You're A-Maze-ing

Hello! I can hardly believe it but Valentine's Day is quickly approaching. I've been busy making Valentines for my kids' classroom parties and will share those soon. In the mean time these are actually what I made for them to give to their classmates last year and I never posted, so here you go!

I combined a bunch of different sets to create these fun maze themed Valentine's last year. I actually have maze sets from two different stamp companies, and used them both! The main maze is from a Papertrey Ink set called The A-Maze-ing Stamp Set, and it is currently on clearance for just $5!

The sentiment at the bottom is from a retired My Favorite Things set called You're A-Maze-ing. The little arrow at the start of the maze is from another MFT set called Interactive Labels. And the stripes down at the bottom are actually an airmail stripe image from a PTI set called Love You to Pieces: Airplane

The pink heart in the middle of the maze is also from the MFT set You're A-Maze-ing. 

The sentiment at the very top is another retired stamp set, called Keep it Simple: Valentine. 

One of my favorite parts of the project is the die I used to attach the pencil to the Valentine! It is a die from Papertrey Ink called Write Stuff Holders. There are two dies in the set, one is sized to hold a crayon and the other is sized to hold a pencil, so fun! These were quite a bit of work (so much stamping for a mass produced project!) but I love how they turned out and the kids really had fun with them. I'm almost done with this year's Valentines and will hopefully share those soon. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
