Valentine Marshmallow Rose boxes

Here are Valentine Marshmallow Rose boxes I made using the Cricut Elegant Edges Cartridge, a 12x12 sheet of card stock, and recollection Valentine stickers. 

I also made belly bands using the cutout scrap and a strip of white card stock.

I doodled on some of the ovals for the belly band and inked up the edges of the rest of the ovals using American Crafts red ink.

These were sold like hot cakes at my kids school's Vday bake sale fundraiser.

Valentine's Day Cupcake Box & Card

Hello  Everyone,

Hope you're having an awesome day. 

It's snowing ice here in New York. 

Drive safely, watch out for the pedestrians. 

Walkers, look both ways, and watched out for those drivers.

I made this box using the Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More 2 Cartridge

I used the two part feature at 8" tall.

I used the Spellbinders Dies S4-114 and S4-293. 

From both sets I used the third die from the center. 

I then popped it up using Recollections Foam Squares.

For the cupcake insert I used the third circle from the center of the Spellbinders Dies S4-114. I also used the Recollections 5/8" circle lever punch to punch the notched on the sides of the insert's circle.

I downloaded and printed this pattern paper for my box. My printer's ink quality is low, so the shade of colors were a bit lighter. I liked the way it came out though. It gave it a softer look. You can find more of these beautiful pattern papers at www.printablepartyshop.com

I used a downloaded subway art for the front of my card

For the inside of my card I created the sentiment using the fonts (Always Forever) and (Old Gate Lane FN) that I downloaded from http://www.1001freefonts.com

I also downloaded and printed this subway art for my card from rareynolds.blogspot.com

Not sure if this originated from there but this blogger does share links to other blogs where you can find more subway art like:

eighteen25.blogspot.com, danielandbrittneydye.blogspot.com, and bloominghomestead.blogspot.com

14 Days of Love Blog Hop

Hello My Crafty Friends,

 Here are some projects that I've put together for the Valentine's Day PTA Fundraiser at my children's school.

Five Sided boxes

I was Inspired to make these two five sided boxes after watching PootlesPaperCraft

 YouTube video Stampin' Up! UK 5 Sided Box Tutorial I also used the Cricut Doodlecharms Cartridge for the hearts and scalloped hearts.

Cupcake Boxes

 
These cupcake boxes were made using one sheet of 8 1/2"x11" sheet of 110 lb. cards stock. The bottom colored lining is the center piece of the scalloped circle. This is so the oils from the cupcake won't stain through the box.

Gift Box

I made this gift box using one 8 1/2"x11" sheet of card stock.

Rose Box

This marshmallow rose box was made using the Cricut Elegant Edges Cartridge, MaymayMadeIt Simply Spanish Stamp Set, and a 12"x12" sheet of card stock.

Treat Boxes

 

I made these three treat boxes using peachy keen stamps, and the 

Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cartridge and a 8 1/2"x11". 

Note:  I recommend using the options to use two sheets of card stock because it is easier to assemble.

Mustache Card

This is a 5 1/2"x8 1/2" card. The inner sentiment for this mustache card was made using my cricut expression and adhesive foamies. I had created a stamp. The mid piece of the sentiment was very intricate, so I had to modify it using bic markers. I also added the "?" manually.

Bookmark Note Cards

I made these bookmark/note cards using the gift card holder measurement on the WeRmemory Keepers Envelope Punch board. I also used the ovals and scalloped oval Spellbinders dies, Scrappy Moms Stamps, Hero Arts Stamps, and CraftSmart Stamps.

Personalized Cricut Sentiment Cards

This is a 6"x6" card. I created this sentiment using my cricut expression. I used different fonts and flipped the sentiment. I then added zig two way glue to the letters while they were still on the cricut cutting mat. Then while using my clear ruler I aligned a white card stock that measured 5 1/2"x5 1/2" over the letters. I pressed down and waited a few seconds for the adhesive to stick and pulled up the card stock. Then presto, instant perfect placement of each letter.

This is also a 6"x6" card. In this card I used the leftover card stock from the previous sentiment I had created; waste not want not.

Thanks for stoping by.

Have a blessed day!

Lots of Hugs
