Super Simple Donut Valentines

The votes are in and the battle between donuts & balloons has a winner. Donuts.(If you have no clue what I’m talking about, check out last night’s post on the Damask Love Facebook Page!)

Today’s project is embarrassingly simple, which means I will accept zero excuses for not running and making a pile of these…stat!

As you probably already know, every month I bring you a little dose of Martha Stewart crafting along with the rest of the 12 Months of Martha blogger team. Currently, I am mildly obsessed with the Martha Stewart Glitter Glue which is leaps and bounds better than other glitter glues out there. The fine tip gives you lots of controls the high glitter concentration means you get plenty of sparkle.  Ok…commercial over…let’s make something.

Simple Donut Valentine's | Damask Love Blog{1} Use the circle cutter to cut a 1″ circle in the center of your cardstock, then, WITHOUT moving the circle cutter, cut again at the 4 3/8 notch.

{2} Repeat step one on a piece of light pink cardstock (or the color of your choice)

{3} On the pink cardstock, use scissors to cut a wavy outer edge

{4} Use a makeup sponge and a brown inkpad to gently apply brown shading to the edge of the light brown cardstock. This step is optional but gives your paper donut a freshly baked look.

{5} Adhere the “icing” to the “donut”

{6} Use glitter glue to add sprinkles and allow the glitter glue to dry for 30-60 minutes.

thepackagingI created 5″ square envelopes for my donut valentines and inserted a bag of candies into each one. On the back of each donut, I stamped the perfect sentiment. When it’s all said and done, I’ve got an adorable valentine in just a few minutes.

    Thanks for your posting. I would also love to opinion that the very first thing you will need to complete is find out if you really need credit score improvement. To do that you will need to get your hands on a replica of your credit report. That should really not be difficult, considering that the government mandates that you are allowed to have one free copy of your actual credit report yearly. You just have to request that from the right people today. You can either find out from the website for the Federal Trade Commission and also contact one of the leading credit agencies specifically.

    Thanks for your post made here. One thing I would really like to say is the fact most professional fields consider the Bachelor’s Degree just as the entry level standard for an online college degree. Whilst Associate Certification are a great way to begin, completing the Bachelors uncovers many opportunities to various professions, there are numerous online Bachelor Diploma Programs available through institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions make available Online variations of their college diplomas but usually for a drastically higher amount of money than the corporations that specialize in online education plans.
