Valentine Hostess Treat

Hostess Thanks.0213Yes, Valentines Day is next week.   Are you ready?   I have a class/workshop tonight and this is my gift for the hostess.  She and seven friends are excited to make some cards!  Woo Hoo!

I made the little treat holder with the Fancy Favor Die for the Big Shot using the Real Red Core’dinations Card Stock.  I like the Core’dinations Card Stock even when you don’t emboss it to get the weathered look although I do miss Stampin’ Up!’s textured card stock.  It was perfect when you just neeeded that little something extra on your project!

To get the little border of designer paper to line up perfectly with the box I used a little bit of temporary adhesive and stuck the edges of the designer paper and Core’dinations card stock together BEFORE I ran them through the Big Shot.  Then I separated them, moved the designer paper up a bit and adhered them together with Sticky Strip.  It adds that little something extra to the box.

The hearts on the box are from my favorite:  Hearts a Flutter and die cut with the coordinating Framelits.  Add a bag of Hershey Kisses and you have a cute valentine treat!  😀

Wish me luck tonight!  Have a great day and Happy Stamping!  What are you making for your Valentine?  Let me know!
