I just found the most beautiful handmade Valentine cards and papercrafts on the Lilybean Paperie blog. Melissa Phillips is the artistic mastermind behind all of the Lilybean creations; if you're a papercrafter, her blog is a fantastic place to visit for a bit of creative inspiration!

I love this card. I particularly like how she stitched on the bits of fabric and trim, a great way to use up any colorful but small pieces of fabric you may have lying around.

How adorable are these Be Mine Cupcakes?! She made the cute little toppers using scrapbooking techniques and materials. So sweet, so simple and such fun. Melissa even generously shared her cupcake recipe...mmm...cream cheese and chocolate chip centers!

What an adorable idea for kids' valentines. Complete instructions for making these Valentine Sucker Treats are available on the Provo Craft site using their Cricut product. If you don't have the Cricut, you could cut the shapes out of craft foam or card stock using scissors or an X-Acto knife.
