Bloomin' Heart die for Valentines



Today's card uses a die from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog called Bloomin' Heart thinlit set.  It works for Valentines and it also works for general cards when you want to send someone something special.  I choose the Powder Pink cardstock to create a very soft, delicate Valentine card.  I've been working with colors like Bright Berry, Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral with shiny gold or silver accents.  It was nice to get away from colors that "shout" at you to a softer look for a day.   I promise you'll see plenty more Valentine projects with this year's brighter colors in days to come. Today, I needed something more soothing.       


  




The basecard is Thick Whisper White.  Then a layer of Powder Pink.  Then another layer of Whisper White.  

The Bloomin' Heart Thinlit die works best when cut using the Precision Base Plate on your Big Shot.  Then you can easily remove the chads with the Big Shot Die Brush.  This die also includes two flower dies that I think add so much to this die.  Cut two of the large flowers and three of the small flowers in Whisper White and adhere to the large die cut heart. Attach the detailed heart with Fine-Tip Glue Pen.  

Then  I added Pearl Basic Jewels to the center of each flower.  The sentiment is from the Lovely Wishes stamp set from the Occasions catalog.  The I added a Powder Pink bow to the heart with Mini Glue Dots.

Valentine's Day Treat Holder using Sure Do Love You stamp set

  • Masculine Valentine Treat Box
  • Free Sale-A-Bration gift with each $50 order
  • Join Stampin' Up! and get an additional Two Free Stamp sets

Crumb Cake and Burlap Ribbon



Today's treat box is a take off on a card I created recently.  I liked the Crumb Cake combination using the Sure Do Love You and Heart Happiness stamp sets, and I wanted to create a treat box to go along with the card.  While I created this card, I decided I wanted to change it up a bit to get away from all of the watercolor pinks and corals I've been using for Valentine's Day project because we all need some masculine Valentine's Day items.   I think the addition of the Burlap ribbon is the perfect touch to create the masculine look I was going for.      


  




The treat box was die cut using the Lots to Love Box Framelits Die from Crumb Cake cardstock.  Die cut the box frame twice.  Then turn the rounded ends opposite each other and adhere the sides together.  I used Fast Fuse.  Tear & Tape works well also.  Easy and so fast!  

Then add a layer of Early Espresso, and a layer of Crumb Cake.  The white heart is from the Sure Do Love You stamp set.  It is stamped in Versamark and then covered with White Embossing powder and heat embossed with the heat tool.

The lined heart in the center of the white embossed hear is from the Heart Happiness set.  And "yes!", it also coordinates with the Lots to Love Box Framelit Dies.  Get both stamp sets to maximize your use of the coordinating dies.


      
  



The striped heart and the sentiment banner are both stamped in Crumb Cake on Whisper White and there are dies to cut both.  The heart is mounted on dimensionals and the center of the banner is glued to the heart with dimensions on each end of the banner.    

The 5/8" Burlap Ribbon was tied in a knot and adhered to the top of the box with several glue dots.  To ensure the box doesn't fall off, I used my heat tool to slightly heat the multiple glue dots and then pressed the Burlap Ribbon into the soft glue dots to ensure a good hold.
