Valentine’s Heart Willow Wreath


again shamelessly i found this i used old cards and construction paper ..........Loved it!

www.thecardswedrew.com

Valentine’s Heart Willow Wreath tutorial on thecardswedrew.com


What You Need:
*Willow Wreath
*Scrapbook paper (be careful of the thickness you choose to avoid my issue)
*Punched hearts (you can buy scrap-booking heart punches or use a cutting machine like the Silhouette or Cricut
*Hot Glue
*Ribbon



I started by getting all of my hearts prepared on my Silhouette. If I hadn't already been to Joann's twice today, I would have gotten some other paper with different colors on it, but since I couldn't go back I went with mono-chromatic pink on the whole wreath.

when my hearts were ready, I simply glued them with hot glue all over my wreath. Then I used some pink ribbon I had on hand to tie it at the top with.




Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse:

This comes from the site Thecardswedrew.com  It Looked so good i had to pass it on!





Valentine’s Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse





1 package of cream cheese (8 oz size)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 (8 oz) container of Cool Whip
1 package of strawberry jello mix
strawberry sundae topping (optional)




Directions


Start by mixing cream cheese in a bowl until it’s smooth. Add the powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla, and beat until creamy. Add Cool Whip to your mixture and beat until mixed together.
Divide the cheesecake mix into two bowls and set one aside. Add small amount of strawberry jello mix to one of the bowls and mix until a light pink color (add more jello powder to taste if needed).
Get a small bowl or cup and either pipe or spoon the mousse into the bowl. If you so choose, you can layer the vanilla and strawberry mousse with strawberry ice cream topping or you can leave it without 
do chocolate hearts, added chocolate topping, or whatever your heart desires.

Paper Heart Garland



Valentines Day Heart Garland





Materials

Scrap paper. You can use book pages, junk mail, or any other scrap paper that you like!

Scissors
Stapler
Embroidery thread and a needle
Twine
Ribbon

Directions


Cut out 3 strips of paper that are 1/2" wide in varying lengths. Try 9", 10" and 11" to start.
Fold each piece in half.
Take the 9" strip, and nestle it inside of the folded 10" strip, then nestle both of those inside the 11" strip.
Hold the bottoms of the paper together in one hand, and use your other hand to gently press down on the paper where it's creased. You want to work the creases in between your fingers that are holding the bottom of the paper.
Garb your stapler, and put one staple through all of that paper to secure your heart in place.
Tie a knot in one end of a piece of embroidery thread, then use the needle to work it up through the staple, leaving you with a little tail coming out of the top of your heart.
Tie the tail to the twine, and tie a pretty bow on top where it connects, if you like.
Repeat steps 1-7 to create as many hearts as you like for your garland!
