. I found this LOVE SVG file on Cricut Design Space and I decided to use it for my bookmark. You can use photosticker or photopaper + phototop and of course magnetic sheet to recreate this project.

Self Affirmation Mirror

I just realized na wala pa kami gaanong mirror sa bahay so it took me a long time na gawin itong project na ito, hindi ko kasi alam kung saan ididikit. Good thing that I found this mirror, so I cut “Do What You Love” SVG file using Frosted Glitter vinyl.
