A Valentine's Treat Box

I thought I better share this since Valentine's Day is tomorrow!  lol!  We are actually celebrating today- both my hubby and I have Fridays off so we are going out on a fun lunch date while the kids are at school!

I made this treat for SRM Stickers.  It features one of their new clear takeout boxes- I think they are so cute!!

After stuffing the take out box with gummy conversation hearts, I closed the top up and wrapped a bit of solid Pink Sorbet Twine around the handle.  I know it won't pop open but I do have two little girls here... I am hoping the fact that the bow is there will stop them from sampling the candy!  

 I picked two sticker sheets out of my stash to use on this: We've Got Your Border/Valentine's and Quick Cards/Love.  I added the circles border first, along the top edge of the box.  I added the black zig zag border sticker over the top of the circles.  

I cut a tag out of vellum and added the {love} sticker to it.  I stuck the heart in a circle down on a small white Scalloped Punched Piece and layered it over the vellum tag.

I added a simple heart sticker and sequin to finish off the details.  Easy and fun!  The colors of the border stickers are the perfect shades to go along with my candies too!

Hope you have a great Valentine's Day and President's Day weekend!!

One in a Million Valentine's Treat Bags

Hello!  I have been off the radar for a few days haven't I?  Not on purpose :)  January was pretty busy and it's looking like February will be too!  My crafty time has been cut down a little and I guess it shows...

I'm glad I have time to share this morning- I have a fun project up on the Waffle Flower Crafts Blog as part of their Silly Valentine's Week!  I was inspired by my daughters' love for glow-in-the-dark stars to create Valentine's Day treats featuring them for their friends:

I split a large package of stars up for 3 treat bags.  I packaged them up in some embossed vellum bags from SRM:

Then I created the tags, using the Surface- Tag Die- Starters Kit and Starry Night Stamp Set from Waffle Flower Crafts:

I created a video to show how I made the galaxy background:

I am trying to do more videos this year.  I learn something new every time I make one!  This time I learned that the craft mat makes an awful background.  Sorry!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!  Don't forget to pop over to the Waffle Flower Blog to see all the fun Valentine's projects the team made this week!

Made With Love

Hello and happy Valentine's day!  I'm glad you stopped by because today I'm hopping along with some of my amazing card-making friends!

If you're following along with the hop then you're probably here from Laurie Willison's blog.  Doesn't she make some great cards?  Her creations always make me smile!  Laurie  is one of the twenty friends I made during last summer's Gallery Idol contest put on by Paper Crafts Magazine.   Most of us are hopping today and we each have amazing givaways thanks to a long list of sponsors!  For more information on the participants and our generous sponsors, please check out our Facebook Event page.

I've made a few little things to share with you today- all featuring one of our great sponsors, SRM Stickers!  I've paired their great We've Got Your Boarder- Valentine sheet with the American Crafts XOXO line to make some fun Valentines treats.  First up is my card:

I really loved this floral patterned paper from the XOXO line by American Crafts.  I've used it on nearly all of my Valentine's Day projects this year!  The cute 3-D heart sticker is also from the same line.  I added the sentiment sticker and then highlighted it with some fun twine by the Twinery.  Sticker sentiments seem so easy and stress free after years of stamping!  Hee!

My second project is a little clear goodie box.  It is the perfect size for one of my favorite nail polishes- wouldn't that be a fun treat to receive? :)  I've decorated it with a couple of the SRM border strips and just a little bit of twine.  Doesn't take much to make these little boxes look good!

My last treat is a glassine bag filled with cookies.  For this, I used a few hearts and a strip of First Edition DSP left over from my banner project I shared yesterday.  I simply wrapped the bag with more of that fun twine to finish the project off.

SRM Stickers has been generous enough to provide me with a givaway!  They have given me an assortment of cardmaking products including Sticker Sentiments, Fancy Sticker Sentiments, and We've Got Your Boarders to give away to one lucky reader.  Please leave a comment for your chance to win! The contest closes on February 21st at 11pm.

From here, you'll want to head over to Nina Yang's blog.  She's got another great Valentine's Day project for you as well as another giveaway!  Pretty fun if you ask me!

I'm so glad you were able to visit today! I hope you are able to check out all the participants blogs today!  These ladies are truly talented! I hear there is also a secret grand prize hidden in someone's blog so leave lots of comments for a chance to win!
