**Story: I love to gift little treat boxes on Valentine’s Day. With my mom being in the nursing home and this is her first Valentine’s Day there, I decided to make a few for her workers so she can give them a little gift on Valentine’s Day. I also created a tutorial for this project that is posted.

Theme: Love In Making

Story: With this card, I’m delivering handmade love by the truckloads. Every layer, every sparkle, every detail was chosen with care, because love in making is about giving a piece of your heart through the work of your hands. This little truck carries more than a greeting — it carries intention, joy, and the kind of love you can feel before you even open it.

Story: I love to upcycle. It’s so satisfying to find a discarded piece like this lantern & beautify it, therefore making it desirable again. I plan on selling it at our local farm store stand.

Ok, you have to post the whole format that I showed you. Look at my post above as an example. You don’t just post the link. Post it in the style that is shown above. You can just edit your post where you just posted the link. You don’t need to create a new reply.

I have read over the instructions you gave me numerous times, I’m not understanding. The link didn’t bring up the photos of my project. I can edit but the picture aren’t there. How do I get the original description that I used for it. Copy and paste? How do I get the pictures to show up?

You have to add the photos manually. For the story part, write a short story about why you created it or who it’s for.

I made a fun phone case with the H17. I have a love of reading I preference books to reality haha. Since my stokes and. Rain surgery’s it’s hard to read regular books but the kindle app I can have it in dark more or have it read out loud so it helps. So for a Valentines design I did love is being lost in a book.

Valentine’s Gift Bag Tag :gift_heart::label:

This Valentine’s gift bag tag was thoughtfully handcrafted with love using my LOKLiK cutting machine and designed in LOKLiK IdeaStudio, where creativity truly comes to life. Each piece begins with a precisely cut banner-style tag, layered with soft pink tones that capture the warmth and sweetness of Valentine’s Day.

The elegant “Love You” lettering serves as the heart of the design, paired with a cheerful “Happy Valentine’s Day” detail and a delicate rose :rose: sticker symbolizing love, care, and appreciation. Finished with a ribbon bow, this tag adds a charming, personal touch to any gift bag or treat.

This piece is inspired by the joy of giving from the heart—especially when it’s handmade. Creating something by hand is a way to slow down, pour intention into every detail, and share love in its most genuine form. These tags are more than an accessory; they’re a reminder that the most meaningful gifts are the ones made with care for the people we love most. :heart::sparkles:

Story: :uk: Love is like a game, with rules, risks, and lessons learned. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn, so why not play?
I’ve prepared this candy box with a Valentine’s Day version of Tic-Tac-Toe on the lid, which was originally plain. :love_letter:

I used black permanent vinyl for the lid, although you could also use heat transfer vinyl. The hearts and crosses are cut from two layers of cardstock and glued together for extra sturdiness and weight.

A fun and unique way to liven up a simple lid.

Love always wins. :two_hearts:

:es:El amor es como un juego, en el que hay reglas, riesgo y aprendizaje. Unas veces se gana y otras se aprende asi que, ¿por que no jugar?
He preparado esta caja de dulces con el juego del “Tres en raya” version San Valentin en la tapa que inicialmente era lisa. :love_letter:

He utilizado vinilo permanente negro para la tapa aunque tambien se puede usar vinilo textil, los corazones y aspas estan cortados en cartulina en dos capas y pegados para tener mayor consistencia y gramaje.

Una forma diferente y divertida para darle vida a una simple tapa.

El amor siempre gana.

Here’s my #CraftingLove entry for Week 2 Number 1]
Theme: Love in Making
IdeaStudio link: See What I've Been Creating...

Story We got a brand new itty bitty poodle puppy this week. This is dedicated to Nila … short for Vanilla. All our pets are named after spices or seasonings. The list goes way back … Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Rosemary, Sage, and now
I started with 180lb cardstock to cut the border, dog and letters. I applied 3m double sided adhesive to the top of the dog and used drills leftover from other diamond projects to completely cover the dog and add accents on the flowers. I used a glitter pen to add some sparkle to the letters. When you put it all together it will make a nice little keepsake for Valentines Day for our puppy’s breeder.

STORY TIME

Sweet Love in the Air – The Love Balloon Story

Sweet love is in the air tonight, rising gently through the Love Balloon design — a piece inspired by the enduring love I share with my husband. Just like our journey together, this design is layered with intention, faith, and the beauty of choosing love every single day.

Each heart within the Love Balloon represents moments of our story — joy, growth, resilience, and devotion. The words Be Mine speak to a promise that continues to hold meaning, while Love grounds the design as a reminder that true love both lifts and anchors the heart.

This piece was thoughtfully created using my LOKLiK iCraft™ machine, with all artwork, layouts, and lettering designed in Idea Studio to ensure precision and harmony throughout. I used LOKLiK permanent vinyl for clean, lasting detail, layered over cardstock and construction paper to add depth, texture, and dimension.

To bring the design to life, a floral dowel was wrapped in red curling ribbon, shaped into a soft V form, and carefully hot-glued to the back — allowing the Love Balloon to appear as if it’s gently floating upward, just like love itself.

The Love Balloon isn’t just a handmade creation — it’s a symbol of lasting love. Rooted, rising, and crafted with care, it reflects the kind of love that continues to grow, endure, and soar TOGETHER!!

Here’s my crafting-love week 2 entry 2:

Theme: Love In Making

IdeaStudio Link: See What I've Been Creating...

Story: This piece was inspired by the quiet truth that real love isn’t rushed — it’s built slowly, faithfully, and with intention. As I worked through this week’s theme, Love in Making, I kept thinking about how love grows the same way handmade creations do: layer by layer, moment by moment, with patience guiding every step.

The gears, lock, and key represent the inner workings of love — the parts no one sees but that hold everything together. The clock at the center reminds me that love deepens over time, not in a single moment. And the heart, bold and bright, is the place where all of that work comes together.

This project is my reminder that love is something we make with our hands, our choices, and our time. It’s shaped in the waiting, strengthened in the quiet, and made beautiful in its season.
