Mail box

I have had a couple of the tin mail boxes laying around and thought I would attempt to make one pretty. It was a but frustrating, with some trial and error it was actually quite easy. I think I am going to give this to my son's teacher. They will be making valentine boxes for there exchange and so I thought I would make one for the teacher.



I just measured the box and cut the proper width x 12". I semi figured out where the flag was and took a 1/2" circle punch a punched a hole, then slid the DSP over the flag.

I used Sending Love DSP from SU, chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon, and Mod Podge.

Valentine Card

Valenines day is just around the corner, I came across these ideas and thought they rocked. All supplies SU unless noted.

Base of card is pretty in pink, all the DSP is from the new SU mini is Sending Love. Other colours I used are real red, very vanilla, and chocolate chip.

I used both tag punches, and the 3 trio flower punch

The tutorial for the tag card can be found here , scroll down a bit)

My first challenge

Valentines seem to be the theme lately. I made this card for my hubby but then I got carried away with sending out valentines and now one of my friends will end up receiving. I did make another one for hubby though.

This card was made from a card sketch, which I love and have made about 8 variations of. You can find the original challenge sketch on SCS here

All supplies used are SU, unless noted.

Mat is regal rose, then I cut my mats out of real red and whisper white 4 x 1 3/4. The inside mats I used some real red paper from a prints pack and whisper white stamped with a heart 3.75 x 1.5. Then I punched out a scallop of real red and circle punched the white, the be mine sentiment comes from Micheal's stamps.

Harley valentine

Just a quick post here, I took this picture in the laundry room, hiding from the hubby. This is what I made for him for Valentine's Day. He rides so we are sorta into Harley stuff.

Nugget tin from here

Peppermint patties, covered with only orange and basic black. The stamp is from Born to ride and a happy valentines. The bar and shields (for non Harley people-the orange stamp on belly band) is from a Harley stamp set by EK Success, ribbon from who knows where. The belly band is basic black and whisper white stamped in only orange.

Valentine's treats

Today must have been my lucky day. There was a water main break at work so I got to come home early, no kits, so time to craft. I jump from projects to projects, I ordered some nugget tins of the neat and have been making them like crazy. I am making some for my husband, guess what kind.....Harley Davidson of course. I am sure if you look at some of my other posts you will know I am into that kinda thing. I actually have a few people that are buying some off of me, kewl eh? I started gathering the tutorial together last night and have started to put it together so it is indeed coming.
