  • Stampin' Up! Valentine set using Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper

Transform a card into a Valentine gift set.  I created a version of this card a few weeks ago, and looked at it more closely when I needed a masculine Valentine.  I decided to repurpose the layout and also create a treat holder following the same theme as the card to create something truly special.   This combination set uses the Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper, as well as the Square Pillow Boxes from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog.,  Again, I used a couple of prints from the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper.  I paired the Pecan Pie print with a Crumb Cake basecard and a Pecan Pie Sentiment Label cut using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  Then, I used the Pecan Pie Bordered Ribbon to create a glamorous bow.  I used Happy Valentine's Day sentiments from the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set. I duplicated the theme of with the same Designer Series Papers, sentiments and bow to adorn the white Square Pill Box to create a coordinated gift set.  One of the joys of crafting is finding creative uses for every layout created, and extending the aesthetics to this treat holder using these charming papers and ribbons. 

Reminder:  This is the Final Month to earn items during Sale-A-Bration 2024 or to take advantage of the Joining Offer (see below). And look at the new additions to Sale-A-Bration Surprise items to select from.  From now until February 29, for each $50 or $100 you spend, you can select Free items from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

Valentine card and treat holder using Stampin' Up! Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper



You'll enjoy pairing the florals and birds in this Designer Series Paper with the more masculine print in this Pecan Pie print from Flight & Airy 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper to create this Valentine's Day Card.  It uses a Crumb Cake Cardstock cardbase to compliment the colors in the Pecan Pie print as well as the bordered ribbon.

    Next, I selected a Valentine's sentiment from the Bee My Valentine Bundle and stamped it in Pecan Pie Ink onto a Basic white Label.  I used two of the dies from the Thoughtful Expressions Dies to create my Basic white label and then matted it in Pecan Pie.    The bow is Pecan Pie 1/2" Bordered Ribbon from the Annual Catalog, and the Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots is from a retired accessories pack from the past Fall Mini catalog.    


    Valentine Treat holder created using 2024 Sale-A-Bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper



    To make my matching treat holder, I began with a Square Pillow Box, which I folded together and used the included adhesive strips to hold the folded sides in place, which one end remaining without adhesive for easy access to fill the treat box with chocolates.  Then I used the same two I used  the same two prints from the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper to create a band around the sealed folds of the box.  I used the same ribbon and tied a bow from the Pecan Pie 1/2 Bordered Ribbon as an accent to my treat box.  I created the same sentiment layer that I used on my card, and added Adhesive-backed Speckled Dots to my sentiment.  Then, I selected a bird from the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper and fussy cut it, and popped it up on Dimensionals to add to my treat box.  This gift set will certainly brighten someone's day, and you'll love customizing this idea for a special occasion for someone you love.
