Countdown to Valentine's Day - Day 4...

Today, I decided to create some cute little Love Notes to put in my kids' lunchboxes each day. They are super easy to make too! All you have to do is choose what color cardstock you'd like to use and trim away. I used 2 sheets of 12" x 12" cardstock and trimmed every 2 inches until I had a 2" square. I then rounded all of the corners and stamped my little owl and heart. They fit perfectly inside the rounded square window tin that I tied with some CTMH Black Tulle Ribbon.

Supplies used -

Paper: Hollycock (1246) & Whisper (X5929) Cardstocks
Stamps: Whooo's Your Valentine (N/A)
Ink: Hollycock (Z2128) & Slate (Z2173) Exclusive Inks® Stamp Pads
Accessories: Corner Rounder (Z578)
Other: Rounded Square Window Tin (Papermart)

Countdown to Valentine's Day - Day 3...

For Day 3 I decided to use one of the new CTMH Pillow Boxes and decorate it by first running it through my Sizzix Big Shot inside of my A2 Twizzle Embossing Folder. Second, I tied a bow around it with CTMH's Black Tulle Ribbon. Third, I punched a heart out of  Hollycock cardstock and added a bling gem to it. Finally, I adhered it to the center of the bow with a glue dot. Easy peasy Valentine Pillow Box in less than 5 minutes from start to finish! All you have to do is decided what you'd like to fill it with and you're good to go!!!

Countdown to Valentine's Day - Day 2...

For Day 2, I decided to make a little treat pouch using a 6" x 6" sheet of Claire B&T Duos. Simply take your sheet and turn it so it looks like a diamond. Score inward from the left point at 2 1/2" and inward from the right point at 6". Turn your sheet a quarter of the way, scoring inward from the right point at 2 1/4" and inward from the right point at 6 1/4". Trim away the 4 mini triangles where your score marks intersect, fold and adhere. Your pouch should measure 3 1/2" x 6".

Countdown to Valentine's Day...

This is the card that I made to kick off my Countdown to Valentine's Day. I started with a Blush cardstock base (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"), random stamped hearts on a White Daisy strip (1" x 4 1/2"), stamped the small heart in Hollycock on to White Daisy cardstock, the medium heart in Blush on to White Daisy cardstock, the large heart - half in Slate and half in Hollycock - on to White Daisy cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Black on a Hollycock strip (1/2" x 3 3/4"). I added a Grey Sparkle Badge Button to the banner.
