Valentine Treat Box

I used the retired petal card die to make this box. I used my Big Shot and cut out two petal card heart shape boxes. I folded two tabs under and taped them to a 2x5 strip to make the box. Then I cut a 21/2x21/2 square from the Filled With Love Bundle paper and attached it. I punch a large scallop circle from whisper white, a red scalloped heart of hearts, a red stamped heart from Filled With Love which fits the large heart punch, and then I punched a small red glimmer heart from our wonderful glimmer paper. I layered these on the box. I repeated this on the other side. Then I tied a white grosgrain ribbon for a handle. I added some white shred which can be made with a crimper and some whipser white cardstock. Now all I need is a treat for the inside.

Filled With Love Valentines Treats

These little treats were fun to make. I found the tiny paint bucket at a large craft store. I tied red, pink, and white ribbon on the hande. Then I cut a one inch strip of white cs and punched down both sides with the heart scallop border punch and taped it around the can. Then I embossed the heart from Filled With Love and used a dimensional to hold it on. I punched a tiny red glitter heart (triple heart punch) and taped that on the embossed heart. I hope SU comes out with glitter paper in other colors soon! For the lid I punched a 13/8 circle, added the words then the hearts, then I sponged around the edge in red. The candy is in a cello bag inside.

I got the idea for the heart from Holly K. at Rubber Redneck. She had the brilliant idea to use the heart shaped treat cup as a candy holder. I simply took off the sticky protector, added the candy (I ate some, too), then stuck the heart to some red cs. Then I cut around the cup, sanded it, punched a hole with the cropodile, and then I added the ribbon with a small oval tag. The words and heart came from Filled With Love. Of course I had to add a small red glitter heart!

Filled With Love

Have you ordered your Filled With Love set yet? It is only available through Jan. 24th and is not in any catalog. If you order the bundle you get read and pink paper and free bitty buttons, too. See the side button for details. For this card I started with a 63/4x51/2 nonscored base. I used a pencil and marked a rectangle in the center measuring 4x23/4. Then I scored on the outside of my pencil mark to the edge at 23/4 and 4 at the top and bottom. I used an exacto and cut out the rectangle only to the score lines. Then I folded the base  leaving the rectangle attached to the base but not scored. I ran that through my Big Shot using the perfect dtails texture plate. I stamped everything in red craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used the large heart punch to cut out the hearts. I used the 3/4 and 1 inch circle punches for the Feb. 14. I punched the tiny hearts out the glimmer paper using the smallest heart on the triple heart punch. I tied a piece of white satin ribbon on the edge.

Filled With Love

I made this pretty card using the new Filled With Love set (availabe Jan. 4th), my Big Shot, the elegant bouquet embossing folder, and the scallop heart die. I also used the scallop lace punch, some red satin ribbon, and the new red glitter paper which I punched with the triple heart punch. The big hearts are embossed with red craft ink and clear embossing powder then punched out with the big heart punch. Don't you love how the scallop heart die and the big heart punch fit perfectly together? The words are embossed in white craft ink and white powder.
