Pop-Up Posies Kit


I didn’t think I wanted this kit but after I saw Kimberly Van Diepen shadow box project I couldn’t resist. I took her idea and make 3 cards. We made this project at club this month and it was a big hit. What woman can resist a little fashion. 

This kit is very generous with the flowers and filters, I was able to make 12 of these cards from one kit. The additional items, tags, fabric brads and twine I used to create additional cards. This kit really goes a long way and has so many possibility.

Candy Heart Box

Surprise! There is chocolate candies inside. I picked these little candy heart box up at Target for $1 and gave it a little bling. It was quick and easy to dress up this Valentine; I also stamped a greeting inside. 

I'll be looking for candy boxes for Easter that can be dressed up as well.

Heart A Flutter

Heart Easel Card


Doesn’t this make your heart flutter? I love Easel Cards because they are 3 dimensional and really make a statement. What better way to show someone how much you love them on Valentine’s Day then with this beautiful Heart Easel Card. 

I gave this card to my Dad on Valentine’s Day since he was in the hospital. He is home now and is doing fine from carotid artery surgery.
