Sometimes, you just need to express yourself—even if that means nerding out and declaring your love of Adobe to the love of your life. 🤣 How do you do that exactly? With this funny, cross-stitched DIY Valentine for Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign lovers, of course!

Naturally, there’s a version for my first Adobe love, Photoshop…

And a version for InDesign, which will always have a special place in my heart…

And yes, though not quite love at first sight, over the past many (many!) years, I’ve grown to love Illustrator just as much. This version is for Illustrator lovers and lovers of Illustrator.

All three Adobe cross-stitch Valentine patterns are available as instantly downloadable PDFs. They include:

• the respective printable cross-stitch Valentine pattern

• step-by-step instructions

• template for creating a DIY envelope and heart embellishments

• BONUS: SVG cut files for the hearts and envelope

If you’ve never stitched on paper before, it’s surprisingly simple and fun! With only a few supplies (mainly embroidery floss and a needle) you can create something special that will leave both you and your loved one—in stitches.
