Valentine Treat Box

I made this Valentine Treat Box for 2 challenges -- one at Joan's Gardens and the other at JUGS.....needed to make a box, add a flourish, butterfly and a flower. It was also my VERY first attempt at making a rose!

Top

This is looking at the bottom and the top at an angle. I made an origami box using GKD hot pink cs. Then used GKD white cs for the embossed nested heart from Spellbinders. I rubbed it in baby pink ink.

Side view

I used Spellbinders lacey squares to cut out the top using Cloud9Design dp, the stamps were Impressive stamps colored with Sakura glitter pens.
Added some lace along the sides, bling, flourish of pearls, Martha Stewart butterfly and my rose! I used the McGills punches to create the rose --starburst, floral petals and geranium leaf. It was exciting to have it actually turn out the first time!
Added some bows...AND Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day Cards

Front

Inside

Here is another Valentine Card. This one is an Iris folded butterfly on the front...using a variety of stash Valentine paper. Also used Fanciful Tags, Rick Rack Circles nestabilities. The cs is GKD pink, with Cloud9Desugn dp. Added some stickers, bling and ribbon.

The inside is an Outlines stamp that is colored with Sakura glitter pens. Also used a Northwoods stamp for the Happy Valentine's Day stamp and Hero Arts is Hugs & Kisses. Added some stickers.

Front

This is another one. I used GKD pink cardstock, St. Valentine collection dp. The stamp of the dog and kitty is Penny Johnson Stampavie. The saying is Impressive stamp. It is hard to see in the picture but the background has been stamped with an embossing folder by Sizzix. Colored with Sakura glitter pens, copics, added some bling and ribbon.

Inside

The inside was GKD dark pink cs embossed with Sizzix folder and Martha Stewart heart border punch. The stamp was Inkadinkado. Some added bling and Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Front

This one was for a Stamp TV sketch challenge. This is also for a heart and ribbon challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used the Valentine theme that I've been working on for this one.

I used the hearts and ribbon tags spellbinders...stamped with Mark's Finest Hearts stamp and colored with Smooch. Then added some ribbon, bling and a heart doily. It was GK red, pink cs and cloud9design dp.

And also did line and decorate the envelope!

This is the inside which I had stitched on and then stamped and added a little bling of course ! :-)

Hearts

Finally got a Valentine's Card done....I have been fiddling WAY too long on this project. But I wanted to do stitching and tried to figure out how to do that....and then of course I had to use the spellbinders nestablities and do some cutting...then had to do some embossing...then had to do some coloring....then had to add some ribbon....and some bling....and line the envelope.....BUT at last ONE is done!!!!

Going to enter this one in Mark's Finest...Speedy Challenge...to use hearts...I have plenty of those on both the inside and outside!! Also on Really Reasonable Ribbons challenge...hearts and a bow....

This is the outside

This is the inside.

On the outside I embossed with a Sizzix folder...then colored the hearts with copics. I used an Outline fan stamp, colored with copics, fine line markers and added a ribbon and bling.

The envelope is lined with heart paper that matches the inside. It is from DCWV.

This is the inside where I did my stitching. Joan had given me some clues as to what to do...and this was my first attempt and it did work!!! I put 2 paper hearts behind it and added an Outline stamp and colored and of course, a little bling! Embossed with love on the bottom.
