Hello to each of you who pop in to see my projects today – yes, I have more than one to share today.

I am sharing these projects for this week’s Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop because the theme is TREATS FOR MY SWEET and the brief is to make a 3D project.

I used the VALENTINE KEEPSAKE STAMP SET.

My first gift box was made using the MINI CURVY KEEPSAKES BOX DIE. At first I cut out a heart using the small scalloped one from the STITCHED BE MINE DIES. Then I stamped the heart flowers image using Versamark and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on three sides of the box.

The RESIN HEARTS from the SNAIL MAIL SUITE are perfect for these projects.

I also used the white embossing powder for the ‘Be Mine’ sentiment and cut it using one of the STITCHED RECTANGLE DIES. After punching holes in this piece and the heart, I tied them using some of the white twine from the SNAIL MAIL TWINE COMBO PACK.

The white flowers look so beautiful against the Poppy Parade card stock. Perfect Valentine’s Day colours.

The “You Have My Heart’ sentiment looks great cut this way – the square die from the MINI CURVY KEEPSAKES DIES. And, the single heart from the HEART CHARMS (LOVE YOU ALWAYS SUITE) is a lovely touch for this gift box.

The second mini curvy keepsakes box was stamped using the rows of hearts image – Poppy Parade on Poppy Parade.

My next gift box was custom designed to coordinate with the heart panels that i made. I used my Stamparatus to stamp the images and then, after cleaning the stamp, I restamped the image using Versamark so that I could heat emboss the hearts with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. This gave the hearts a glossy sheen.

Then I cut the panels using one of squares from the STITCHED SHAPES DIES.

I used a smaller one of the squares dies to cut the Poppy Parade sentiment panel.

The STITCHED BE MINE DIES were used again – this time to cut out the detailed heart that is on top of the box. I placed ADHESIVE SHEETS behing the Basic White card stock first – much better than getting sticky fingers placing Multipurpose Glue on the back.

I cut three lengths of the White Twine, as used earlier, and coloured one strand using the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend Marker. The triple bow was then secured with a Mini Glue Dot.

And, in keeping with all things Valentine – red-wrapped chocolates, for someone sweet.

For my last project, I adapted the gift bag (inspired by Ronda Wade) to make this little 3″x 3-1/2″x 1-1/2″ treat holder. I used two sheets of Poppy Parade 6″x 6″ DSP that will be released in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue later in the year. The bundle of five DSP packs are a gift for those who join Stampin’ Up!® during Sale-a-bration. I definitely like using the CLEVER CLASPS in my projects.
