Knit Valentine Card

Just a quick post of my unusual Valentine.  This is not a valentine you would give just anybody, but it is perfect for the person I am giving it to.....a knitter of course.  I think she will love it.  (Thank you to my co-worker for knitting me the little sweater)

VALENTINE CHOCOLATE HOLDER

Here are my Valentine Chocolate Holders. Very Cute and Very Easy.
The cardstock is cut 2 1/4" x 4 1/4" with a piece of pretty designer series paper cut to 1 1/4" x 4 1/4".  Score 3/8" on each long edge and fold up. (These measurements may need to be tweeked depending on the size of the chocolate pieces you use)  Snail the DSP down and the chocolate pieces too.  Insert the candy tray into a pretzel bag, add a bow and tag with a sweet sentiment and you are done!  CUTE!
Tomorrow I will post my video on how to make these or you can go to YOUTUBE and check it out now.

 

Here are some of the supplies I used to make these cute little gifts:

VALENTINE TOOTSIE POP HOLDERS

These are my Valentine's Day Tootsie Pop holders.  They are soooo cute, easy and do not use a lot of supplies.  All you needs is a piece of cardstock 2 1/4" x 8 1/2".  Score at 2 1/2", 4 1/4" and 6 1/2".
Punch a 1/8" hold in the middle of the 6 1/2 score line for the lollipop to fit thru.  Then just decorate the outside.  I used a piece of designer series paper cut 2" x 1 3/4" and then popped a heart and sequin on it.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, (punched with the word punch)  I will post a video on this later this week or you can check it out now on YOUTUBE.

LUCKY STARS

I made this card with Stampin' Ups! Around the World Stamp Set.  I used the Star Framelits to cut out a couple of stars from the Going Places DSP Card Stack (I love card stacks - the paper is so cool and just the right size for accenting your cards) I stamped the sentiment and punched it out with my 1" punch and I punched the "world" out with my 2" punch.  (the "world" is in the paper stack too) I embossed the very vanilla background with the Lucky Stars embossing folder and stamped the big dipper in Lost Lagoon ink.

Valentine Easel Card

This is the card we will be making tomorrow in my Saturday Stamp Class.  I love easel cards because they can be set out like a little picture on a table or shelf.  The Bloomin' Love Heart is one of my favorites and the Love Blossom paper stack has so many beautiful papers it is hard to decide which one to use.  Please leave a comment below if you have any questions.
