Valentine Coupon Book

Don’t tell my husband but he’s getting a special Valentine this year. We were looking through some old papers a few weeks ago and came across coupon books that we had given each other on our fifth anniversary, when we had two little ones and money was tight. I decided to revisit the idea and give him one this coming Valentine’s Day. Of course, in the early days, all these cool supplies and tools were not available to create with. Technology is a wonderful thing. I’m happy to share this project with the FaveCrafts viewers! Click here to see the Blog Hop

Spray adhesive
Faux velvet
Foam strips
Strong double-sided tape

1. Run 6″ x 13″ cream mat board through the Big Shot using the Notebook Pocket ScoreBoards die.
2. Center Textured Impressions folder at the bottom of the cut out box and run through Big Shot again. Repeat on back side.
3. Using spray adhesive, adhere red faux velvet to a 5″ x 5″ scrap of mat board. Position Primitive Heart die on scrap and die cut with Big Shot.

5. Die-cut a small flower from fleece using the Box w/Scallop Flap & Flowers or other small flower die you happen to have. Punch a hole in heart where desired and poke a brad through the flower and secure to the heart.
6. Use foam tape to raise heart and position on top of scrap teal rectangle.

2. Punch hole at top of booklet and insert brad or ribbon to keep book together. This also makes it easy to remove a page when a coupon is redeemed.
