Security Envelope Valentine: Another “As seen on TV” Craft Project
I grabbed a blank cards and cut a heart shape out of one the security lined envelopes that my bills are mailed in.
I used a glue stick to glue a small paper doily to the front of the card, then glued the security paper heart on top of the doily, so only the lace edge is visible.
Then, I outlined the heart shape with hand-stitched sequins. (My favorite part of this project.)
To hide the stitching, glue a piece of cardstock to the inside cover of the card with rubber cement.
This project is easy, making it a realistic last minute Valentine’s craft.
Speaking of love… I’m working on a story about couples who make their relationship a top priority. I’m looking for West Michigan residents who have regularly scheduled date nights with their sweeties, or have advice to offer other couples about keeping the romance alive. Please email me if you have a story to share.

What a cute idea. I’m always a fan of projects that use items I already have lying around the house, and I never would have thought that was the inside of a security envelope! Thanks!

Just discovered your blog from a gift my husband made me for my birthday…a collection of CD’s, including Podcasts that he thought may interest me! I listened to your Podcast interviewing the double stitch twins this morning and had to check out your site.
So, I don’t have a story per se, but would like to share that for Christmas, I gave my husband a subscription to a theater that puts on great plays (Berkeley Repertory Theater) so that we now have built in date nights for the next six months. He loved the gift, and yes, I get to benefit as well.
We’ve only been to one performance this far and had such a good time. It was so nice to feel so ‘adult.’ Can’t wait for the next one!
