You Are Loved Valentine Ensemble

Happy Valentines Day!!

Here is a set of items we made for Valentine's Day - a Tunnel Fold Card, the tin I posted about yesterday and a decorated tea-light candle.

The tunnel fold card is a very simple but effective card to make. I used the tutorial here along with my trusted Top Note Bigz Die. All of the stamps used are from the You Are Loved stamp set.

And the Liebe, Love, Amour A La Carte stamp made decorating the tea-light candle a breeze!!! Along with the new 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch ( and a non SU! 2" punch I  have in my stash) More details about decorating the tea-light candles on my earlier blog post here.

Here is another photo  - this time showing the front of the card where I used the Top Note die shape I had cut out for the Tunnel card format inside.  The HUSBAND stamp is from the wonderful For My Family stamp set - a real have-to-have stamp set.....

You Are Loved Valentine Tin

Another quick post to share a Valentine heart shaped tin!! Thanks again for the tins Lindsey...... we LOVE these!!!

The tin was stamped using the large heart stamp from the new You are Loved stamp set - and white Staz On ink ( which still proved very slippy!!)

The tin was wrapped using Real Red polka dot paper from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack  - along with the gorgeous Pool Party ruffled ribbon ( so perfect for the job!!) and the Real Red 1/8" taffeta ribbon over the top.

And the topper.... a Real Red heart using the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit; a  Pool Party punched Scallop Oval and a Real Red punched Large Oval LOVE greeting ( again from the You Are Loved stamp set). And then finished off with a quick gemstone and a little Regal Rose butterfly from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.

And inside - chocolate hearts decorated in the same way.... Yum!!! And another quick photo - you can see the stunning effect of that ruffled ribbon a bit better in this photo!!
