More Valentine Projects

Well I have been very busy this last week making some more cute Valentine's Day things.

I have almost used up all my pink (gasp) and red cardstock, so I guess I need to re-stock after Valentine's Day huh? LOL!

I received my Stampin Up "Love you Much" bundle and I'm having a blast creating with it, you gotta love all the pretty hearts and the Candylane papers are very nice as well.

This first project is a triangle box that holds 5 Hershey Kisses and I found the directions for it here. I stamped the large heart with Versamark ink then I used Embossing powder from Stampendous called "Red Dragon" its red & gold mixed and very sparkly. The border is paper from the Love you Much set and I also used Martha Stewarts floral border punch.

I think these would make a great little treat for anyone on your Valentine gift giving list, don't you think? :0)

Next is a Spring card I made using paper and stamps from the "Love you Much" SU bundle also. This was hard to photograph as the colors are really light and delicate. The scallop and hearts are all raised with dimensionals and have glitter on them but you cant really see that in the photo. I had some self-sticking pearls so I added those to the corners and in person this card is very pretty and delicate looking. You can find directions for making this fun card at Dawn's Stampin Studio.

I just love this next card as the graphic I chose to use is so cute and whimsical! I used my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots embossing folder for the background and Stampin Ups photo corner punch for the corners. The graphic is raised with dimensionals and I also added glitter to the bears wings, who doesn't love glitter! LOL.....

This last project is my favorite if I had to choose. It's pink, has cute kitties and cinnamon candies some of most favorite things :0)
I love making these matchbook candy treats and thought it would be nice to put them into a cute box to give as a gift. So I searched all my templates to find a box that would work but couldn't find one. Then I remembered this website where you can create your own box the size you want, all you have to do is enter the dimensions you need.
My box I put in 3" for the Width, 2.5" for the Height and 2" as the Thickness. I saved it to my computer and I made a template. I then cut it out and marked where to score on the template so then I was able to make the box using my Score-Pal.
This box holds 7 matchbook candies and I used individual wrapped cinnamon candies, Purrfect for this Valentine's Day gift!

Well I hope you all have enjoyed looking at my projects and I hopefully will add some more before Valentine's Day as long as I have some pink and red cardstock around to make more fun things with, LOL!
Thanks for visiting the Crafty Pink Palace :0)
