DIY Valentine’s Day Magnets using Journal Cards

Hi guys!!

Valentine’s Day is one of my family’s favorite holidays. I love crafting and creating fun things for my loved ones during this time of the year!

I decided to put my journal cards to a new use with the Valentine’s Day project I’m sharing with you today by cutting out refrigerator magnets.

For this project I used:

  • Journal Cards from Memory Pockets Monthly: Crush
  • Silhouette Cameo cutting machine (any cutting machine or just a good ole pair of scissors will work)
  • Silhouette printable magnet paper
  • printer

First I opened the Silhouette Studio Software and brought in some of my favorite 3×4 and 4×4 journal cards from the Memory Pockets Monthly main kit.

I resized them to fit on a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and within the registration marks.

I then selected my trace area and tracing along the outside of the journal cards.

Once this was completed I printed this page on printable magnet paper.

After the magnets were printed, I selected the print settings for “printable magnet sheet”. This is what the setting look like inside Silhouette Studio.

I placed my printed page on a cutting mat and sent my project to the silhouette to print. I did have to do a double cut on these.

I love looking at these cute magnets decorating my fridge for Valentine’s Day! AND I love having a fun new use for my journal cards!!

These would also make a fun gift to include in a Valentine’s Day card to a friend or your child’s classmate.

I hope this post has inspired you to craft something fun for Valentine’s Day and use your journal cards in a new way!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
