Valentine Note Card & Treat Box




Valentine's is just a few days away.  How did that happen?  I was out of town for a few days and again, working with limited supplies.  The Tiny Treat Boxes have been retired, but the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes are a fabulous replacement!  I cut the Kraft Cardstock to make a 3.5"x3.5" notecard.  The stamped/die cut clouds were left over from  a previous project and I had a scrap piece of cardstock and these little birds from the Made With Love stamp set were stamped all over it.  I used the heart die from the Up & Away Thinlits Dies to cut it out. The heart-shaped window opening on the box was made with the same heart die. I place a thick piece of cardstock inside the flattened box, to protect the back of the box from accidentally being cut through. I used the 2x8 cellophane bags to hold the red m&m's.  This is a very versatile project for Valentine's Day, escpecially if you are short on time.  A simple note card and cute little box of candies is always a welcome treat.

Bugs and Kisses


Can I tell you how excited I was when I saw the Beetles & Bugs stamp set in the new Occasions Catalog?   My hubby is a licensed pest control applicator (aka "The Exterminator"), specializing in bugs.  I've been having a ball behind the scenes with this stamp set.   This card is perfect for Valentine's Day or any old day, just to say "I love you."  The heart-covered paper is from A Little Foxy DSP Stack.  And don't forget those sweet little Enamel Shapes!


Have to give credit to Sunday Stamps for my color and paper choices.  Their latest challenge (SSC145 Poppy Palette) saved me from hours of indecisiveness.  Rock on, Sunday Stamps! 

Also inspired by all of the "love" over at SUO Challenge where the theme is 'Valentines'.

I heat-embossed the black outline of the little bug, just to add some definition since it's a rather small image.
