Free Valentine: Of All The Fish In The Sea...

Dear friends, I appreciate all of you who follow, read and comment on Design Dazzle!! In gratitude - I've included two adorable red and aqua color valentines you can download and print for free. The quotes read...



Valentine

of all the fish in the sea... you're the one for me!



Valentine

of all the fish in the sea...you're most important to me!





Parchment paper envelopes were made by sewing with red thread (zig zag stitch) and folding the top over to created an envelope. I used the Cricut to cut out the red heart. The heart makes a cute envelope seal.  Gummy Blue Sharks were purchased (at the local gas station) to include inside the valentine.



A good place to buy Swedish Fishis Target! I knew that red gummy fish would look cute in a cello bag with color coordinated ribbon. Scroll down to the bottom of the blog post for instructions on how to seal a cello bag to keep candy and baked goods fresh.



Fill a white lunch bag with goodies. Fold the top over and sew.


Bucket love! I love buckets!!


How easy is this?? Attach the valentine to a small individual size bag of Goldfish Crackers. Kids would have fun attaching valentine labels to bags of Goldfish Crackers for their friends. So simple!!







Free printables and downloads are for personal use only. Do not share or distribute this file in any free or for profit format.







Need to seal a cellophane bag without purchasing an expensive sealer? Use an old curling iron or flat iron. The bags need to be  Cello or Cellophane 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.

Valentine Free Printable



Making Valentines with your kids is a super fun activity. I'm loving the "I {mustache} you a question

Will you be my Valentine? Here is your own free printable version. No need to add the chocolate lollipop mustache unless you want. The valentine is perfectly cute on its own but certainly receiving a chocolate mustache never hurt anyone.



















Instructions:




Melt the candy melts according to package instructions. Spoon the melted candy into mold. Tap mold on countertop to get rid of any bubbles. Add the lollipop stick.



Tip: never add water to melted candy wafers or chocolate. Use melted shortening to thin the consistency.



Place a spoon under the stick to help keep the lollipop stick in place while the candy sets. Place the mold in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. The mustache should pop out of the mold easily. If not, it's not ready yet.



















Print out the mustache printable and cut out each separate valentine.




 Punch 2 holes in the valentine (as shown) to insert the lollipop stick in. Place in a clear cellophane bag and seal or tie the bag. For an easy way to seal cellophane bags, check below.
