Better Late than Never? A Couple More Valentine's Projects . . .

Hi!  We've had a good winter break week here . . . took the boys to play in the snow up in Tahoe, and have started the first practices for the boys' baseball teams!  That has meant I haven't had a lot of time for blog posts!!!  However, I still have lots I want to share, so going to start trying to catch up a bit again . . . here goes . . .

First up is a fun little Valentine's thank you note (although actually by changing the color scheme, might make a sweet card for bridal shower thank yous or other occasions as well), made with the Hearts a Flutter stamp set, coordinating framelits, and Pretty Petites Stamp set and coordinating Petite Curly Label Punch:


Next, is a 3D/Gift item I created for my most recent swap with my friend Marlene (stay tuned for more amazing projects from her as well!)  This is a tin mailbox, which I dressed up using the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper, Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon, Flower Trim (sponged with Regal Rose and Real Red inks), and images stamped and die cut with the Hearts a Flutter stamps and framelits:





On the mailbox flag, I added an image from the That's the Ticket Stamp Set (punched out with the coordinating Ticket Duo Builder Punch).  I also added a Clear Vintage Faceted Button with a Rhinestone Jewel inside it onto the pivot point of the mailbox flag.

Inside the box, I tucked candies and a special mini note card:




The note card's base is Pool Party.   The die cut ruffled heart is trimmed out of the laser cut page of the More Amore Designer Specialty Paper.  There is also a layer of the More Amore paper, which has been embossed using the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, under the ruffled heart.  The Pool Party and Chevron stamped hearts are created with the Hearts a Flutter stamps and framelits.  And, the "for you" image from the Itty Bitty Banners set is stamped on Very Vanilla and die cut with the Bitty Banners Framelits.

Just a few more Valentine's projects to show you tomorrow, which you won't want to miss . . . stay tuned . . .
