Valentine Treats

I made one of these for each of my nieces and nephews to go with the printed LD Valentine cards.  I filled them with assorted candy, attached the Valentine, and put a word search / crossowrd with it for all of them last Sunday.  The pattern for the heart box was generously shared for free at Kalo Designs, and it really is simple and CUTE!  The crossword and word search were more printable files from Lettering Delights, and all of the paper is from K&Co's double sided pack that came out this year. 

These are from the LD set Valentine Game Night in the printable files.

The last picture here is the finished product for them.  I just glued the card to the heart, and put the word search combo under them.  I wanted to put a ribbon, but most of them are boys and/or older than 12, so I figured the ribbon was a bit to frilly.  LOL.  Thanks for visiting today.

I'm back...with a Valentine's project!

Well, the whole tax issue isn't settled yet, but I decided to wait until April this year to figure out things and file, so in the meantime, it's time to craft again!

Wednesday, I was at my Mom's, and my nephew had a note that said the kids would be exchanging Valentines on Thursday, the next day, and he needed to make a box for receiving cards.  WELL, I immediately told my sister-in-law that I could make him an actual mailbox if she wanted, so that's what I did!  This is from an SVG Cuts set, and I didn't do the greatest job, but it was kind of a rush!  I used K&Co paper, and cut the double heart from the file, then joined his name into it with MTC to create the cut out name tag.  I cut the pieces at 11.4 in MTC and it came out a perfect size.

I just took a red marker and made some faux stitching on the hearts to give it a little detail, and that's about it.  I also gave him some stickers to finish it off as he desired.  No sense in me doing ALL of it for him, lol.  If you are interested in the file, go here.  I plan on working on some more V-day projects this weekend, so hopefully I will have plenty more to share this week!  Thanks for visiting today, and for hanging in there with me!

Valentine treat bag

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, this is the same file as the bunny bag.  I decided to think outside the box SLIGHTLY and make it into a Valentine box. 

I sized it to fit a 12x12 sheet of paper, which is a loose sheet I got last year at Michael's.  I then replaced the bunny with a valentine teddy file someone uploaded to the MTC gallery, I replaced the egg flourish over the door with a heart flourish from last year's Mother's Day cart, and the window boxes were changed too.  I used a welded heart file from the SVG cuts Valentine candy cherub set, and welded a rectangle to the bottom for the base, then pop dotted the white layer and the entire window box.  A few dots with my gel pens set it off nicely, as did the stickles on the front heart flourish and door, along with the epoxy sticker.  I feel like something is missing, but for now, this is OK, I guess.  Thanks for visiting today!
