tuTORIal: Call Me Maybe Valentine
Today is your lucky day because one of my fave craftistas is back again with a super cute and timely Valentine’s Day craft! The one and only Jenny Dixon of Craft That Party has put together an adorable and super original V-Day craft for us that’ll definitely make you want to get your DIY on. It's Jenny’s “Call Me Maybe” Valentine. Take it away Jenny...
Have you heard the song Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen? The popular song inspired Rebekah of A Blissful Nest to create a fun Valentine's Day Party Collection and dessert table to match. I instantly fell in love with the teal/pink stripes and retro gold phone and knew I had to work this theme into our Valentines this year!

Feeling inspired by the collection, I decided to make Valentines using chocolate "telephone numbers" as an edible, fun version of "here's my number"...
Materials:
- Paper CD sleeves
- Chocolate melts (red and pink)
- Silicone number mold
- Call Me Maybe Snack Tags
Instructions:
- Melt pink and red chocolates on the stove or in the microwave. Pour melted chocolate into a silicone mold.
- After cooled, the numbers easily pop right out.
- Place chocolate numbers in a paper CD sleeve or plastic bag.
- Print a snack bag tag from the Call Me Maybe printable collection and attach to the top of the bag or CD sleeve with double sided tape.
Wouldn't this be a cute way to give someone your phone number, maybe?!!
So cute Jenny! I absolutely love this craft and it's inspired by one of Liam and Stella's favorite songs, so I know they'll love it too.
Stay tuned because Jenny will be back next week with another V-Day craft that you don’t want to miss!

Love,

Love the turquoise and pink color scheme! My daughter would love this Call Me Maybe theme. I found these super cute fortune cookies that we made for teachers and valentine's this year: http://www.sheknows.com/holidays-and-seasons/articles/981537/mailable-fortune-cookie-craft. The mailman gave me a really strange look when I dropped them off! -
Really cute idea, I love it. My special valentine is 8 any ideas as of what to make for him?

omg so cute! when I was first dating my husband.. I think it might even have been after we were engaged, I'm not sure.
I melted chocolates from Michaels with a heart mold I have and I had gotten a pastic red heart container. I put the chocolates inside the container ( red, pink, chocolate) and wrote something on the front I think it was Happy Valentines Day or something and delivered it to him at his office :)
One other thing I did at Michaels was I bought a bear, both sweats for the bear, and then on the shirt I wrote debugger protector (because at the time he worked with Microsoft as a debugger) and I believe delivered that with the chocolates.
I have a Pooh Bear cross stitched item that I framed and I cross stitched a heart and my initials. It sits in our kitchen. I love doing those projects! I did one for my sister as well. -
