According to my trend-o-meter, gems are the new hot thing. Now, I’ve been a fan of gems ever since Ring Pops showed up on the scene. A big gaudy piece of jewelry…that’s edible? Um. Yes, please.
Valentine’s day is only two weeks away so we should probably use a few gemstones to celebrate. When I spotted these and these at Minted, I was immediately inspired to create a simple and adorable classroom valentine that you could whip up in minutes. You just need the right supplies:
- First you’re gonna need some gemstones…and unless you are some sort of filthy rich crafter, the plastic variety will do just fine. The bigger and gaudier – the better!
- Gold metallic crowns are what make this DIY valentine kit so fun. Kids (and grownups too) will love customizing their crown. I especially love these crowns because they are miniature and fit nicely into a treat bag.
- Of course you’ll need some valentines. These and these are perfect and you can customize the shapes or even add gold foil!
- Square foam dots are great for this project. Just keep scrolling and I’ll show you why
- ..and of course, my lovely Xyron 3″ sticker maker appears in this project…because I love it so much.
Are you loving the gem trend!?
Thanks to Minted for sponsoring today’s installment of Easy Like Sunday Morning!
lol… a big gaudy piece of jewelry that I can eat? Yes please! <– my thoughts exactly. Perfect lollipop on the go!
What fun little treat bags Amber!
First – I just love reading your blog postings! You always have wonderful ideas and your instructions make them easy to understand the how-to’s…a true gift! Second, I’m so in love with your gem crown Valentines! I just placed an order with Amazon to get the gems, crowns, and the Xyron. Wish I could afford the Minted cards, but will have to come up with my own stamped version. I think I have some stamps that looks like gems. Anyway, thanks for providing me with such lovely crafty information in such a classy writing style!
Love Love Love!

Hello. You have very interesting work and for you I want to give you a little advice that I hope will help you) I advise you to use purple background images. It’s hard to find a picture on the internet that is of high quality but also suitable, and that’s when I was looking for a purple background, and luckily I still ended up with purple background images. This is the best source of images I have ever come across, and therefore I recommend it to all of you if you are looking for quality and suitable images.
