Valentine treat holders

 


Welcome to my blog. Hope you had a great weekend. I worked on Valentine treat holders. I also went to an agility trial with my dogs.

The first treat holder I made using the Little Treat Box dies from Stampin Up. 

The second one I used the TT treat box die from the stamps of life. I put valentine tic tacs in it.

The third box I made following a YouTube tutorial by Lisa Mears. It’s a conversation heart slider box.

The last one I used retired Heart boxes from Stampin Up. I filled with Hershey kisses.

Happy Crafting!

Corner fold Valentine’s Cards using Darling Donkeys, Way to Goat and Heartfelt stamp sets

 

Welcome to my blog. For these Valentine’s Day cards I paired non traditional with traditional Valentine stamps. Darling Donkeys came from Sale a Bration catalog that I got free for my $50 purchase. Way to Goat and Heartfelt are from the Annual Catalog.
Materials and Directions 
- Card base  is 5-1/2 x 4-1/4. I used Rococo Rose cardstock. 
To make the fold go in 3 inches on top and side. Score then fold


-The DSP layer is 4 x 5-1/4. After cutting place on the front of the card then fold. Cut along the fold.
Then glue the pieces as in the photo. Afterwards I glued the corner down. I used Fine Art Floral DSP from the Mini Catalog and Paper Blooms DSP ( I got free from the Sale a Bration catalog).


- For the goat I used layering heart dies from my stash. For the Donley I used layering oval die from the Annual Catalog.
- For the inside I used white cardstock 4 x 5-1/4 . I stamped the images from Heartfelt stamp set using Magenta Madness Stampin pad.


Remember this is the last month for Sale a Bration. For every 50/100$ you spend you earn free stuff from the Sale a Bration catalog. February 28 is the last day.
You can find and purchase all the Stampin Up products I used on my website .

Simple card using Paper Blooms DSP


 Welcome to my blog.  These cards are fun and can be made using any DSP you have. You can make several from one piece of DSP.

Materials and Directions 
- Card base is White cardstock 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 folded in half to make a card base that is 5-1/2 x 4-1/4
- Layer 1 is a piece of cardstock (I used pink) 3-1/4 x 4-1/4.
   Layer 2 is a piece of Paper Blooms DSP 3 x 4. For the one card I cut the layer diagonally.
Glue layer 2 to layer 1. Then glue this piece to the card front.
- I used border dies I had to embellish the front. If you don’t have border dies you can cut a strip of cardstock.

For anything you need you can order from my website. The Paper Blooms DSP is an item you can choose from the Sale a Bration catalog after you order 50$ or more.
Happy Crafting!

Another Fun Fold using Dragonfly Garden DSP


 Welcome to my blog. I really love this DSP from the new mini catalog. I also used the retired Stampin Up  stamp and die set for the Dragonfly cut out. If you don’t have a dragonfly Stampin Ups Dragonfly Garden Bundle would be great to add to your collection.  You can find it in the new Mini Catalog on page 27. If I didn’t already have a dragonfly set I would have purchased it. 
Materials and Directions 
- For this fun fold you need 2 card bases 4-1/4 x 5-1/2( I used blackberry bliss)


-  2 layers 4 x 5- 1/4 glue to card fronts as in photo.  I used a circle die to cut out circle on front( as in photo)
- Glue the 2 card bases together as in photo. Add inside White cardstock layer 4x 5-1/4. I stamped a Dragonfly 

-I closed the card then glued the dragonfly (that I cut out of glitter paper from my stash ) in the center of the circle. Make sure you can open the card.
You can buy the DSP and Dragonfly Garden bundle from my website.
Happy Crafting!

- The card base is a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 1-1/4 x 4-1/4

- The DSP is 6 x 5-1/4. Cut at 2-1/4 , 2-3/4 and 1. A piece of Whisper White 3 x 5-1/4

Host Code 
Since we’re starting a new year I thought I’d explain what the Host Code is for. It is used if you are order is less than 150$. You add this code to your order. If you order 150 or more don’t use the Host Code and you will earn bonus. This months Host Code is 2DW7B2QJ. You can find it in the margins under my corgi.
