And here is my favourite product in the Suite!!! Heart Foil Tins... 

Now... any of my friends fancy making heart shaped cupcakes!!?? As I would love to do that for my Valentines Day treat...

Happy Valentines Day - an ape chocolate twist!

I had this idea as soon as I saw the Hey Love ape... and even stamped a couple of apes to experiment... but time rolled on (as it does) and it wasn't until this week when I was packing my son's Valentine box that I finally remembered...

And I reckon it worked... 3D card with a cheeky monkey holding a chocolate heart... though I guess that this ape has been trashed by now... and the chocolate well and truly scoffed!

And a few photos that hopefully say it all... for anyone needing a quick fix to having forgotten so far today!! Just stamp, colour, cut & stick a couple of apes like so.....

 More details on the colouring and the card for you here...

Hope you have all had a lovely Valentines Day... and that you have all been spoilt!

Valentine Trio

Now as I made this year's clean & simple Hey Valentine card (shared here)... I knew some of my ladies would think I had gone completely and barking mad with the gorilla image,. and that they would really would not want to make that one for their "loved one"... so I made a few spares...

First up a simple stamped and die cut heart... I reckon this is the least fussy heart from the gorgeous Meant to Be stamp set with co-ordinating dies... and so is suitable for cards for the men folk...

And then secondly... with just one person in mind.... yes for the Andrea and Andrew duo....and another card with "the main squeeze" expression from the Lemon Zest set ... though we had to go pink grapefruit for the citrus fruit!

And so... everyone was happy!!

Hey Love Pillow Box

 So here is the Treat Box to match the quick & simple Hey Love  Valentine card shared earlier here...

I am loving these Crumb Pillow Boxes... such a perfect size to pop a gift card in or a few chocolates or sweets... or a small gift... and they take no time at all to decorate....

Which is a good job as I had to make the card and treat holder in about 15 minutes from start to finish... and prep them for the class too!!! As I completely forgot that it was the last class before Valentines Day this year... Oops...

I love that I managed to just use 6"s worth of paper on these... yes I would have preferred to wrap the paper around about 1cm (3/8")  more... but it just covered it... though it was neater if you started on the top crease/side rather than the back... All My Love hearts paper 4 cm wide... Botanical Butterfly Dots 1.5cm wide

Though I did have a laugh... I had bought big chocolate Lebkuchen hearts for everyone so they could pop a couple in the box and so have the treat holder ready to just gift come Valentines Day... but most were just eaten!!!! And poor me... I was so good... the diet held out...

 And I can't wait to make and share my new idea for this ape!!! If it works out as it is in my head!!
