Valentines Heart "Felt Gift Card Holder"

I thought I would share with you one of the first of a few Valentine's Hearts gift card holders I am making. I used felt material for these but any material could work. I have left the top open to add a gift card in. These are super simple to make. You could even sew these by hand if you wish. No pattern is necessary.
Just cut your hearts to the size you would like. First cut out one of the heart, then a second one was cut out slightly bigger with pinking sheers I sewed the two together using an embroidery heart stitch. It also would be cute in a zig zag stitch. I decided to put a bow and a button on this one. I have a couple more to share in the next few days. Hope you enjoyed a little gift card inspiration for your Valentine's Day~
If you would like a template with instructions, I can make one for you. Just leave me a comment and I will create it and let you know when its done.  * make sure you leave a way to connect via email or your name is linked to your email
Do you like creating little gifts or cards for Valentine's Day?

Crafty Inspiration


1. Pink Lemonade Craft or Garden Apron, 2. lolliPOPs!, 3. pattern, 4. Before and After Thread Bag, 5. flores e espinhos..., 6. teeny weeny., 7. Crafty Pay It Forward Cowl, 8. Dou-te o meu coração :) / I give you my heart :)

I was looking for a little crafty inspiration tonight and this is what I found. Handmade aprons which I always love. I like to use mine when crafting or painting. Cute little ribbon and spool dolls. I was so excited to find these because we just got some round wood beads at a yard sale and I think it is a project my daughter can do with me. She is dying to learn how to knit or crochet too. But I haven't done either since I was a teen. But one of her sisters knows how to knit so maybe when we go to visit she can help us with that. I love hands on learning for something like that! I also saw this cute little bag makeover. A baby bag turned into knitting thread bag.
And who wouldn't love a doll hand crafted holding a heart~

For you crafty ladies who crochet here is a free pattern I came across for a lovely cowl like the one above. And if you don't want to make your own apron but were swooning over the craft apron you can look at Pamwares Etsy Shop. Or if you rather give it a go, here is a apron tutorial from One Pearl Button. But what ever you do have a wonderful day ~

What crafty inspirations have you seen lately? Has it made you want to sew? or knit and crochet? What projects with the kids or grandkids do you have this summer in the works?
I am listening~
