Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue! That just about describes my Valentine’s cookies this year!
Something Old:
I have been filling little Valentine mailboxes with cookies for years now. The first time I documented it was in 2011 here on the blog! If you’d like a good laugh, and to see how far I’ve come, take a look at “Valentine’s Mailboxes 2011.”
Here is the 2018 version:

Another oldie but goodie are “lip cookies.” Royal icing makes the perfect lip imprint by just simple zig-zagging. I’ve always loved this look. This year I added a little glittery gloss to my normal lips. Pretty fun!

Something New:
You know I love a good Kate Spade effect. And the black and white stripes (plus gold and floral) go right within that theme! I designed this medium boxed set with a “Galentine” in mind!

I made my mini set with ballet colors in mind. Black, white and light pink is a simple but sweet color scheme, and everyone loves minis! Next, I added a cookie tic-tac-toe set because Target calls my name with it’s cute stuff!


Something Borrowed:
I’m always inspired by other “cookiers” and cookie shops. I had to use the adorable hedgehog and cactus cutter from The Sweet Design Shoppe this year. I mean, COME ON!!! Too cute!


I also borrowed a couple ideas from Buttercup Love Designs with their stencils! I love the edible maze and the PYO owls stencil!


Something Blue:
Ahh, yes, my favorite Valentine’s color scheme. Is red, pink and turquoise! So I made some simple “Happy Valentine’s Day, Name cookie and “I love us,” cookies in my favorite color scheme!



This is so amazing!! Wow!! I wish I saw it sooner, that Valentine’s mailbox is awesome! Love all the ideas.
