Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Hivers,

Today I am sharing a box I made for my son's teacher.  I filled it with about 8 Godiva Chocolate Truffles.  I found a great tutorial over on Ann's Happy Stampers (UK blog).  I had so much fun making this box.  It looks so complicated, yet it was super quick and easy to put together.  The Love Note Framelits really add a lot to this project.

Leave a comment....tell me what you think.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today.
Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Friendly Heart Bag-A-Lope

Hello Hivers,

I am so behind on my stamping.  I just recently got around to playing with my October 2015 Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I searched Pinterest and found some wonderful alternate ideas for using the kit.  One of the ideas was using the envelopes for making bags or boxes.  I love the way this one turned out.  I will be sharing more of the kit projects later this week. 

Supplies:
October 2015 Paper Pumpkin Kit
Bloomin' Love stamp set
Mini Treat Bag Thinlits
Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Whisper White Cardstock
Calypso Coral Classic Ink

Happy Hearts Balloons

Hello Hivers,

I know I'm a little for V-Day, but I knew you wouldn't mind me sharing this card anyway. 

Balloons seem to be a big theme right now, so I thought I would make my hearts into balloons using the heart thinlit from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits and the Confetti Hearts Border Punch. 

The stamp set I used can be found in the current Occasions Catalog on page 17, it is called Bloomin' Love.

Thanks for buzzzing by the Hive.

Forgotten Valentine

Hello Hivers,

I found this project hiding amongst my older pictures.  I forgot to post it during February.  My daughter and I designed this for her teacher.  It's just a simple hinge box with a belly band.  We filled it with goodies and decorated it using the Hey, Valentine stamp set and the Park Lane Designer Series Paper.

Hey, Valentine? Again!

Hello Hivers,

I decided it was only right to make a little boys birthday card with this stamp set.  I used one of my favorite techniques on this card.  Well, I guess two of them, torn edge and sponging.  I don't like coloring so much, but I also give it a good try.

Thanks for buzzzing by the Hive.

Hey, Valentine?

Hello Hivers,


Don't you just love how this Valentine's Day stamp set can be used for other occasions?  I thought this would make a great little girls birthday card.  I love how the pink pops against the Gumball Green cardstock.

Sweet Treat Box

Hello Hivers,

I don't know which I like better, the box or the treat inside.  I made these for my children's teachers on Valentines Day.  I know it's the end of June, but hey I am catching up with all my posting.  At least I am in the correct year now.

I got the instructions on how to create these cute little treat boxes from Connie Stewart over at Simply Simple Stamping.  Try saying that fast three times.

Classmate Valentine's

Hello Hivers,

These are the projects I made for my children to give to their classmates. I found the idea on Stampin' Connection from Rae Harper of wildweststampin.com . I thought I was doing a good thing by getting the Twizzler's for only $5. My children have informed that most of their classmates don't like them. I could have used the pixie sticks, had I known. Oh, well. I know now. LOL It took me forever to make 72 of these with 5 different size hearts each. My Big Shot is resting well ;)

Heart Treat

Hello Hivers,

I am almost done catching up on late postings. I am busy decorating my new Crafting Hive. I will share photo's as soon as everything is complete. I am so excited.

Today's share is another from months ago. The idea came from Holly Krautkremer. Very simple project. I used Real Red and Very Vanilla card stock along with the Heart Treat Cups, Full Heart Punch, Heart to Heart punch, Word Window and the Modern Label punches.

Heart Squared

Hello Hivers,

This Valentine goodie was inspired by another stamper. I can't find the original designer. Just know that I didn't come up with this one on my own.

My favorite part of this project is...No, not the candy....it is the Scalloped heart of Hearts Embosslits Die. I love the look and feel of it. I also used the Scalloped Square Bigz Clear Die.

Thanks for buzzzing by the Hive today.

For Teachers on Valentines

Hello Hivers,

These are the gifts I made for my childrens teachers and other staff members at the school. I bought these cute little spice jars from Ikea and filled them with Candy Corn. I used the Love You Much stamp set and Candy Lane DSP to decorate the lid. I used some retired Rub-Ons for the sides and finished it off with some Whisper White and Real Red grosgrain ribbon. I added the Red Gingham ribbon to some.

Thanks for buzzzin' by my hive.

Clean & Simple Case

Hello Hivers,

This Valentines is for my oldest sons girl friend. I cased the layout from someone on SCS. I can't find the card to get the persons name. I think her user name is LateBlossom.

I used Whisper White for the card and sponged Real Red using a 1 3/8 circle template. The butterfly image is from the Happy Heart Day stamp set. This was layered on a Pink Pirouette Scallop. I added some Red Grosgrain Ribbon to finish the card.

Thanks for buzzing by my hive today.
