Thanks so much, Shirley! I’m happy you love it. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: This project means a lot to me, and to know you can relate to it, means a lot, too. Thanks for sharing your story with me. I strongly believe in affirmations and positive self-talk. As someone who grew up, basically, being taught to hate myself, affirmations helped me to learn to love myself — when I felt no one else did — as well. I believe in the power of the Word — we speak things into existence. So, when we speak negatively about ourselves, that’s who we become. Therefore, we should speak positively about ourselves, and others, so that we become the greatest we can be — without being arrogant, of course. It’s ok to love yourself, with humility. :heart:

I made some fun Candy heart stickers with printable vinyl.

I cut them by hand since I don’t have a icraft but I thought they were fun.

Here’s my #CraftingLove entry for Week 3 number 2
Theme: Everyday Life
IdeaStudio link: [Project | Renaissance Valentines Card]
story: I made this card for my hubby. I spent quite a few hours working on the original poetry. It’s not a strong suit of mine, either is photography which I’m sure you’ve noticed. My parents always called me a spoiled princess and my home life was not very good at all. There was so much abuse and then this knight of a man rushes in and takes me out of hell and gives me the best life I could imagine. He is my knight in shining armor. Has our life been perfect? No one’s is. Mine has been the life I could only dream of. It will be timeless.

This was made using cardstock and some glitterstock. All of the rework is from the LOKLiK library. The main picture was drawn on using the icraft cutting machine and zentangle was done to fill the spaces. I added some banners and flames at the corners and an accent strip on the inside. I hand wrote the original poem.

Here’s my #CraftingLove entry for Week 3 number 3
Theme: Everyday Life
IdeaStudio link: [Project | Tropical Valentines Card]
Story: I couldn’t decide which card to give my hubby so I decided to give them both to him. He is a selfless man who loves a few things with his whole heart. After myself and the kids is a love of all things Renaissance, the ocean, flying and animals. Cool guy, huh? I think so. I better not read this to him or he’ll get a big head. lol!

All the artwork is LOKLiK from the library. The poem … short and sweet is mine. The main design was printed on the icraft cutting machine and I did a little zentangle on it. Fish, sharks and waves were cut out of card and glitterstock.

Here’s my crafting-love Week 3 entry 3
Theme: what’s Love ( my kiddos) for this project
Ideal studio :

I am making two shirts same with each of their names.

Story: I made this shirt because of Karson Lee and Kaden Lane —

two little hearts that changed my whole world the moment they came into it.

Some days I’m tired.

Some days I’m overwhelmed.

Some days I don’t feel strong.

But every single day, I still show up for them.

I still smile for them.

I still push myself to make them happy —

even when I’m not okay inside.

That’s what real love is.

That’s what unconditional love looks like.

This design isn’t just cute words on a shirt —

it’s a piece of my heart, my healing, my motherhood, my purpose.

Because raising Karson Lee and Kaden Lane is my greatest calling,

and loving them is the strongest thing I’ll ever do.

“Momz Little Heartbreaker in Training”

was created from real life, real love, and a mama’s unbreakable heart :blue_heart:

Theme: Love In Everyday Life: Make Love Visible Everyday

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

There’s something magical about a handmade Valentine’s Day card — especially one that shakes, sparkles, and brings a smile the moment it’s picked up. This XOXO Valentine’s Day shaker card is one of those projects that looks beautifully detailed but is surprisingly simple to make, and it’s the perfect way to send a little extra love this season.

This design features bold cut‑out letters filled with a mix of beads, pearls, sequins, and tiny heart confetti. Every shake adds a burst of movement and charm, making the card feel playful, personal, and full of Valentine cheer. A classic red banner across the center ties everything together with a sweet “Happy Valentine’s Day” message.

Theme: Love In Everyday Life: Make Love Visible Everyday

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

Every now and then, a craft project carries a little more heart than usual — a story tucked between the layers, a feeling captured in paper and glue. This Valentine’s Day cherry blossom shadow box was inspired by one of those unforgettable moments from the Chinese drama Shine On Me, where the boy plans to meet the girl beneath a blooming cherry blossom tree only for life to take an unexpected turn. That bittersweet, hopeful scene became the spark behind this piece — a reminder that love doesn’t always follow the path we expect, but it still finds a way to bloom.

Inside the shadow box, delicate paper blossoms made from soft hearts gather on the branches, creating a gentle, romantic scene. The layered design gives the tree a sense of depth and quiet movement, almost like petals drifting in a spring breeze. And the phrase “You make my heart bloom” ties the entire piece together with a message that feels tender, timeless, and full of emotion.

Whether you’re creating it for a partner, a close friend, or simply as decor for your own space, it’s the kind of project that invites you to slow down and savor the process.

Theme: Love In Everyday Life

IdeaStudio Link: Project | The secret ingredient

Story: This sentiment is one I’ve used many times as an embroidery and I was all ready to recreate it in LokLik IdeaStudio. So, imagine how I felt when I found it already made for me in the library!

The text is cut from one of the beautiful sheets of HTV in the Valentines pack and, just to add a bit of sparkle, the images are made in glitter HTV.

This is the first time I’ve not embroidered an apron and I’m really pleased with the results.

Story: Another upcycle story. I saw these cute votive stands with holder in our local thrift store for .25 cents so I couldn’t pass them up. I love the Spring when everything wakes up from the deep Winter sleep. I always feel like I can breathe again when Spring blossoms. Spring is full of new beginnings and love is in the air. This will be for sale at our local farm store with a twin.

IdeaStudio Link: Project | It's what's inside

Story: I wanted to put together a sentiment that I could use on a tote bag and this just seemed to fit the bill.

The words have a double meaning. The first, what’s inside the bag and the second, what’s inside the person.

The font is from my own computer but the images of the hearts are from Loklik library.

It’s all made from the HTV from the Valentine’s pack and pressed in place with my Loklik heat press.

Story: for example: These cute images I found in Idestudio made me think of making them into stickers that I could gift to several friends and family members this year for Valentine’s Day. The best part is that they can add these cute little stickers to a notebook, on a special place, on a mirror to remind them of a small gesture of love. They are so adorable and so fun to show love and for the receiver to place it wherever they want

IdeaStudio Project | Whatever Makes Your Soul Happy

Story: I wasn’t around for the first two weeks of this event, but here’s my third entry for this week! :smile:

With Valentine’s being at the forefront of everyone’s thoughts at the moment. I wanted to create something that focused on self love and self worth. We always want to make others happy, so let’s take a moment to think of ourselves. The sentiment on this bag does just that! :hugs:

The text is from the Loklik library and I used the Idea Studio to place it inside the heart frame. I then used print and cut to put it onto a t-shirt transfer sheet. It was then put on the tote bag using my heat press at 180°C for 60 sec.

Theme Love in Everyday Life

IdeasStudio Link See What I've Been Creating...

Story For this week’s theme, I wanted to celebrate the kind of love that shows up in the small, ordinary moments — the kind that doesn’t need a holiday to be felt. “Moo‑st Be Yours” was created as the sweet companion to my “Handmade With Moo‑ch Love” cow, but he also stands on his own as a reminder that love becomes visible through simple gestures.

The little heart he holds isn’t grand or elaborate — it’s just a quiet message that says “I’m yours.” And sometimes that’s all it takes. A note. A smile. A tiny handmade gift. A moment of tenderness in the middle of a regular day.

This project reflects the idea that love doesn’t have to be loud to be real. It can be soft, steady, and woven into everyday life. Creating this piece reminded me that even the smallest acts of care can brighten someone’s world — and that’s the kind of love worth celebrating daily.
