From the Design Desk: Happy Early Valentine’s Day!

If you remember mixed tapes, you probably have a memory or two about giving or receiving a special compilation of music recorded on a cassette tape as a Valentine’s Day gift.
Valentine’s Day is less than a week away and I wanted to make a special mixed tape (well, a disk in this digital age) for our beloved Design Desk readers. Sadly, though, I quickly realized that I have no talent for doing this. So instead, I created two special Valentine’s Day color-ways of one of the label designs from Candy Orchard CD Packaging Kit. But wait, there’s more: I’ve also designed matching gift tags!!
You can download these special disk labels and gift tags from this link. Print them out, cut out carefully, paste on a disk with some spray mount, and voilà! Making a sweet and thoughtful mixed disk is this easy! You can apply these labels to movie DVDs, too. A private screening for two at your cozy home? I’m hearing a cork popping and smelling a chocolate cake from the oven…
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Hope you enjoy our little downloadable gift!

This is darling! Thanks so much, I’ll be linking to this.
Anything from the Magnetic Fields’ “69 Love Songs” would be great on a valentine’s day playlist. Even better with the pretty package!
Adorable! Off to post this on kirtsy.
Seriously, these are so cute!
these are sooo superpretty! for some reason, our truck’s cd player won’t play cds with handmade labels (boo!), so i think i’ll just print these out on cardstock and slip them into the cd case thingys as pretty covers, instead. thanks for sharing, i’ll be linking, for sure :)
This link did not work for me! Can you help?

Love these! I was looking for something similar also here in Italy but I haven't found it :-(
Where is possible to order the cd packagaing kits? I see on your online store that you accept orders from Italy.
