Valentine’s Heart Willow Wreath

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

www.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

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!

Orgami Ring for Valentines Day

 Start with one piece of origami 

paper.

Place it color-side down.

Fold in half, then unfold.

Turn and repeat. You should now 

have a "+" in your paper.

Fold each side to the center. It will 

look like doors being closed.

Unfold. Your piece should look like 

Take the edge and fold it to the 

first fold you made before 

Do the same with the opposite 

edge 

Fold one edge over to the second 

crease from the opposite edge 

Repeat with the opposite egde.

The outcome will be the paper 

being divided equally.

With the colored side up, fold back 

the top segment 

Fold the top left point to the center 

of the paper, similar to an airplane 

fold 

Repeat on the other side 

Turn over 

You are going to fold down on the 

line shown 

Fold down 

  

Turn over

Fold point back

Repeat on other side 

  

Unfold both sides 

Now you are going to open and 

fold. Pull open the folded piece and 

push upwards 

Repeat on both sides 

Fold point down toward center 

Repeat on both sides 

  

Fold up bottom fold 

Fold up again .

One last time .

  

Turn over 

Now you are going to make it into 

a ring. The small tab is where you 

will insert the other end of paper 

I find this part to be a challenge. 

Just keep rolling and working the 

paper until it looks like 

You've done it!
