Is anyone else still coming down from the holiday high after Christmas?
Unfortunately for us cookiers, there's not a lot of time for rest. With 2019 almost upon us, that means Valentine's Day is quickly approaching. I wanted to act fast and stock the shop up with new Valentine's Day holiday options as soon as I possibly could. Hopefully, this gives you more than enough time to plan out your own cookie options for the upcoming holiday.
Before I get to the new cookie cutters, I wanted to take the time to thank everyone for a prosperous 2018! It was definitely a busy year that included a difficult move across the country for me. Thank you for enduring through my travels while still offering your continued business and support!
As a thank you, many of you requested specific designs for the upcoming Valentine's Day season as well as general designs to have in the new year. I tried my best to come up with designs for your requests in this new collection of cookie cutters. Here's a brief summary of all the new Valentine's Day cookie cutters in my shop.

Decorated Valentine’s Day Cookie Ideas
Bunting Flag Cookies
This bunting flag cookie cutter is a simple design with endless decorating possibilities.
I decorated it two different ways to show it's versatility. One as a farmhouse style shiplap set (above) and one as a traditional "XO" themed Valentine's set (below).
The size of this bunting flag was made to fit four cookies in this new BRP long cookie box (12" x 5" x 1.5").
The stencils used in these two designs will be available in the shop in a few days.
Valentine Hearts Cookie Set
I'm all heart eyes about this Valentine Hearts Set. However, I need to warn you. You must be careful when selecting the sizes. I made them particularly to fit in the two boxes below.
LARGE- The cutters in this size are 4.5" wide to fit 4 cookies in this new BRP long cookie box (12" x 5" x 1.5").
REGULAR- These cutters are 4" wide and meant to fit 3 cookies in this classic BRP cookie box (7" x 4 3/8" x 1.25").
These Valentine's Day cookie cutter can be purchased as a 4-piece set, or individually where you can pick and choose. You can find the individual shapes here: Valentine Banner, Love Letters, Arrow Hearts, and Winged Heart.
Teacup Cookies
This teacup cookie cutter makes the perfect pun. I paired it with this accent plaque with the phrase "You're a hot tea." (get it? hottie?)
There are tons of other puns that would work as well. Like, "You're my best tea", "You're tea-riffic", "You're my cup of tea", and so on. Let me know if you can think of any more. I'd love to hear them!
Robot Cookies
This robot cookie cutter is for those tech lovers. This is also a cookie cutter design that you need to pay close attention to with sizing.
LARGE- This size I paired with the LARGE accent plaque again. As a pair, they fit in these 7 3/8″ x 5 1/2” boxes from Paper Mart.
REGULAR- This size is 4" tall and will fit a single 4" x 4" gift box. Or pair it with a REGULAR size accent plaque in this classic BRP cookie box (7" x 4 3/8" x 1.25").
Berry Cookies
How cute are these strawberry and blueberry cookies? Berry cute, right?
The sizes of these cookies in the example photo are all LARGE sizes. They will fit as a trio in new BRP long cookie box (12" x 5" x 1.5") or as a single in this 4" x 4" gift box.
Taco and Margarita Cookies
I had a few requests for a sturdy margarita glass cookie cutter, where the stem of the glass is supported or less-likely to break during shipping. I think I came up with a version that foot's the bill.
I paired this margarita cookie with a taco design. Just like the berries above, the sizes of these cookies in the example photo are all LARGE sizes. They will fit as a trio in new BRP long cookie box (12" x 5" x 1.5") or as a single in this 4" x 4" gift box.
These Valentine's Day cookie cutters are now available for purchase from my shop. However, over the next couple of days, I plan on doing a tutorial of a few of these cookie designs in detail. So be on the lookout for those upcoming posts.
