Happy Valentine's Day


Today is Valentine's day so I'm sharing some heart projects to convey that love! I used a SU! embossing folder (retired) to create this card, adding a SSS small doily heart, a piece of ribbon and a love sentiment done on a Lil Inker stitched banner die. I kept it simple but all the hearts just make me smile.


Also sharing with the Let's Squash It Challenge #5 -Use a love-themed embossing folder and the color red/pink




This year I stamped all my Valentine envelopes with this Repeat Impressions Love Post stamp in the bottom corner or on the envelope flap.



I made some treat containers for Valentine's day too. I made a few square pillow boxes with a die from SU! and covered them with some dsp I bought at Tuesday Morning several years ago. The dsp already has the hearts cut out so it seemed perfect for these little boxes. I added tags done with a SU! note tag punch and added a SSS bunny Hugs die in coordinating colors. I turned one tag over so you can see the sentiment that's on the back. As usual, I discovered another mistake after taking the photo. I folded the bottom of the box on the left with the wrong flap out, but I fixed it before it was delivered. 😏


I made a few sour cream boxes too with SU! retired papers, and used a MFT tiny tag die with a little white heart.


Last but not least I made a couple of these tiny treat bags using SU! retired papers and a SU! scalloped top punch. The hearts were random bits I found in my snippets box and I tied these little bags up with white raffia ribbon.

Wishing you all a very happy and love-filled Valentine's day.

Thanks for stopping by!

Carol

I received your mail, and I will replay as soon as possible. Be patient with me, please... I need time to read and write, translating in English, but just now I'm under ballots of school papers and I'm very busy and tired. :(
Big hugs and happy Valentine day to you and Butch! Love from Italy! :)

Beautiful card Carol!! I always wanted that heart die but don't think they carry it anymore. It was always out of stock when I was ordering. Love all your yummy treats!! Stay safe hopefully the ice won't get to bad?!

Brenda said...

Love your Valentine card Carol! The embossing is so pretty and perfect for a Valentine card as is the scalloped heart. A simple CAS card that is just perfect! Love the little stamp you stamped on your envelope, so cute and festive! Wow, look at all those treats you made! Love the pillow boxes and that paper you used. OMGosh Carol, we would have never know the box flap wasn't in the right order, I'm sure the person you delivered it too wouldn't have either. lol Love the sour cream containers, haven't made them in years, but think they are so cool. The tiny treat boxes are adorable, I love those as well. Well done, you got a lot made unlike me! lol Hugs, Brenda
