This year, I’ve joined the “Create with Cricut Challenge”–which pretty much means they’re going to throw a material at me and I’m going to have to come up with something crafty. January’s material is felt! And being Valentines Day soon and all, I though it might be nice to make up a Love Letters 5-minute Valentine with my Cricut Maker.

See what I did there? Love letters…the I and the U with a heart? Yeah…sometimes I only amuse myself.

BUT, it’s still a cute idea even if it’s punny and if you want to use the letters to spell out LOVE or the recipient’s name, that would be even more perfect.

Love Letters 5 Minute Valentine Materials

3 Colors of stiff felt
Gold Cricut foil iron-on
Hot Glue
Love Letters project in Cricut Design Space
Velcro coins (like these)

The color combination is really up to you–these would look wonderful in pale blue and red as well!

After you have your materials together, open up the project file in Design Space by clicking here. Everything you need is here! If you want to do a different word or name, now’s the time to make that customization. Click “Make It” when you’re ready and cut your pieces out. I used the rotary attachment to cut out my felt on the Cricut pink mats.

The “Love Letters” mat needs to cut out of iron on vinyl. I love the gold foil on everything–but red foil would have been great!
