❤️ Week 1 #Crafting-Love Recap | Love Has So Many Meanings

Week 1 of our #Crafting-Love Weekly Challenge has officially wrapped up, and what a beautiful way to see so many ways to express the meaning of love!

This week’s crafting love were truly stunning. What touched us most wasn’t just how gorgeous everything looked, it was how each of you expressed your own understanding of love in different forms. Some pieces reflected the quiet, lasting love of standing by each other through everyday life. Some captured the love found in the little daily moments, a kind hug, a gentle kiss, a sweet note, or a simple “thinking of you” that warms the heart. Thank you all for sharing your creativity, stories, and inspiration with the community.

:gift: Participation & Rewards

In Week 1, we received 16 project submissions, and after review, 15 met the activity requirements.

With 15+ valid entries, the Weekly Grand Prize for the final week was successfully unlocked!

Here are the rewards for Week 1:

:gift: Weekly Grand Prizes × 2 Each winner receives a $40 Gift Card
:yellow_heart: Participation Rewards All other valid entries (excluding prize winners) will receive 100 Cheers as a thank-you for sharing your creativity.

Now, let’s highlight the Week 1 Grand Prizes, whose projects beautifully captured the home décor spirit.

:medal_sports: Grand Prize Winner 1: @esti_pi

esti_pi’s “Beer lover” stands out for its fun, personal twist on Valentine’s Day, blending a love story with a “cheers with friends” vibe in such a creative way. By designing custom bottle labels with elegant brush lettering (cut in LOKLiK gold vinyl) and pairing them with a handmade pop-up heart card, the whole set feels thoughtful, gift-ready, and full of personality. The layered cover details and clean color choices make it look polished, while the pop-up elements add that extra “wow” moment when you open it. :beers:

:medal_sports: Grand Prize Winner 2: @shirleycobb

shirleycobb’s “What’s Love :heart: xoxo (Hugs & Kisses)” stands out for its deeply heartfelt story and emotional strength. This piece goes beyond beautiful craftsmanship, it reflects a journey of healing, gratitude, and unconditional love. The warm materials, bold lettering, and thoughtful composition make it both visually striking and deeply meaningful, a reminder that love can heal, protect, and give us the strength to move forward.
