Lovestruck Lollipop Valentine Bookmarks

Lovestruck Lollipop Valentine Bookmarks and Treat Wallet for The Kiddies

Hello, again, Friends!  Just as I  promised, I’m back today with more Lovestruck Valentines.  My last project used Lovestruck to make a sassy and sweet grown up Valentine.  But these Lovestruck Lollipop Valentine Bookmarks and Valentine Treat Wallet are made with the kids in mind.  Both of today’s projects are quick and easy to make, so let’s get the party started!

Lovestruck Lollipop Valentine Bookmarks

These retro images take me right back to elementary school!  Remember the fun Valentine’s Day parties with cookies, punch and Valentine treats?   My mom always insisted that we make our own Valentines for those parties.  One year, we baked heart shaped cookies and decorated them with frosting.  Another year, we cut out construction paper hearts, added a stick of gum and wrote “I’m stuck on you, ” on each card.  And one year we handed out lollipops with a little tag that said, “I’m a sucker for you.”  My mom was never short on imagination!  I’m so thankful for her innovation and creativity!

To add the lollipop to these Lovestruck Lollipop Bookmarks, punch two holes with a standard hole punch.  Then thread the stem of the lollipop through the holes and secure on the back side of the bookmark with tape.  You could make a bunch of these cutie pie bookmarks in no time!  I think they’d make darling party favors!

Lovestruck Valentine Treat Wallet

This cute little treat wallet is so easy to make using paper scraps and stickers.  Here’s how I did it:

Valentine Treat Wallet Lovestruck by Kathy Clement Product by Authentique Photo 2

  • First, cut a 7.5″ wide x 5″ tall piece of scrap cardstock.
  • Next, place the long side on your scoring tool.  Score at 3.25″ and 7″.
  • Crease the folds to create a little wallet. Decorate the front as seen here.
  • Create a belly band from paper scraps and decorate with a sticker.

For the inside:

  • You will have a 1″ overlap on the right hand side.  This becomes a pocket.
  • Now, line the interior of the wallet with papers from the 6×6 Paper Bundle.
  • Then glue the sides of the 1″ flap to the base to form a pocket.  You can punch a thumb hole with a 1″ circle punch first, if desired.
  • Now, fill the pocket with treats, a gift card or a little note.
  • Back a sticker with cardstock and glue just the bottom edge on the left hand side of the wallet.  This becomes a tuck spot for an image.

How easy was that?

I hope I’ve shared some fun ideas that you can use when making Valentines for your favorite kiddoes.  I think these would make darling party favors and would even be fun for teachers!

Authentique Lovestruck Sassy Valentine Card Folio

Authentique Lovestruck Sassy Valentine Card Folio with Handmade Flower

Hello, Friends!  Valentine’s Day is such a lovely holiday!  Who doesn’t love a day that’s all about love, friendship, card swapping, flowers and chocolate?  But Valentine’s don’t always have to be sweet, do they?  This Authentique Lovestruck Sassy Valentine Card Folio is lots of fun, too!

This is a 5″ x 7″ top fold card base with a 1/2″ spine.  And don’t you just love this sassy sentiment?  Never mind love…I’d rather fall in chocolate!

Lovestruck Sassy Valentine Card Folio Lovestruck by Kathy Clement Product by Authentique Photo 2I love the red and aqua color combo, too.   That aqua paper really makes the bow cluster pop!  Scarlet Checkerboard Satin Ribbon is on the bottom, and Random Hearts and Confetti Grosgrain Ribbon is on top.

The chocolate wallet is just the right size to hold an individually wrapped Ghiradelli Chocolate treat.  Because, it’s Valentine’s Day people!  Time to break out the chocolate!

How fun is this Valentine tag?  I’ve dressed up a Graphic 45 Ivory Staples Tag with papers from the 6″ x 6″ Bundle.  Then I added stickers, crepe paper trim and a felt heart embellishment.  The heart is made with Tammy Tutterow’s Prim Hearts,  Posie Parts and Bitty Posies Dies.

People often ask me, “What do you do with a tag?”  I have tags looped over cabinet pulls to brighten up a room.  They are great to display in an office cubicle, and fabulous to tie on a gift.  They make great bookmarks, are a fun addition to a mantel display and you can write a greeting on the back.  That’s just a few of the fun things you can do with tags!

I hope this Lovestruck Sassy Valentine Card folio has sparked your inspiration.  I’ll be back on Wednesday with some Lovestruck Valentine Ideas for the Kids.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,
