Strawberry Themed Valentine Printable {Free}

Teacups can be purchased at thrift shops for cheap. Sanitize teacups and use for gift giving containers. Children's school teachers need a valentine too!


Free Valentine printable, "To a Berry Sweet Valentine Have a Berry Sweet Day!" Easy and simple Valentines to create for your very own kids, kids friends and teachers! I've included several  different strawberry ideas to use this free printable with:


fresh fruit strawberries
strawberry jam
chocolate dipped strawberries
strawberry mini ice cream
strawberry fruit snacks
strawberry crush
strawberry plant
fruit leather






Add ribbon and strawberry valentine to a carton of strawberries for a simple and darling gift.






Clear bag,  ribbon and strawberry fruit snacks. 
Need to seal a cello bag to keep food fresh? Check the bottom of the post for an easy, simple idea.


 Tulle, strawberry fruit snacks and ribbon. The 3.5 inch scallop circle punch was purchased at Michaels Craft stores. Here is a similar  3-Inch Scallop Circle Punch.




Quick and easy - attach the Valentine label directly to strawberry fruit snacks (purchased at Target)



Fun treat for your kids. Attach the valentine printable to the top of a mini ice cream (strawberry, of course!)








 I purchased the red tag at Michaels Crafts (dollar section) and attached the valentine to the tag. Tie the tag onto a fruit leather roll-up!

 Valentine tag attached to strawberry jam


 Fresh strawberries placed inside a mason jar makes for a great neighbor, teacher or friend gift.            





                                                                                                                
              

 Add a cute label to a Crush strawberry soda or strawberry plant.














Need to seal a cellophane bag without purchasing an expensive sealer? Use an old curling iron or flat iron. The bags need to b Cello or Cellophaneir.gif to work. Cookies, candies, favor items and anything needing to be kept fresh -work well in a sealed bag. Place the items in the cello bag and place the bag between the heated curling iron hold in place 5 - 15 seconds (depending on the temperature). You might need to seal it again if your curling iron isn't hot enough. Beware - flat irons are extremely hot. I turn my flat iron on and then unplug it to let it cool enough that it doesn't melt the cello. The cello bags seem to do better with a flat iron that isn't sizzling hot.  Sealing a cello bag with a curling iron is the same premise as using an industrial impulse sealer.

Christmas Printables: How to Create 15 Different Looks From 4 Labels

Thank you to  Kiki Creates who created these awesome Homemade with Christmas Love labels for our 100 Ideas of Christmas Wonderful series. I had so much fun creating 15 various looks with 4 different labels. I used what I had on hand (except the white food containers) to come up with several different options.











Kiki made each label set in 3 different sizes: 2.5 inch, 3 inch and 3.33 inch! The different size labels can be printed on  2.5 round sticker labels,  large round 3.33 sticker labels, or print any size label on card stock and use a  circle punch to cut out.





White dessert containers are an inexpensive container to use for gift giving. Perfect for food. I purchased the containers at Smart & Final. They were approximately 30 cents each.  Chinese take out boxes were also used as containers.







Here are the various looks...



Tissue paper and ribbon. Love this look.


Empty Pringles can decorated with wrapping paper, yarn and label.


Popcorn container with two holes punched and ribbon tied through the holes can make a cute popcorn gift. I used the  Crop-A-Dile (shown below) to punch out plastic (leather, chipboard, etc) and "long reach" items that a regular hole punch can't reach. I find myself using it frequently.













Label printed on light aqua colored card stock.
Take out box with polka dot ribbon and label added.


 Crop-A-Dile punch used on the sides to punch out holes. Ribbon added to make a handle.









Place two paper plates on top of each other (one is inverted) so it makes a "flying saucer" shape. Place goodies between the plates. I used red rick rack to tie around the plates. The black label makes a nice finishing touch.













 Labels printed on kraft paper card stock and attached to kraft paper lunch bags. The bag on the right is adorned with tree twigs and greenery.





Label printed on kraft paper card stockPeat pots are an inexpensive container made of recycled materials. Punch a hole on each side of the container and thread a ribbon through with a knot tied on each end to make a handle.
