Valentine Pins, Magnets and Hearts ofcourse!

     

     

It’s Valentine’s Day- and my most favorite day for making crafts!  The red hearts are little lapel pins that were super fun to make- just glued my favorite art angel face onto a paper scrap for the body, onto a little wood heart.  Gave it a coating of Glossy Accents and added a Swarovski crystal for the bling.  After gluing on a pin back, these little ladies were ready to be worn on the town.

The bird and nest ladies were my designs, glued onto larger heart wood blanks.  Added some strong magnets to the back and they were fun to hand out.

I also included some of my paper ladies that I used for Valentine cards.  I made them the same way that I did my Christmas tree labels.  Sticker paper is the best for making unique sticker visuals.  I like to seal my with spray acrylic to shine them up and give them some depth.

Mixed Media Polymer Heart Valentines

What is more fun than being inspired by special friends on Valentine’s Day?  Whoo hoo!  After baking some polymer hearts, I covered the sides with Washi tape.  I covered the fronts and back with images from my painting stash.  I added some cool numbers that were from an old TV set.  I coated everything in Triple Thick for sheen and dimension.  A few more embellishments were added such as gold leaf pen accents and a metal eyelet.  I strung them on colorful banana fiber and they were ready to go.
