Need a last minute Valentine Treat for family or friends? How about a cute little bag? Today’s project is one that I whipped up to hold two little Kit Kat bars that I found at my local Target and could resist picking up. These cute little bears were wrapped in what looked like to me Poppy Parade and Pretty in Pink and Flirty Flamingo wrappers that I thought would match our Made with Love Designer Series Paper perfectly!
And since they came in a smaller package I wouldn’t have a lot of chocolate temping me after I made the treats. That’s a win, win for me.
Here is the little treat I made with them.
Cute right? I fell in love with this little lamb as soon as I saw the Woolly Friends stamp set (166881) and it’s coordinating Woolly Friends Builder Punch (166887) in the January – April Mini Catalog. AND since I’ve always loved punches I knew it would be one of my first purchases from the Mini.
Here is a quick tutorial for you to learn how I created this fun little treat.
I’ve also made a PDF tutorial for you with measurements, instructions, and link to the video tutorial so everything is in one place when you are ready to create.
Do you love giving little gifts for the special days throughout the year? Or maybe you need a little classroom goodie for the kids. I’ve got a fun little item that holds a special treat that all ages will enjoy.
It’s called a sour cream container – do you remember those since serve containers that you pick up while going through a buffet line? While I haven’t seen one in a while they are still fun to make!
So why not let me show you how to make one? They are so quick and simple to make and with the Bee My Valentine stamp set and coordinating punch they are fast to make too!
Check out my Video Tutorial below
And of course if you want to make these I’ve got a PDF with the measurements, supply list and even the YouTube link all in one place that you can print or save!

Today’s card is a Shutter Card. Have you made one of these cards before? They look difficult but really aren’t. With just a few strips of paper you create a fun look.
Check out today’s card that uses this fun technique
This set allows you to build words the way you’d like. Today’s card uses the heart and pull the “you” from another set such as Reason to Celebrate (166905). A bit of fussy cutting allows you to add it t to complete the message.
Team it up with your favorite paper like this card does. The Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (165175) has such beautiful floral images and the colors are perfect for this Valentine’s Day card.
Now, want to know how that fun shutter look is created? Simply stamp your sentiment onto your card stock the size you’d like and adhere it down onto the larger panel. Then use your strips on each side of the sentiment panel, starting at the left edge and running off the edge. Repeat on the next side moving clock wise until all four sides are finished. (The floral Designer Series Paper is really just one larger piece although it doesn’t look like it when you’re done.) Voila!
If you’d like to see my Card that I created and shared with you using the technique why not check out my tutorial HERE? It even includes a video for you.
Check it out – notice the background of this card? It’s actually dry embossed and the embossed areas have had color added to them to make it “pop”. Then a bit of color was added with a Blending Brush to add a bit more impact and ground the hearts.
Done in Real Red, Bubble Bath and Pool Party, it pulls the color inspiration straight from the Designer Series Paper found in the Suite. And you’ll love the fun little 1/8″ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon (167075) that is so easy to tie and great for all kinds of projects.
How is this technique done? It’s so simple to do. You’ll simply apply ink to the raised “positive” embossed side with a brayer, add the card stock, and run thru your Stampin’ Cut and Emboss like normal. And Voila! Think of a letterpress. Want color on the negative area? Simply add color to the other half of your folder and you’ll get a totally different look.
I love this simple technique for creating backgrounds that pop. How about you? Why not give it a try with your favorite folder?
I didn’t have time this week to get a tutorial to share with you after returning from our last minute trip and then storm preperation but I do have a fun fold card to share with you from my recent swap.
So today’s card uses the Book Binding Fun Fold to create a colorful little Valentine for that someone special. The card uses the Made with Love Suite (167079) that is filled with all kinds of goodies for this special day.
Check out today’s card using these traditional Valentine colors and products.
This cute little Book Binding Card is created by simply scoring the 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ card base at 4 1/4″ and then again at 5 3/8″. The 1 1/8″ section is then adhered down to the inside of the card and decorated as desired. When opened you’ll have a smaller 5 1/8″ x 3″ section to place your signature panel. That’s it. Soooo simple!
Why not try a Book Binding Card today? They are so easy to do and add a little fun to your card too!

This Bundle has a punch that makes creating tags and more quick and simple. Check out these two cards made using this bundle.
This first card uses simple stamping to create a card quickly.
Done in Highland Heather and Petunia Pop it draws on traditional Valentine color themes. And the two little Highland Heather hearts under the sentiment were created with the Bee Builder Punch (162553). This punch is a great one to use since it has multiple size hearts and coordinates with a another fun stamp set, the Bee My Valentine Stamp set.

Yesterday was a crazy kind of day and so I didn’t get to share with you my weekly tutorial, but with the rain coming in again this afternoon it is a great time to spend a little time crafting! So here you go.
Today’s card uses the Bee Mine Suite and is quick and easy to create since it uses punches. The adorable Bee Builder Punch (162553) makes creating this fun little bee quick and easy and the 2″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 133782) will make your stamping so easy too. I love sentiments that are punched out like this since they make everyone successful. I know as a beginner stampers I loved punches since if I needed to stamp again I didn’t have to start all over again and could just do the one image or sentiment.
Here is a video tutorial for you
And of course a PDF that you can print that even contains the YouTube Link for easy reference!
