Do you all remember the little fortunes we made in school.? You know the ones where you pick a color and move the fortune as many times there were letters. Then you did a number and did it again until you got to the end and you lifted up the fortune for that person. Well these were made the same way. They make cute little candy holders. Just fold them and add handles. I also rounded my points to make it a little more baskety. I know that's not a word, but I couldn't help it.
I thought this was a great idea. Stampin' Up! shared it with us demos and I couldn't resist. I gave these to my club members. Each one was slightly different as I used our hostess 6x6 pack to make them. I forgot to take pics of the group though, so this is all I have left.
Isn't it cute?
My handle is the Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch.










I also made some more mini cards. Here is one of them. It uses the Filled with Love set and the heart of hearts embosslit from the big shot. I stamped the background on it and then I added a punched heart using the full heart punch. Don't you just love it when they coordinate? Then I backed it with a black heart from the embosslit - another coordinating piece. Then I added some real read grosgrain ribbon and then a little gem in the top right hand of the heart. The heart is also raised up on Dimensionals.
Pretty quick and easy card.
So I hope you enjoy more Valentine ideas.
Sorry I've been such a slacker posting. Life has been very busy lately. I'll be glad when it slows down.

This was our third mini card we did. It was on a real red base with a black mat. The whisper white we stamped the xoxo stamp with pretty in pink ink and inked the edges. Then we punched the black scallop and red circle. On another white piece of paper we used the stamp set called I heart hearts and stamped 2 hearts and then cut around them and popped them up with dimensionals. It gave the little card some added dimension. I made some more of these cards and I need to take some pictures. they are really fun to make.

This is the last item we made. It is a gatefold card that opens in the middle. It doesn't quite look like that though as the black mat goes past the middle, so it overlaps it. The left side is secured closed behind the heart mounted on the right side with a dimensional. It all slides underneath and fits just snugly. I thought it a fun way to open the card and a cool twist on that type of card. The little heart and circle in the middle of the Love word are punched pieces and the little heart is raised up on dimensionals. The little hearts at the bottom are also hearts from the heart punch from the itty bitty punch pack. To top it all off I added a little jewel to the red heart. I love how that set matches some punches. I love it when things match and are easy to use to create that little wow.
So I hope they give you some ideas for some more valentine cards. Hope you have a really great day today.
