Valentine Bouquet

A sweet treat for a special someone, a little bit of filler and a lot of chocolates! I used the new Big Shot Fun Flowers Sizzix die to create the lollipop flowers in Cherry Cobbler, Riding Hood Red, and Pink Pirouette. A heart treat cup filled with M&M's and the Stampin' Up set Sweetheart. Designer paper is SU also, not sure of name or date since it was loose and in a pile. Hope you can join our Three Amigas challenge to make a valentine treat for someone in your life. We could all use a bit of chocolate to get through the dreary winter days :)

Sweet Treats Hearts

This is the heart treat cup and stamp set Sweetheart available now through Stampin' Up. I made a little tab that pulls up and opens a little window behind the treat through all layers and front of cardstock with a circle punch (original idea is from LeeAnn Greff). Filled with pearls for now until I can score some pastel colored candy. I used the retired Cool Caribbean because I love it so much and paired it with Regal Rose and Whisper White. The card was stamped with the heart stamp from the Sprinkles set (a SAB choice) and embossed in white, Regal Rose grosgrain ribbon added to side.

Sweetheart & Love Bandit

The first card uses the new Occasions set Sweetheart along with the new heart treat cups. I had to cut out the heart sentiment shape and attach it on top of the treat cup since you won't be able to use the heart punch if you stamp the stem, it's just not designed that way. Which is a bummer if you are looking to save time.
Colors were inspired by the Sweet Tarts hearts: Apricot, Pretty In Pink, Sage Shadow.
I stamped the Filigree in matching ink on the Apricot cardstock and then embossed the dots in white. Pillow Box Big Shot die was made to match with some apricot grosgrain ribbon.

The second card is a tri-fold 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". Score at 2 3/4" x 5 1/2". Fold card and then trim off the tiny excess overlap so all edges are even.
Stamp front as desired. On first panel punch a 1 3/8" square at top, on second panel punch a 1 1/4" square (centered under first panel's square. This will create your window. the third panel I made white and stamped the raccoon directly in the center of the window. I used my stamp-a-majig so I didn't ruin the whole card at this point by winging the placement.
