Hubby's Valentine's gift

I'm a little slow in sharing with you the card and small treat bag that I put together for my husband's valentine's day gift. Typically, I do something small and then make a nice dinner unless we have plans to go out to eat.

The card uses a stamp from the Occassions Mini Catalog, Like-O-Meter, #117667, $8.95. The phrases are just way to cute. And, the treat bag uses the Glassine bags (also from the Occassions Mini Catalog, #117228, $6.50 for 25) that I ran through the Sizzix Big-Shot using the Stampin' Up! Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder, #117335, $7.95. To finish the bag, I put a strip of double-sided designer series paper (Sending Love Specialty, #117153, $11.95), and yes, it's from the same mini catalog! Finally, I tied a piece of the new 5/8" Real Red satin ribbon and added a stamped heart and message (Love You Much & Teeny Tiny Wishes). The bag was filled with Hershey Hugs first!

Valentine Pillow Box

Here is a little pillow box filled with Hershey Kisses that would be a perfect gift for either kid's classrooms or just to give to friends.


It's made using the Big Shot and the Pillow Box die and acetate sheets. Really quick and easy to make a bunch up in no time at all! To finish it all off, I stamped the 3-hearts image from the Love You Much bundle with White Staz-On ink onto the acetate after it was die-cut. The scallop was made using the Hugs & Kisses stamp and Jet Black Staz-On ink, then watercolored using the Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette Classic ink pads and blender pens and punched out with the scallop circle punch. A 1-1/4"x5" strip of paper from Candy Lane DSP (also in the bundle) was adhered around the middle. A 12" piece of Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon was tied in the opposite direction on top of this and the scallop piece was adhered using Mini Glue Dots. We made these at stamp club this month.
