Valentine’s Day Tissue Holders

I saw these super cute Valentine’s Day tissue cozies on the wonderful blog Stitch/Craft the other day. Instead of traditional Valentine’s Day cards, which I was thinking about letterpressing, I thought these would be fun to make and quite unique! This year Valentine’s Day AND Lunar New Year fall on the same day, so I was trying to come up with some creative card to celebrate both, but I was unsuccessful. Tissue holders to the rescue! And regular Lunar New Year Tiger cards to be letterpressed later!

I printed out clear and simple directions from Stitch/Craft and
purchased cute fabric from Joanne’s – hubby’s least favorite store after Michael’s – dragged him there since it was on the way one day!

And used some of these paper heart cards I got from The Paper Source many years ago but never got around to doing anything with them.  I just had to trim them a little and ended up using the envelope as a background as well. Voila!
