Many, Many Valentines

 Hi all! - Happy Valentines Day!

Today I thought I would share with you some of the Valentine cards that I've been making for my grand kiddos.  Three of them live in Colorado, so I need to get a wiggle on to get them out, along with their treats.  Since I have 5 grandchildren, I felt I needed to make a couple of different Valentine cards.  

Here is card #1 - cute and more cute!



Here is Card #2


I got the idea for the flip card from fellow Stampin'Up! demonstrator, Brenda Quintana.  Here is the link to her original post and video;  https://www.qbeesquest.com/2021/04/sweet-ice-cream-flip-cards.html


Card #3:  A turtle card:


I also made some cute heart boxes - from instructions created by Brenda Quintana (https://www.qbeesquest.com/2022/01/small-heart-shaped-boxes-tutorial.html).  I changed it up a little by using the Sweet Talk designer series paper on my lid sides.  Two dark chocolate dove heart shaped candies fit perfectly in the box!


Here are some more Valentines that I made:




See my blog post of February 9th for a video on how to make this card

I'm exhausted.  Almost as bad as Christmas as far as how many cards I've made.  Now to send them out!

Hope you enjoyed my Valentine inspirations.   Have a happy Valentines Day!

Thanks for stopping by.


Blessings,  Sheryl

Day 3 Valentine Treat Holder - The Bag-A-Lope!

Hello All!


Here is day 3 of my Valentine Treats videos and instructions!  Again, this is a blast from the past - 2017 to be exact.  





And here is an updated version using current Stampin'Up product!






Here are the instructions:

  • You will need a paper cutter that both scores and cuts
  • You will need a bone folder, and strong adhesive like Fast Fuse or glue dots, or the Tombow liquid glue (you have to hold it in place for a second or 2)
  • Stamps and ink; Other items you feel so inclined to decorate with - let your creativity out of the box!
  • Take an A2 Stampin'Up Envelope, white or very vanilla. You can use the Crumb Cake envelopes, but they are thicker than the Whisper White and take a little more manipulation to get them to cooperate. For your first few, I would practice on the white, then graduate to the crumb cake.
  • Score at 1" on 3 sides - 2 long and 1 short.
  • On the other short side, cut off 1" (envelope will be in the landscape position on the cutter)
  • Seal the envelope flap down with adhesive, making sure you go to the edge and that you just put adhesive on the glue portion of the flap. Any deeper than that and the bag won't open up correctly,
  • Fold and burnish on all three score lines, folding and burnishing in both directions
  • To make bag, place hand inside of envelope and spread it out. With your other hand, gently tap the bottom until it folds on the score lines - you will form 2 triangles at each end.
  • Glue the triangles down for a flat bottom
  • Decorate to your heats content!
  • Handle is a 3/4" x 8" piece of whisper white card stock (or crumb cake if you are doing a crumb cake envelope). Stamp before putting on the bag
  • Using the bone folder, curl this paper and put adhesive on each end. Adhere to the inside of the bag on each end.
  • I have a video for you, showing you how to make this. Dawn Griffith also has a video which is much better. I have the personality of a snail when I tape video's. I think I may have a career as a golf announcer! I applaud all those Stampin'Up! Demonstrators that do such a wonderful job making videos! I'm not one of them! Anyway, my video gets the job done so here it is:

Here is the video which explains all!



I hope you enjoyed today's video.  Comment below to let me know!

Blessings,  Sheryl
