Valentine Gift Set Tutorial



 

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a fun and easy tutorial to make this lovely gift set as a treat for Valentine's Day.  I love the Hexagon Pop Up Card Valentine Hearts that Lori has which you can find here in her shop and here in the Silhouette store.  I wanted to build my gift around the card.  Lori has a wonderful tutorial for putting this card together which you can see here.  I used some of Lori's wonderful Echo Park Paper collections including Perfect Princess and All Girl.

Here is a photo of the materials to make the candy jar.  I painted the pot and the saucer.  I also painted the peg people head.  I stuck a cocktail straw through the holes and suspended the ball over a bathroom cup so that I could get to all sides of the ball.  I used hot glue to adhere the ball to the cover and the glass globe to the bottom of the pot.  I found that two coats of paint covered the pot well.  The best part was that when I was cutting out the parts for the Hexagon card I cut two of the parts that I wanted to put on my pot.  You can make and decorate these as gifts for any time of year using Lori's wonderful SVG files.

That's it for me today.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Explosion Box Birthday

 






Happy New Year Everyone.  Anita here with a post today of a lovely, fun, interactive card that I made for my mother for her birthday.  She loves purple and people are always so happy when I send them Lori's lovely interactive cards and boxes.  I'm going to write a note on each pocket tab for her.  You can find the Explosion Box Birthday Cake (2) in Lori's store, here and here in the Silhouette Design store.  Lori also has several of the explosion box tutorials which you can find here on her blog.  I used some fun Doodlebug Designs papers for my project as my mom loves purple.

Here is a photo of the box open with the top part of the cake closed.

Here is a photo of the box open with the top part of the cake open to reveal the treats inside.

That's it for me today.  Thank you for looking and have a great day.
