Just remember if you plan to put vinyl on the inside pages, be sure to use paper transfer tape. It will keep your inside pages from being pulled up when you remove the transfer tape.

DIY Cricut Bullet Journals For Valentine’s Day

Forever My Love Pink Heart Bullet Journal

I fell in love with this journal mostly because of the inside pages. They are covered with scattered white hearts on a gray background. This same pattern is also on the last two pages of the journal as well. So many possibilities for these heart pages!

This journal was also pretty unique because of the faux leather heart centered on the cover. The heart was also sewn on with two rows of simple stitch going down the middle. There are 128 lined pages to add your personal story onto and create a lasting memory journal.

Here are those heart pages…adorable, aren’t they?! I could definitely see adding some vinyl to these pages.

Pink Heart Journal Details

• Pink Faux Leather Lined Journal (TJMaxx)
• Cricut Permanent Vinyl Tomato Red
• Cricut Design Space Font: Alphalicious
• Words were sized to 2.14 inches x .28 inches (pretty small!)

As you can see from the Cricut Design Space image above, even at this smallest size wording I could do, it would never have been able to be placed on one side of the heart. So that is why I broke up the wording to flank both sides of the heart at the bottom.

All I did was cut the words in one cut then just separated them using scissors, before burnishing down.

Don’t worry if you can’t find this specific pink heart journal because you can make your own. All you need is a heart sticker patch and a bullet journal!

Creating a DIY Cricut Bullet Journal for Valentine’s Day or for gifting is a great idea! But, you don’t want to just hand over the finished journal, right?! I know I wouldn’t. That’s why I’ve listed out four ways that you can gift a bullet journal with a little more flair to your gift and/or presentation.

4 Ways To Gift A Bullet Journal

Once you have customized the cover of your bullet journal you can use a variety of ways to gift it to someone special. Below are just 4 ideas for gifting a DIY Cricut Bullet Journal for Valentine’s Day.

1. Write a special message on the inside cover and sign with your name and date. Add a little extra flair by hand-lettering your message or using a fountain pen.
2. If gifting to someone who is artistic include with the bullet journal some creative items such as paints, watercolors, brushes, pens, charcoals, etc.. The idea is to include items that relate to their area or interest of art.
3. Give the bullet journal with a list of journal prompts to help them get started.
4. Wrap and/or use in a compiled gift basket of Valentine’s goodies (or related holiday goodies) such as a candle, chocolates or anything they can enjoy as they journal!
