This week I am sharing the Valentines I made for my daughter’s classmates and my February planner spreads using the frozen friends stamp set from Kindred stamps
I found some heart shaped mini notepads at the dollar store, I decided to alter them with my stamps and makers to make candy free valentines. The First step was to take apart the notebook and measure the notebook. The notebooks I found were about 3 inches x 3 inches, I cut my card stock to 3 ¼ inches x 6 ½ inches and scored at 3 ¼.
Fold and crease the score line. Using the notebook cover I removed as a temple I traced the heart and cut it out.
Whenever I am making multiples of a project I use my Misti because I can stamp everything all at once and its always perfectly aligned. For quick easy coloring I like to used my Zig clean color real Brush Makers.

For the background I used the ink smooshing technique I scribbled Cobalt blue, light blue and Persian blue onto my craft mat and sprayed it with a bit of water. Using the clear packaging form the stamp set and mushed it into the ink and then onto my covers. The last thing to do was to staple the notebook back together and add a crayon.
Bonus Projects!
I adore this set so much I Had to used it for my February monthly spread and my first weekly spread. I used my Zigs right in my bullet journal but its not the best paper for Zigs, I think Tombow markers would of been a better choice. My snow queen and Snowman (on calendar spread) were stamped onto card stock and fussy cut because I needed to cover some oops. I used the snowman to cover up where my little Peanut scribbled and the snow Queen to cover up the bad stamping job I did.
I hope you enjoyed all of my projects! if you recreate any of these tag me on social media @TheCraftBean I would love to see your creations.
