Taylored Expressions has the sweetest release today! Several fun kits designed to help kids celebrate Valentine’s with sweet treats. I’ve peeked through the designer library, and they had some super fun and easy ideas to create Valentines with the kids in your life, but I gave the strawberry and flower blooms a glow-up with felt and French Knots for the sweetest addition to my little splashes of Valentine decor.
The dies to create these strawberries are just two easy pieces: the large berry and the stem topper. You simply cut the berry body, fold the flaps, stuff a little candy or trinket inside, and secure with twine. I added French Knots with coordinating floss to insinuate seeds on my berries before I rolled them up.
Then, I pulled out Garden Variety dies to add a little extra leaf sprig to the Strawberry tops and some blossoms that dangle on a vine of twine colored with OLO YG8.5.
Also new today, Taylor created I’m a Sucker dies to wrap lollipops and sweet treats. I used mine to add some extra volume to my Roll With It flowers for bigger blooms. I used a little hot glue to attach the rolled flowers to new, sucker/candy sticks made by Wilton from the candy-making aisle in Walmart. They make a quick and easy bouquet.
I will be adding these collections to my seasonal tray on my kitchen island, and I’ll be making more for some simple girlfriend gifts. I love seeing the little handmade touches when I am working in my kitchen.
