The first thing I made for her was this little Pillow Box. The first thing I did was roll the box with my Jumbo Vines Wheel in Mellow Moss. I used to stamp the flowers in Purely
Pomegranate and Pretty in Pink. I didnt have sky blue in so I used bordering Blue to add the dots...I really like how it turned out...This had this cute dollar stamp and a mini acrylic block...the line says "chat*im*text"...Chat is what we do!
Next I made this Candy bar cover. I used Mini Monograms to cut the scalloped circle and inner circle from Sky blue and GP white Cardstock. I punched a bunch of 3/4" circles of Sky Blue to dot the candy bar cover...I used some decorative and simple brads I had and punched a few flowers with SU Spring Flower Punch. I used a flower stamp from last years SAB set, to stamp the image and my Aqua painters and various Watercolor wonder Crayons to paint the flower, Pixie Pink Pretty In Pink and a little ink from the PP ink spot. I used Wild Wasabi to stamp the background anfter masking the flower... you pull the ribbon and the Candy Bar pops up...this is a huge Candy Bar I hope she likes it...
I got another snack also just because I had too!!! I found it at Wal-Mart. They Suggested we use favorite colors if possible with a snack so I found these Dark Chocolate covered Pomegranate Pieces... I dont know if they are any good but I really hope she likes them...I couldn't resist. I tied a light blue ribbon around them...
I covered this Pirouette tin with decorative Paper and used my Cricut to cut the heart and "M" and Monkey, It was simple enough and then I filled it with dimensionals, and glue pens and other fun card making neccessities..I can't remmeber anymore. I used SU Chocolate Chip Designer Paper and colored in the dots with Regal rose Pretty in Pink and Close to Caramel. The other DP is one I picked up last year after the holiday on clearance...cant remeber the manufacturer...I know no Sky Blue, but I hadnt picked any up yet I hope thats acceptable...But I think Melissa will like what is in it and she'll forgive me.
Lastly I made something more permanent I made this braided bracelet. What an ordeal that was...a simple task gone bad... It seems my DD had used my beads over the Holidays my one DD made over 20 bracelets alone... but alas they had a mess of my containers and wires. when I went to make the bracelet I had to spend the whole first night sorting beads and rew inding spools of stuff and sorting findings back into the right containers... Yep they got a little lecture.
I perservered and came back the next night and made this cute little bracelet...I really think the red and Blue beads make quite a nice look...I hope she likes it.
I also got a CB Folder of Bloom Dots to use this spring I need to get it in the mail...still it came a little late. I also stamped some of her favorite images and threw in one of my faavorite embellishment containers, for her to sort brads or other stuff in.. Well I hope she like her box and has a Happy Valentines...
I hope you have a Happy Valentines also....
Until Later ...Happy Stamping!
