Sweet Love Letters

I have been waiting a while to post this project.  Do you remember when we were in grade school and the teachers would let us make these boxes to put all of our Valentine's Day cards in, and we would get all these sweet little cards and treats from our friends? Well, with that in mind I have been on the hunt for these cute little mailboxes and I finally got them in!  My best friend lives in Texas so I had her raid all the Target's she could find.  She bought whatever she could get her hands on and sent them to me!  This is the first one I made.  This cute little monkey is from The Greeting Farm's Sweet Deal set.  Isn't he stinkin' cute?  I wrapped some Hershey's Nuggets in DP from My Minds Eye to fill it with.  The mailbox is metal and both of the doors open.  It measures about 5" x 3".  I'll be making much more since I have orders for them already so I'll post those pictures in a later post. 

Cupcake Gable Boxes

Remember those gable boxes from an earlier post?  Well, I down sized them a bit to make them the perfect size to hold cupcakes.  I included an insert to set the cupcake in so that they won't slide.  I used the cute little cupcake image from The Greeting Farm's Sweet Deal set.

Just a Little Eye Candy

              
         

It totally slipped my mind that my kids last day of school is today!  Well, they go on a three week intercession break so they won't be there on Valentine's Day.  My daughter reminded me lastnight and I realized that I had not finished all the gifts they wanted for their friends.  My sweet husband cooked dinner for me so I could get cracking on these gifts for them.  They both wanted me to make these Lollipop Along boxes so I thought I'd just share with you all of the different designs.  Enjoy!

Floral Lollipop Along

I just love these Lollipop Along holders as you will see in the next two posts (and one I did the other day!)  I wanted to do different versions of it to show how versitile it can be and also to show you that you can alter pretty much any template to make it your own.  I will be making more of these because my daughter wants to give them to her friends for Valentine's Day and I want to make each one of them different.  Make sure you scroll down because I have 3 posts today.  

Valentine's Crispy Cones

How about this treat to satisfy your sweet tooth!?  These are rice crispy treats made with strawberry marshmallows and candy sprinkles stuffed in an ice cream cone.  This holder was also inspired by Lauren's Lollipop Along template altered to the size I needed.  I just love how these came out!

Hello Kitty Valentine's Treat

I found these cute Hello Kitty candies the other day and just had to make a cute holder to present it in.  I made another one too but the pictures for that one came out pretty bad, so I'll post that another day.  Anyways, the holder was inspired by that Lollipop Along box by Lauren that I posted the other day.  I just adjusted the measurements to the size I needed.  This box measures about 2" x 6".

Sweet Gable Boxes

Okay, I just got my shipment of paper from DCWV and I just had to create something new.  This first box is made with Wild Butterflies, isn't it just adorable!  It isn't a new line, DCWV has had it for a while but I kept putting off ordering it.  After seeing how cute these papers were I wonder what took me so long!  Anyways, these gable boxes measure 5" long x 3" wide x 4 1/2" tall.

This second box is made with Sweet Lollipop Shop.  It's hard to see in this photo but most of the images on this paper have glitter on them!  How cute is that?  Anyhow, I wanted to do a Valentine's Day gift box that wasn't so traditional in color.  I love the colors pink and red but with all the sweet treats given out on Valentine's Day why not go with all these sweet pastel colors?

Well, I have lots more to show you but I still need to take more pictures so make sure you come back soon.  I'm hoping to post those tomorrow.  Ciao!
