My Nutty Valentine is fun spin on the traditional Valentine’s Day gift. 

It’s for people like me that are not mushy Valentine’s Day gift-givers.

My inspiration came from a small can of peanuts* that I found at Dollar Tree*.

My husband is a peanut-loving guy who I’m nuts about.

So, I thought I would make something fun with a can of peanuts*.

Directions:

• I cut all the pieces of the squirrel using StyleTechCraft Adhesive Gloss Craft Vinyl* and a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*.
• I removed the extra vinyl in and around the image using a Vinyl Weeding Tool.
• Next, layer the pieces to make the squirrel.

• Cut a strip of decorative scrapbook paper to fit around the peanut can.
• Adhere the paper to the can using a double-stick tape roller*.

• Lay the Transfer paper over the vinyl and gently rub with a vinyl scraper tool.

• Place the Vinyl Transfer Tape* and vinyl onto the peanut can.

• Rub over Vinyl Transfer Tape* and gently remove from the vinyl.

• Don’t forget to decorate the top of the can.
• I cut a 3″ circle from bronze vinyl and adhered it and a small red heart to the top of the can.

• Wrap Blue and White Twine* around the top of the can and add a small white tag.
• And just so my husband knows, I added “I’m Nut’s About You” on the side of the can.
