This week is all about quick and easy Valentine’s projects. That’s what happens when you birthday falls the week before Valentine’s Day and you decide to take the entire week off…you cram almost all of the Valentine’s Day stuff into one week. Last year, I said I was going to get them all done and posted before my week off. You see how that went! 😉
Anyhoo…do you read Momastery? If not, you should…like right now. Click over there and start reading. You can come back here when you’re done…I’ll wait.
Ok, welcome back. Did you notice anything over there? How about an awesome saying: “Love Wins”? I love it…don’t you?
When I was trying to decide what to put on my little display plate for Valentine’s Day, that phrase immediately popped into my head. In fact, I love it so much that I might find a different color plate so I can keep it out all year round. For now, let’s stick to the Valentine’s Day one though…
Now, as promised, this is super fast and simple to make.
Start by getting these items together:
– A plate. Mine is one of those chargers from Michaels that I got for $.25 after Christmas. You can go to the store now and get one but, since it is Valentine’s Day, they are probably $1.25.
– White vinyl {or if you are a super crafter, stencils and white paint}
– Plate stand or a good wall 😉
I used my Cameo to cut out all the letters {and some hearts by request for H}. Then, I peeled away all of the negative space to make it easy for my transfer tape.
I cut my transfer tape into strips the size of my words since I would be applying each word separately What? I’m cheap and didn’t want to waste the vinyl by designing it just like it would go on the plate.
I pressed the transfer tape onto my word and then peeled it up so the word was stuck to it.
Now, just put that onto the plate where you want it go and press down really well so the vinyl sticks to the plate. Peel away your transfer tape.
Remember all those heart H wanted me to cut out of my vinyl? Well, she also insisted that I put them on the plate. I’m raising a bossy little 5 year old for sure.
I put them on the outer portion of the plate and photographed to appease her.
Then, I promptly convinced her that the non-heart version was better. {Mommy can be a bit bossy too}
Happy {almost} Valentine’s Day!

What a great idea! I have never used transfer paper. Is it possible to remove it to reuse the plate for future messages? Thanks!!!

Visiting from Tatertots and Jello. It made me smile to see that someone else uses the term “love wins.” I’m the coordinator for a MOPS group and I’ve been sharing with my moms over the last several months how love ultimately wins in the end! Thanks again!
