Happy Valentine's Day

Here are a few Valentine projects that can hold a sweet treat for that special someone. There are so many talented crafters on the web and I have taken from those that I have seen for making the following.
This is a Treat Box. I used a die and the Cuddlebug to cut the Heart opening and then placed a piece of Transparency over the opening. Then using items from my stash I stamped "Be My Valentine" on a banner which was attached across the Heart. Then I took 3 sizes of Prima flowers in pinks and red to finish the embellishment. (I filled it with JuJu hearts)


Owls are all the rage right now so why not make a Valentine with an Owl. This one was totally cut from the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. I used the Roxie paper and Tulip CS to make the pillow box that the Owl is built on.  I finished him off with cream pearls for the eyes and a little card is his hand.This was not my original design and I can't think of who made him but a Big Thank You for your creativity.

These two Heart Boxes came to be after I got looking through the CTMH cartridge and saw the Heart Box shape. I have 2 Grandchildren and thought they would be cute for them. So I made a Pink one for the girl and a red one for the boy. To decorate I again used bits and pieces from my stash. I didn't make these very big. I cut these at 5.5" But you could make these whatever size you wanted. I used one of the border designs for the handle.
My last one is a strip of CS folded in two places to make the shape shown above. I took my Doily Lace Martha Stewart border punch and red CS to make a pretty edging. Then finished it with ribbon and items from my stash again. You open the flap and the next flap where you can put in a small bag of candy. To close the flap I used a small piece of velcro.

I hope you enjoyed these Valentine Treat projects. Thanks for stopping by.
Have a very Happy Valentine's Day!!!
