It is that time of the year….well – it is super duper close but I know many of you do best working on a tight schedule! Even though my "peeps" are all grown…they are never to old to receive some "FUN LOVE" from Mom and Dad!
If you follow my blog (and I hope that you do), you already know that I adore these little boxes – they are just fabulous and I am thrilled that Stampin' Up! has continued to keep these available! I just love them.
The stamp set I used for this fun project is called "Hey Valentine" and I just could not resist! My oldest "peep" teaches little ones in Boston so you bet that I am going to send some fun and love his way for his class (I LOVED being the homeroom Mom when the kids were little….this way I can still have fun!)
I have a bunch of pictures for you…..(kind of "Show and Tell") – I know that you all enjoy pictures – please feel free to email me if you have any questions and I will be sharing with you more ideas of decorated little boxes! They are just so fun and there and many things to fill them up with!
I used the Blendabilities to color my little guy! I just adore these markers and remember, you can earn sets FREE as a pick in the Sale-A-Bration Catalog (I have been taking advantage if this)…remember to place a piece of paper behind your paper as they will bleed through (this is normal)
When I put the box together, I simply cut a strip of paper from the FUN Stacked with Love DSP Stack at 1 1/2" and then I started on a side and went all the way around (It covered all 3 sides and there was a bit left over but I snipped that off) My dear little Pirate will be on the front! (hopefully that makes sense!)
Isn't this a fun project! I do hope that you put on your creative hat and have fun! No worries if you do not have this stamp set…I am sure that you have many Valentines Stamps and/or hearts….perhaps this would be a fun time to call a friend and get together to create – sounds like a fun time to me!
I popped out a heart and did a quick stitch…this would be a great place to write someone name on it! I can remember getting these chocolate coins when I was young and felt so darn special. I would go in my room and count them thinking they were "real money"
Let's have a great day….today I go to get my weekly x-ray. I am super happy that I just about have the Stamp Club Kits almost ready to go out the door. My goal was before Leadership and I am real close considering my ankle! They look beautiful!
I will be offering a new kit next Monday, please remember to email me when I show them as I can only make "so many" – it is a labor of love that I know we both enjoy!
Stampin' hugs…..until tomorrow!
p.s. – quick tip – I like to place a glue dot on the bottom of the box to hold the ribbon in place to tie a simple bow…this way it stays with the box – a completed gift!!!
Good Morning Susan,
What a great treat! I have to admit I do not like to color. These look gorgeous and I’m sure they will put many smiles on the peeps! Good luck with your X-ray. Did I ever tell you I was an X-ray tech for 30 years? Hope that fracture is filling in nicely. Too bad you can’t color it in yourself!
🙂
Sweet little treats! Good luck today! Glad you are feeling better!
So glad that you seem to be back on the mend, and able to do some fun crafting. I continue to wish you well with your break, and want you to know that through all of this will come renewed strength. Love your creativity and great sense of humor, as I am an almost daily follower of your blog.
Very cute project! I really like that stamp set, but I keep wondering if I would ever have occasion to use it. I’ll keep thinking about it!
I hope your x-ray goes well and that there is good improvement.
Cyberhugs!
I love these little boxes too! And the stamp set is so cute, but like Bridget, I’m not sure I would get that much use out of it. Your project has me thinking about it…:-)
Such a cute treat!
CUTE!!! So adorable and really takes me back to childhood days and swapping Valentines.
I’m so glad you can play with your SU treasure’s again! I would be lost without them!
Blessings!!!
Awwww Susan that’s so cute !!!!!
Hugs Frenchie
Just so adorable, what a perfect little image for some sweet little boy. I don’t have enough stamps for little kids and this one is a keeper.
Thank you for sharing.
Cute treat box Susan. Just made the treat bag for a
Valentine treat for my little neighbor BOY !!!!!
Wished I had seen this box sooner.
Such a cute Valentine project. Even though my Homeroom Mom days are long over too, I couldn’t resist this set either. I do have some small nieces who will love these treats.
