Valentine Themes and Layout Ideas
There are many ways to incorporate Valentine themes in to your layouts and it does not have to be all Hearts pink and gushing love! Use these themes such as Valentine Gnomes and more layout ideas to bring your Valentine pages in the modern world.
Try a Heart Collage Layout
Create a large heart shape on your page and fill it with smaller cut-out hearts in different colours and patterns. Use fussy cut hearts to frame your picture. Include photos in some heart shapes for a personalised touch. This page uses part of my Cosy Scrapbooking of knitted hearts that make a frame.
Use up Patterned Paper and Make Patch Works
Patchworks remind me of quilts made with Love! Use this idea to use up scraps of Scrapbooking papers to create a lovely Valentines page.
Use a Valentine Grid cut file
A Valentine grid is a simple and effective way to arrange your photos and patterned paper in a cohesive and organised layout. It allows you to effortlessly create a balanced design that is both visually appealing and easy to put together. This Valentine Grid is easy to cut on a Silhouette or Cricut Machine.
Interactive Layouts And Shakers
Make your layout interactive! Add flaps, pockets, or accordion folds to reveal hidden messages, mini photos, or love quotes. Use clear acetate windows for a peek-a-boo effect and fill with glitter to make a shaker! I made this Chocolate box SVG in to a shaker box for a Scrapbooking Layout.
Typography-Based Design
Feature large words like “LOVE” or “FOREVER” as your central design element. Place your photos around the image. Fill the letters and hearts with patterned paper, photos, or journaling. This I Love U SVG is perfect for this!
