Arden and Hadley both love clementines – we call them “tiny oranges” around here. So I thought I’d send cutie Valentines for Hadley’s preschool and Arden’s dance class exchanges.
I picked up the Cuties graphic from their website and doctored it up a bit by removing the “s” and adding “I think you’re a real” and “Valentine” to the graphic. I opened the graphic in Silhouette Studio and resized it to fit the average dimensions of a clementine. Then I selected image traced to have it cut an outline around the label and added two 1/2″ bands to fasten around the cutie.
I love this healthy and “cutie” alternative to candy for Valentine’s Day. Here’s the file I created.

My daughter loves these but we can’t find them anymore! I would have loved for her to give these instead of candy for sure! What a great file. I’m pinning it in hopes of finding some cuties this week. Thank you!
Great idea!!
DARLING!!!! I am going to share on FB 🙂
I love this idea!!! So much better than candy!

Hi! I love this idea and can’t wait to take it to my 2 year old’s daycare class Friday. But, when I went to print them, I only had 1 image that was over 1/2 the page. What were the final dimensions of your little label? I was thinking I could resize it in Photoshop…but figured you’d know the best dimensions. Thanks so much!
