L - O- V- E



I'm always sad when one of my older stamp sets sits idle while I play with newer sets.  One of my all-time favorite Valentine sets is the Bloomin' Love Stamp set, which is page 88 of the main Stampin' Up! catalog.  This set coordinates with the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits but today I paired it with the Large Letters Framelits to make this card.      


  




The card uses a Thick Whisper White base card, then a layer of Powder Pink and then a layer of regular Whisper White.  I stamped the regular Whisper White with the heart from Bloomin' Love and then used the Large Letter Framelits to cut out the word LOVE.  After cutting out the letters I popped them up on the foam adhesive strips, which causes them to stand off the page and allows the Powder Pink layer to show when looking at the card from the side. 
      
  



The Thick Whisper White background is dry embossed with the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, a new embossing folder on page 23 in the Occasions catalog.   

Below is the inside of the card.  The top of the inside was also embossed just at the top with the Petal Pair Textured Impression Plate.  The Be Mine sentiment is from the Bloomin' Love stamp set, as is the small stamped flower on the left side of the page.

Valentine Acetate Tiny Treat Box from Stampin' Up!

  • Treat Package
  • Free Sale-A-Bration selection with $50 order
  • Two Free Stamp sets if you join during Sale-A-Bration

Tiny Valentine Treat Box



One of my favorite items in the Stampin' Up! catalog is the the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes -- these are clear acetate 2" X 2" X 2" boxes that are just the right size for treats, and they are so much fun to decorate.  
I've used the sample on Page 10 of the Occasion catalog as my starting point.  The catalog shows the box decorated for a birthday.  I've decorated mine for Valentine's Day. The other new item I'm using from the Occasions catalog are the new Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddies.  This comes in 3 colors of crinkle-cut shreds --dark pink, silver and white-- perfect for gift bags or boxes.     


  
Bloomin' Love Stamp Set




The clear acetate boxes come flat and easily fold together.  They come with a protective covering, which should be removed before decorating.  

For the treat box I used a pattern from the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Occasions catalog.  I cut a two  3 X 3 inch pieces of the DSP and scored it at 1/2 inch on all four sides.  Then I cut up to the score lines one two sides.  Since the base won't be opened, I used Fast Fuse to create the base and adhere it to the bottom of the box.  

Then I added the dark pink crinkle-cut shreds and a Lindt Chocolate Truffle and  I closed the box.  To create the top, I only glued the sides together and then placed it loose on the top of the acetate box.  The ribbons would hold the top piece in place until the recipient removed the treat inside.

      
  



Then I used the heart dies from the Sweet & Sassy Framelet dies to create a heart out of Silver Glimmer paper and another out of Berry Burst Card stock.  I used the Bloomin' Love stamp set to stamp a sentiment in Berry Burst ink, punched it out using the Classic Label punch, and attached it across the two hearts with mini dimensional.  

I added a small rhinestone to the sentiment, and attached the hearts using a piece of Silver Baker's Twine from the Occasions catalog.  I wrapped the box with Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon tied in a bow on top.  

Below is the backside of the box, showing how well the new shreds match the Berry Burst ribbon.    

  




These little square acetate boxes are a must-have to have on hand for fast, cute treats when you need to give a little gift or sweet treat.   Below is a treat box without the top and bottom wrap.
