From My Heart Be My Valentine Little Debbie Treat Box

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a project that I think you can totally use especially if you need to make some treats for your child's classroom for Valentine's day or for a view coworkers to show you are thinking about them.  I came up with this super cute inexpensive treat idea using products from the From My Heart Suite from the 2020 January - June Mini Catalog.  And, the best part is the treats that fit inside are little snack cakes from Little Debbie I used the Be My Valentine Cakes.  The super cute little heart shaped snack cakes!  And they have Flirty Flamingo icing on them!  So it was perfect.  And the even better part was they are super easy to make, and you could fold them flat and store them until you need them.  Here's a look at my project.

Tips & Tricks: 

To make this top opening box you will need either a piece of Real Red or Flirty Flamingo Cardstock cut at 7 1/2" x 8 1/2".  On the 7 1/2" (short) side you are going to score at 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 6 & 7.  On the 8 1/2" (long) side you are going to score at 1 /2", 1 1/2", 7, & 8.  The long side of the box is the side that the flaps will open and close.  Once all the score lines are folded and burnished you will do your cutting.    You can watch the video for complete cutting and assembly instructions.  

The box measures when complete 2 1/2" x 1" x 5 1/2".  So it's a nice size box.  You can fit so much more in it then just the little debbie snack cakes if you wanted to.  If you are using the little debbie cakes it will fit one pack of the Be My Valentine Snake Cakes pictured above.  You get 5 or the two packs in a box for a couple bucks.  So really cost effect to give.  It's also a great way to dress up a simple little item.  And really who doesn't like Little Debbies?  I love them and I am almost 46 years old.  

I used the Heartfelt bundle to create the sentiment on the outside of the box, and the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series paper along with the Heart Shape Doilies to dress up the box.  I cut my DSP down to 2 x 5" and matted them on a piece of 2 1/4 x 5 1/4" whisper white cardstock.  I used a scrap piece of whisper white cardstock to stamp the heart in Real Red Ink and punched it out using one of the matching Heart punches from the Bundle.  I stamped the arrow in Basic Gray ink and cut it out by hand.  I added the doily to the front of the box with a little snail adhesive and then added the arrow with mini glue dots.  I popped the heart up on the box with a couple stampin' dimensionals.

Blogging Friends Blog Hop: Can You Feel the Love Tonight

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am taking part in the Blogging Friends Blog Hop.  This month our theme is Can You Feel the Love Tonight!  I picked products from the From My Heart Suite of products from the 2020 Mini Catalog for my projects today.  I also created two cards for today's hop, both cards uses most of the same products and the same layout.  Today is also the first day that you can order new products from the new 2020 Mini Catalog and kicks off this years Sale-a-bration event.  Here's a look at the frist card.

I used the From My Heart Speciality Designer Series Paper as the Main focus of my card.  For this card I used a strip of Whisper White cardstock and placed across the bottom center and stamped the sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink on the right side of the card.  I punched out a heart with one of the heart punches from the Heart Punch pack.  I then layered it onto one of the heart doilies.  This finished off this card.

My second card uses the same layout.  I stamped the sentiment in Real Red on this version of the card and punched out one of the scalloped hearts from the From My Heart Speciality Designer Series Paper.  I popped it up on dimensionals and added a bow that I made using the Real Red Double Stitched Ribbon.  I attached the bow using a mini glue dot.

The products that I used today are also products that I picked to create my first new online class of 2020.  I will be sharing more information about my upcoming class later today.

Heartfelt Reeses Cup Flip Top Box Video Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my second blog post for today; I wanted to take a little time and share with you the project that I made last night during my weekly Facebook Live.  Each Wednesday at 8 pm CST I do a Facebook Live on my business page showcasing a different project.  This week I wanted to share a project using the From My Heart Suite.  Roses are red, violets are blue; this product suite was designed just for you! Celebrate your sweetheart with the From My Heart Suite Bundle. With bursts of hearts, traditional Valentine’s Day colors, and pops of pretty foil, your handmade creations will speak from the heart this Valentine’s Day. The heart craft punches perfectly align with some of the images on the Designer Series Paper and stamps. Use the ribbon, gems, doilies, and tins to create to your heart’s content!  This suite of products goes live tomorrow with all the other great wonderful products in the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog.  Here's a look at my project.

Tips & Tricks: 

This was a extremely easy box to put together once I figured the measurements.  The trick to figuring out what size you need is to measure the items that you are going to put in it.  I always measure height, width, and depth.  Then at that point it's pretty easy to figure out.  For my box I needed a 5 1/4 x 8 1/4" piece of cardstock.  

I designed my project to hold two regular size Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  They are stacked up on top of each other.  I started out on the 8 1/4" side of  the cardstock and scored at 1 1/4, 3 1/2, 4 3/4, & 7.  On the short side you score at 1 1/4 & 4".  Once I had all the scoring done it was time to do a little folding and burnishing.  Once I had the cardstock cut as shown in the video, I added my designer series paper first.  I used a little of the From my Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

The playful heart patterns in the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper have red and pink foil accents on some designs. Some images from the paper can be cut out using the Heart Punch Pack. This paper is excellent for valentines, cards, and scrapbook pages.  After adding the paper I stamped the Happy Valentine's Heart from the Heartfelt Stamp Set and punched it out with the matching punch.  I also punched out a scalloped heart using the other punch.  I layered both hearts together and added a dimensional at the top of the heart and the bottom.  This way once added to the top of the box the ribbon was still free to slide and tie easily.
