Valentine's Cards and Mini Crocheted Hearts

Hello Crafty Friends!

I want to share with you a few Valentine's cards that I made. A while back I started crocheting tiny flowers to use on cards and layouts. I found quite a few sites with tutorials and lots of different patterns. I just recently came across a great blog Little Birdie Secretswith some instructions on how to make tiny crocheted hearts. I got out some embroidery floss and gave it a try. It's addiciting and I made quite a few in different colors.


Here is a card that I made with one of them:




I also made a couple using twine from The Twinery
Here they are on cards:





Thanks for stopping by!

    What a fabby idea! I've seen crocheted flowers, snowflakes and butterflies, but never hearts. This is gorgeous...and the baker's twine makes it even more so!

    Super cute cards. I love to crochet, and I love the pattern you used for the hearts. Doily thread is my favorite thread to work with. Nice JOB!
