Valentine's Day Cards and Treat Boxes

Valentine's Day is almost here, are you ready??  Here are three Valentine cards using the new Lollydoodle paper pack from Close To My Heart.  These are mostly hand cut with accents from Artbooking and Artiste.

Also, here are some treat boxes that can be filled with candy, stickers, jewelry, or whatever small treat you would like.  

They are cut with Kraft paper from Art Philosophy at about 6" and the tags are cut from Artiste with a heart shape welded in at about 2.75".  Emboss or stamp them, add some twine or ribbon, a tag or sentiment, and they are ready to go! 

Making cards and gifts are so much fun and are a great way to show how much you care.  I hope that visiting my blog today has inspired you to create a fun craft of your own!

Tooth Fairy Door Hanger

Well, it is finally happening, my little girl is growing up!  And way too fast if you ask me :(.  She is starting school this year and she has not one, but two loose teeth!  One is almost ready to come out so I had to race to get this little project finished.  I was inspired by a fellow consultant, Damask Diva, and very talented lady - Amie Kiger.

I made this Tooth Fairy Door Hanger with the Chantilly paper pack and glitter paper.

The stamp set that I used is one of the Hostess Rewards stamp sets called - The Party Is On.  This cute stamp set can only be purchased using hostess credits that you would earn by hosting a gathering.  There are many more to choose from too.  So why not host a gathering??  Don't have time?  You can host it all online!

The small My Creations Paper Pouches (NLA) are great for adding a message and money or another small gift from the tooth fairy.  Since these paper pouches are not available anymore, these really cute burlap or muslin drawstring bags would work perfectly too!

Both of these bags are inexpensive, easy to stamp, sew on, or embellish with items like buttons, gems, glitter glitz, brads, etc.  There are so many great ways to personalize this project, you won't want to make just one!  Get started today, create a fun craft of your own!

Art Philosophy Door Hanger

Hello and Welcome!  Today I made a door hanger using the Art Philosophy cartridge.  I made this as a cute way to hold my Business cards.  My local Starbucks has a bulletin board for people to post items so I thought that this would be a great way to advertise Close To My Heart.

A little embossed dragonfly from the Dream Big stamp set.

 Sentiment from the Pinwheel stamp of the Month (NLA) and shapes from the Dream Big stamp set.

Finished :)

The door hanger was cut at 10in and it is the perfect size for me to put in a bunch of business cards.  You can make this bigger or smaller to fit whatever it is that you want to hold - candy, snacks, nail items, pocket sanitizer, lip gloss, tissue, drink mixes, spices, etc.   Pick the size that suits your need and embellish away!!

A Gift For You - Treat Box

Hello Everyone!  Today I made a treat box using the Art Philosophy cartridge from Close to my Heart.  This is a quick and easy box that can be filled with many different items and used for any occasion.  This project features papers from the Chantilly paper pack as well as the Chantilly card workshop.

I started with one sheet of 12x12 Kraft cardstock for the box.  The box shape is on pg. 22 and I cut it at 11 1/4 inches.  I used the My Acrylix stamp set called Distressed Backgrounds and stamped all of the sides using my Brown Bag stamp pad.  Then I inked the edges using the same ink.  

I cut a 1/2" x 12" strip from a sheet of Lagoon paper and then cut two 4" pieces from it.  I used the Lagoon stamp pad to ink the edges of each strip and adhere them to the front and back of the box.  I also used the Lagoon ink pad to stamp the sentiment and frame.  I used the My Acrylix stamp sets Frame Flair and Enjoy!  Then, I cut three flowers from a piece of Buttercup cardstock at 2, 2 1/2, 2 3/4 inches and three green flowers from the green B&T duo sheet at 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4 inches.

I finished the box off with sparkles, glitter paper, ribbon from the Chantilly card kit and a Foundry Binder clip.
