more valentine projects

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.
