Have a great day
Particularly well suited for Valentines cards and decorations, the concept behind these projects are taking the initials from your pedigree, and carving the initials in a tree and interpreting them into Valentines Art.

Colors, Initials and embellishments to suite your style.
![Tiny alphabet stamps](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9561.png?resize=300%2C222&ssl=1)
I started by purchasing a set of alphabet stamps that were suitably small enough to stamp the wooden hearts.
![Stamping the symbols on the wooden hearts](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9565.png?resize=250%2C300&ssl=1)
I stamped the “&” symbol first on each heart
![Finished hearts](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9567.png?resize=300%2C242&ssl=1)
They don’t have to be perfect, but even if you have not painted the hearts you still have 2 chances to get the perfect look . . . if you don’t like it turn it over and try again.
![Embellish your stamped hearts](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9568.png?resize=300%2C255&ssl=1)
Either before or after stamping you can color and or embellish the hearts any way you please. Or trace over the stamped initials in alternative colors.
![Position your hearts](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9570.png?resize=300%2C278&ssl=1)
Hot glue your hearts onto the chocolate box or Valentine . . . .
![Connect your hearts with bits of twigs.](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/Box-Top-1.png?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1)
Snip some pieces of twigs to go between your hearts and hot glue in place. If you don’t like their color you can paint them either before or after glueing in place.

This same style of “Carved Initials” Pedigree makes a great Valentines Card
