Boxes of Love

Pin It
You can find these boxes on pages 4 and 5 of the Occasions Catalog.  We just put our own spin on them and added a few more. These would be great for a countdown for your Valentine or kiddos.  Or use them as individual boxes for your child's class. I am pretty sure my hubby would like to find little love notes inside or coupons for back rubs and foot massages. The little square pieces are cut at 1-1/2"

Valentine Candy Dispenser

Pin It
How fun is this! My 8 and 11 girls were in awe! In fact it really is easy enough for them to do. You will need a 4" x 8 1/2"for the base. Really you could do any height. 3x4 piece for the bottom. and a 4x4 piece for the lid. Below I marked the score lines with black, then the white dashes are where you will cut. The Simply Scored Tool is a must for this project. Shelly Shoultes made this one for us.
The following picture shows where you punch your 2" circle. It's about 2/3 of the way down.
Next, glue the sides of your base together.
Then the bottom piece.
Slide the bottom piece in while the glue is still wet.
Push it all the way to the back and hold it down for a bit, while it dries.
Here's how you glue the lid.
Here it is open with the lid on it.
Here it is closed! Now, just embellish it!

Valentine Treasures!

Pin It
Treasure your Valentine with these treats. What kid wouldn't love getting some chocolate coins (I would prefer the rolos, but I'm not 8.) We just used the purse die to make our chest.  We didn't cut the top off, just left it up and glued the heart and pirate to it.  If you are looking for chocolate coins, Oriental Trading does have them.

Fish, Fowl and Fox Valentines

Pin It
Make these sweet treats for your little Valentine's!  Pretty simple and fast. The only trick to share is that i folded the piece of cardstock that the fox is on before I put it through the punch.  Just make sure the fold is just inside the punch.  The you can just slip your treat through. One great thing about these tags is that your kiddos can help by color them for their class.

Berry Basket

Pin It
Here are our sweet and easy little berries.  They fit perfectly in Stampin' Ups new basket die, which was BTW as simple as the berries. Have fun making your berries with the pictures down below.

view from the top.
These are the pieces you need. The large heart is 4th biggest in the framelit set.
Sorry, I didn't think to flip the picture over.  The next thing you do is glue the smaller hearts to one of the larger ones.
Then fold those little ones in.
Then glue the other large heart to the folded part of the little hearts.
Then just fold the tips up and glue.  It helps to trim down the center of the heart so the tops will fold in better.
