Valentine Treat

Today I have a post that is not a card it is a Treat Holder.  This is the Valentine's Day treat I made for my grandchildren  to give to their teachers and dance instructors.  I found the inspiration on Pinterest, Kay Kalthoff had made her treat holders with gorgeous roses, but I don't have the rose die so I colored these great ballerina images from A Day For Daisies and they are perfect for the dance instructors.  They are colored with Copics and fussy cut.  The holder is cardstock that is 2 inches by 6 inches and score at 2 7/8 and 3 1/8.  Then each end is punched with the new Stampin' Up Scallop Tag Top Punch. You can make your tag any length you want with these new punches.  Fold on those score lines add the ribbon and I tied a knot.  Then printed my greeting on another pink cardstock andpunched it out with an old tiny tag punch.  Add the Ghirardelli chocolate and this is a great little gift, I would love.






Thanksfor looking and have a great day.  I will be entering the following challenges with this project...

It's Valentine's Day

Sassy Studio Designs has a new challenge up this week and the challenge is "It's Valentine's Day."  I have used the Sassy Cupid Image and colored her with Copics and added Stickles to er wings.  Several layers of pink cardstock and the top layer is cut using a Spellbinders die and gives it a vintage feel and I added some of the cut out pieces along the top for the scroll. Stampin' Up stamps & punches were used for the sentiments.  The folded corner embellishment was cut using a Spellbinder die also and then I added a button and sheer ribbon knot.

QKR Stampede has a new challenge and this week the challenge is  "Hearts & Kisses."  I have used this great image "digi 11501 Kissed" digi15104 Cupid" and colored it with Copics and also used "digi11604 Hearts."  I printed the image 3 times in a row to make a border.  I have added a Quick Cuts heart die cut, since I couldn't find the heart doilies I had saved from last year.  That seems to be my problem lately.  There is also a paper flower with a brad in the center and some swirl die cuts under neath it.  My sentiment and the punch used to punch it are Stampin' Up.  The bow was ribbon from my stash.  He looks love struck doesn't he?

Princess or Social Butterfly

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the challenge this week at  Crazy Challenges and it's Fairytales.  I have used the Jasmine image and colored it with Copics and fuzzy cut it to make a page layout for my grand daughter.  She loves all of he princesses and she loves to dress up like them.  I didn't get a photo printed for the layout, but it will be ready when I do.  She is also quite the little social butterfly, when we go to soccer games she is so busy socializing with her friends that she doesn't care if she get to kick the ball or even play as long as she get to talk with all of her friends.  Back to my layout, I printed the text out cut it out and then layered it on black and cut it out again.  I added an area to put the photo and there is an area for my journaling.  The papers are from DCWV and practically made the layout for me.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day.
