Mixed Media Valentine Tags

Valentine Crafting Week 2014 (Copyright Hanna Andersson)

Valentine Craft Week might never end. I might name 2014 the Year of the Pink Heart and continue riding it, waving the love banner high, disappearing into the sunset. Or I might tire of hearts (even though that sounds unlikely right now).

After sewing valentine postcards last week, I continued sewing hearts, but small tag-sized ones!

I simply created them as a layered cake. Bottom layer (the tag) is cut from one of my many painted background papers, then layered with this textured synthetic fiber material that a friend brought me, and then topped with a heart that I sewed on with the sewing machine. Yummy, right?

It’s like the never ending saga!

  1. Hanna these are sweet sweet sweet. There’s something so yummy about stitching. I didn’t stitch any of mine this year. But now I feel like continuing them so I can stitch!

  2. Lovely. Thanks for all the great ideas. I think we should make it a heart year. I’m doing 28 days of cards with hearts as part of my 365 Days of Making Art. 1 card behind at the moment.

  3. Love these! The stitching looks really nice. :) I only recently realized my sewing machine does more than one stitch, so maybe I’ll have to try this!

  4. Despite the fact that I am not much into scrapbooking, journaling or playing with paper, I love visiting your space – filled with color and joy! Thank you for all the hours of thought and work and effort you put in to sharing what you love with all of us! HappyValentine’s Day!
