Valentine Treat Holder

We’re quickly approaching our next holiday, if you call it that, Valentine’s Day. Do you participate in giving cards and or gifts to your family and friends? Or do you have kids that do so?

Hey there! Today I'm sharing a Valentine Treat Holder project created for CutCardStock. These would work great for gifting Valentine candies and/or small trinkets. And they’re pretty easy to construct!

Card stock used includes:

KRAFT CHIPBOARD .022

Pop Tone PINK LEMONADE

Basis RED 80lb Cardstock

DCS Discount Card Stock: Canvas Textured Habanero Red 

DCS Red GLITTER Heavyweight 12×12 Discount Card Stock

I started by die cutting 2 hearts for each holder out of KRAFT CHIPBOARD .022. This chipboard is great for projects like this. It is really sturdy and die cuts beautifully. My hearts are approximately 4 inches in size.

Cut a strip of card stock 5 1/2 inches long by 2 inches wide. Score at 2 3/4 inches along the long side and 1/2 and 1 1/2 inches along the short side. This will give you a total width of 1 inch for your finished box. you can increase the width if you would like a wider box. Also note, that if you die cut a larger heart than I used, you may need to use a longer piece of card stock for the edges.

Cut V shaped notches on both sides of the center score mark as seen in the first photo below.

Fold on the score lines to form a V shape as seen in the second photo.

Adhere the heart die cuts to the V shaped piece along the 1/2 inch sides as seen in photo #3.

The holder is basically done at this point and it’s time to add a little decoration and a handle, if you choose to do so.

I die cut more hearts and layered to add to the front and back of each holder. You can choose to add whatever you wish.

Cut strips of card stock 11 inches long and 1 inch wide for the handles. I chose to border punch one of the handles and added a 1/4 inch strip of card stock to the center. A scallop edge was cut on one and ribbon added. The third handle is a plain strip which I added a punched strip with ribbon laced through to.

Adhere the ends of each handle to the inside of either side of the holder.

To finish, I added die cuts to the front and left the backs without embellishment.

Thank you so much for taking a look at my project! I hope I’ve inspired you to try making these!

And, we would love for you to connect with us over on the CutCardStock Facebook Page and the Facebook Group Creating with Card Stock for more inspiration.

Visit the CutCardStock Blog for more inspiration.

You Are Amazing

Hello!

It's time for this week's

Polkadoodles Craft Challenge!

The theme is 

ANYTHING GOES

This week I created a card with an encouragement theme using the

Helga Hippo Sitting Pretty Digi Stamp.

I colored her with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut before

popping with foam tape onto my card. The base was created with the

Wildflower Meadow Stencil.

I added die cut grass and the tree branch was busy cut from the

Helga Hippo Embellies Download Bundle.

I stamped the sentiment from the Believe Stamp Set.

A yellow ribbon and bow were added to complete my design.

Won't you join us?

Be Mine

Hi there!

Today I share my first post of the month for

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

My project is a Valentine card using

Valentine Cupcake Stamps

Cupcake Die

This stamp set is great as it can be used for just about any occasion,

not just Valentines creations.

And the die set coordinates with 3 other Cupcake Stamps available here.

I stamped the cupcake top and bottom with black ink.

They were colored with Prismacolor Pencils and then die cut.

I die cut the tiny hearts, included with the die set, 

4 times out of a pretty red glitter card stock.

The stamped and die cut pieces were added to a triple layered heart,

created with 3 die cuts cut with dies from my stash.

 

I created stripes on my pink card base with white card stock and 

the same red glitter card stock used for the tiny hearts.

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a look at today's project!

We would love for you to connect with us in the

Pajama Crafter Stamps and Friends Facebook Group!

You can find more Pajama Crafter Stamps inspiration from 

other design team members and are welcome to post your creations

 using Pajama Crafter Stamps products.
