Box Card

Here's my first attempt to create one of those "box cards" like they had on Splitcoast Stampers a couple of weeks ago.  Stamping T also created one on her blog if you'd like to check it out here.  She even has a video and instructions how to make it fit a different size envelope!

This is a fun project.  The DSP I used is retired from last year (sorry), it was the More Amore Specialty DSP.  I cut my hearts out using the Heart Framelits and heart punches.  I used the Love You More Stamp Set for the bird and a Hostess Set from the Holiday Catalog called Perfectly You for the Happy XoXo Valentine's to you.  I added some small pearls and colored one with a black Sharpie for the birds' eye.  Also used the Ruffle Stretch Trim in Baked Brown Sugar and Strawberry Slush to highlight the bigger hearts.

Happy Valentine's Day 2013

Here are some of the creations I have made up for Valentine's Day this year.

Sorry the picture isn't that great. I did Hershey Candy Bars wrapped in More Amore Specialty DSP and added ribbon and hearts.  The Love in the top one is the single stamp Love Heart.  I added some Ribbon with 3 Rhinestones on one side and layered onto Black CS cut with the Embosslits Scalloped Heart of Hearts.  The middle one I used the Embosslit and Silver Glimmer Paper, then a Red Heart punched with the Framelit Hearts and the little love is from the Ciao, Baby! Stamp Set and punched with the little punch that matches.  I used Cherry Cobbler Polka Dot Ribbon on each end.  The one on the left I used the new Pink Pirouette Two-Tone Ribbon and the Happy Valentine Stamp from Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set.  I colored Rhinestones with a Red Sharpie and added to each end (Punched out with Word Window Punch) that was mounted on Bashful Blue CS with the Modern Label Punch.  The M&M's were put into one of the 1"x8" Celephone Tubes and I added a heart to the top with That's The Ticket Valentine Stamp mounted on top with one of the new Large Rhinestones up in the left-hand corner.  The Red Heart was mounted on Silver Glimmer Paper punched with the Embosslit Scalloped Heart of Hearts.  I added some Pink Pirouette Ribbon and some had Riding Hood Red (not pictured) Taffeta Ribbon.
