Valentine Gift Card Holder

From Adriel:

Hi! I hope you had a nice weekend. I got to go out on a date with my husband, so that was definitely nice! (Thanks Mom & Dad)

The project I'm sharing with you today is a Valentine Gift Card Holder. I've shared the link to the tutorial before, but just in case you missed it, HERE YOU GO! I've made several of these gift card holders and they are very easy to make and great for any occassion. Okay, so here's the gift card holder...

This card was made using the following:

Love You Much Bundle (Love You Much set, Heart to Heart punch, Candy Lane DS paper)

Close to Cocoa CS

Pink Pirouette CS

Very Vanilla CS

Riding Hood Red ink

Sticky Strip

1-3/8" circle punch

1-1/4" circle punch

dimensionals

We will be making this gift card holder, along with other projects, at our upcoming class, Valentine Treasures. Click HERE to see something else we'll be making at this class! If you're interested in the class, please check out THIS MONTH'S NEWSLETTER or the CALENDAR.

Tea Bag Book

From Heidi...

I'll share the Tea Bag Book first. I love making these little tea card books and I had a lot of fun using the stamps, paper and punches from the Love You Much bundle on this one. Everything coordinates so well together. We'll be making this tea bag book at our first Stamp Club meeting of the year, January 22, using the Love You Much stamp set, paper and punches. Join us if you can.

Thanks for looking!

Rustic Thanks Card

From Adriel:

I hope you all had a great weekend! Our weekend flew by so fast! Yikes!

Here's a card that I made several months ago. I've never posted it on here, so here it is!

I've been working on some fun Valentine cards, but I can't show them to you, because they're made with new stamps and materials that cannot be posted until after Dec. 23rd. So, I'm waiting until then. You're going to love the Valentine bundle Stampin' Up! put together! It's darling! I hope that you can make it to our Valentine Treasures class we will be doing after the first of the year. More details about that later! Stay tuned...

Be Mine Box

From Adriel:

Okay, so I showed you the fun paper I made last week using a blank sheet of paper and stamps, sponges and ink. Today, I'm going to show you what I did with some of the paper. This is also a sneak-peek at one of the projects we have planned for our Valentine Treasures project class. We will have more info about dates and times for that later. Here's the cute chocolate nugget box I made using my own paper. Each chocolate is also wrapped with the special paper and stamped to spell out "Be Mine". Hope you like it!

Adriel's new blog

From Adriel:

Good morning! My mom and I are going to be heading out of here in about an hour to a craft show, but before I left, I wanted to let you all know about my new blog. I wanted a blog where I could put other craft ideas and interests not related to stamping and such. I will still be updating this blog and being involved here. You can visit my other blog by going to: http://www.mycraftingadventures.blogspot.com/. I just started it a couple of days ago, so there's not much on it yet. It looks pretty lonely right now!!

On another note, the other day I began work on a project for our Valentine Treasures class coming up early next year. This class will be held at my mom's house, so I hope some of you can make it. I made this paper with stamping and sponging. I ended up using it on one of the projects! I will show you what I made with it another time. For now, here's the paper I made, which started out as a blank sheet of white paper! Let me know what you think!

P.S. I started this post this morning, but had problems with Blogger. I finished posting after the craft show, so that's why at the beginning of the post I'm talking about morning and then this post doesn't get posted until the evening. Thanks!
