FOURTEEN DAYS of LOVE - Day Six

Today I want to show you just how versatile the framelits are.  This is from the Apothecary set.  I simply cut it out in Real Red cardstock, tied it together with Whisper White ribbon and it holds three Hersey's kisses (these are candy cane kisses left from Christmas).  To decorate this cute candy holder I simply punched two 3/4" circles from Glimmer paper, stamped the sentiment "KISSES" with the Countless Sayings 2 Photopolymer stamp set and backed it with a Bermuda Bay 1 1/4" circle, added a couple of Rhinestones and VIOLA...I was finished!  QUICK AND SIMPLE...my new motto!

Notice, back on Day 2, I used the same framelit as a topper by simply scoring it in half lengthwise.  To make it into a Hershey's kisses holder I simply layed it on my scoring board and scored it at 2" and 3".  I LOVE that you can change it up a bit and use the framelits in so many different ways....MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!!

FOURTEEN DAYS of LOVE - Day Five

I'm BACK!!! So sorry...I needed a few days to catch my breath and CATCH UP!!!  

My plan is to make my FOURTEEN DAYS of LOVE projects quick and simple!  What could be easier than using the Milk Carton Diecut and my Bigshot?  I stamped the hearts with the Language of Love stamp set onto a 1" strip of Whisper White cardstock, then wrapped it around the milk carton.  The be mine is from the Crazy, Mixed up Love stamp set....notice the Basic Pearl as the bee's eye!  The stamped heart is covered by a Glimmer paper punched heart for dimension.  I finished it off by FILLING it with candy and closing it with a mini binder clip that I purchased at an office supply store.  QUICK...SIMPLE...and FUN!!

HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY!!!

I used the Follow My Heart stamp set for the sentiment inside   I used my Stampin' Write Markers to brush the words in Bermuda Bay and the heart in Real Red.

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND and REMEMBER....

FOURTEEN DAYS of LOVE - Day Three

Envelope Box

To make this box you simply place a 6x6 piece of designer ( this is Polka Dot on Parade) on the Envelope Punch Board. Score and punch at 3 inches, then score again at 3 ½ inches.  Rotate and repeat two more times.  Rotate a third time but only punch (don’t score).  Adhere with sticky tape or snail adhesive (tombo).  Decorate as you wish.  I used the Love You to the Moon stamp set.  Fill it with gum, chocolate etc. and this cute little 3 1/4 X 3 1/4 card!
