Since it is Valentine's tomorrow...I thought I would put a bunch of ideas on here to show a few last minute ideas. OR...you can file them away for next year!
This is the PETAL CONE die that goes in the BIG SHOT. I used ROSE RED and WHISPER WHITE cardstock for this project. Also used the ROSE RED INK PAD to do the stamping. The stamp set is called BLISS. It is one of the FREE items during sale-a-bration.
This is a great little candy holder for any occasion...not just Valentine's. I chose to put TURTLES in it. I used the SMALL CELLO BAGS that are 3 inches wide. So basically anything that can fit in that area works great! The large heart on the BLACK CARDSTOCK was cut from the BIG SHOT using the HEART DIE on the magnetic MOVERS AND SHAPERS DIE. The heart that is the RED GLITTER...is made by using the HEART PUNCH (that is a hand held punch).
Funny story...my son Joe was very willing to test-taste every single Turtle for me. He wanted to make sure that they were good enough! ha :)
I also really like working with the Giradelli Chocolates. I think it is because of the square size that makes them so fun to work with. You can use these chocolates in so many different ways.
Here I used the PETAL DIE and the BIG SHOT. Also ran it through with the FINIAL PRESS EMBOSSING FOLDER to get that textured look on it. There is no adhesive used on this project, EXCEPT for around the designer paper. I call it a BELLY BAND when you put a piece around something to hold it together. I didn't name it that...Stampin' Up! named it that years ago. But it makes sense...a belly band!
The paper that I used is called FIRST EDITION. It is in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I also stamped some BLACK FLOWERS on it to give it a little more attention. The ribbon is that super skinny ribbon that is 1/8" wide. It is available in many colors.

Now some Valentine cards for you...
I like the look of the MODERN LABEL PUNCH for the word "LOVE" on this project.
I do love the 4 square pieces used on this project. You can really adapt this layout to anything! Think of all the scraps of designer paper you have...use it up on this type of card :)
What do you think of the BASIC GREY CARDSTOCK? I think it is great!
I wish everyone a very SWEET Valentine's!!!
Have a great day! Lori :)
