Some of you requested directions for the Valentine Box that I posted on Friday. And, because I love my peeps, I am posting directions and a sketch. If you would like to see the original post click Valentine Box
- Start with a 5-1/2" x 11" piece of card stock.
- With the 5-1/2" side at the top of the trimmer, score at 1-1/2". Flip the card stock over and score again at 1-1/2".
- With the 11" side of the card stock at the top of the trimmer, score at 4-3/4". Slide the card stock to 4-3/8" and score as shown in the diagram. Flip the card stock over and score at 4-3/4". Slide the card stock to 4-3/8" and score again as shown in the diagram.
- Cut along the score lines as shown in the diagram.
The vertical lines are 1-1/2". The cut version looks like the sketch below.
I used the Curvy Corner Trio Punch for the top of the box. Use a strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Mono Liquid Adhesive to put your box together.

Jan 16, 2016 | Fun Fold, Valentine's |
Today I am sharing a Valentine Fun Fold Card that I created using the Bloomin' Love Stamp Set & the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack.
This is how my card looks closed. The surprise comes as the card is opened so please keep reading.
This is the card partially opened and finally……..
This is the card fully opened! As you can see this is a unique card and I am guessing that you would like to know how to make it. It looks very complicated but I think you will be surprised at just how easy it is to create. Click here to see the video by Patty Bennett that will explain the technique.
Can you see the tiny pearls that adorn my card?

Jan 15, 2016 | 3_D, Valentine's |
Yesterday was the best day ever because I spent it playing with my new goodies and creating so I could share with you. Although I am struggling with the photography end of things, I am really pleased with what I have for you today. I made the cutest 3-D Valentine Treat holder for my Granddaughter Katie using the Bloomin' Love Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!
The box is pretty simple but I am excited about the decorations on it. Let's start at the top – the Curvy Corner Trio Punch gives a sweet curve to the top edge of the box and it also punches the slit for my Blushing Bride ribbon. Are you curios where you can find this sweet ribbon. It is part of the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit found on page 17 of the 2016 Occasions Catalog. The ribbon is tied with a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine. In addition, a length of pearl trim – also found in the Embellishment Kit, and a length of sparkling Blushing Bride Sequin Trim are also secured with the Baker's Twine.
A Tea Lace Paper Doilie adds such a nice feminine touch to the front of my box. This is topped with a Rose Red card stock piece whose corners were rounded with the Project Life Corner Rounder to match the curves at the top of the box. The sentiment piece is created by inking the heart image from Bloomin' Love with Blushing Bride Ink and stamping off before stamping the image on a pice of Whisper White card stock that has been shaped with the Tags & Labels Framelits. The sentiment from Bloomin' Love is inked with Rose Red Ink & stamped full strength over the heart.
The final touch was the addition of a few Dove Mint Hearts. Hopefully Katie will love this too! Remember if you have any questions about any of my creations, I am only an email away. In addition, I invite you to leave me a comment about todays project. I love to read your comments and I definitely look forward to them.
