Valentine's Day Box

I wanted to make something really special for my youngest daughter for Valentine's Day this year. It seems like she gets to see all the things I make as I am getting ready to mail them out to other people, so I think it is her turn. I made the box with my scor-pal and then used a Nestabilities die to cut the window out. I covered the window with clear acrylic and then used My Mind's Eye Love Me papers to decorate the top and bottom. I always make a test box with old paper I have on hand, gives me a chance to iron out all the kinks before using good, expensive paper. The hearts are felt that I cut out with the Heart Trio Cut Ups from The Cat's Pajamas. I added a few rhinestones for some extra sparkle.

 I used stamps from The Cat's Pajamas to decorate the candy bar wraps.

Two clear acrylic boxes I made. I filled them with her favorite candy...Dove and Reese's.

Valentine's Day Treats

 Even though my youngest daughter is in high school she still likes to give holiday gifts to a few of her favorite teachers. I decorated a couple of clear plastic paint cans with paper from My Mind's Eye Love Me collection. I added ribbon to the handle and then filled the containers with chocolate dipped pretzels.

This is a close up shot of the delicious treats. I have dipped pretzels quite a few times, but I saw these online (pinterest, I think, wish I could remember so I could give credit) and loved them. The sprinkles are so cute and by only dipping half the pretzel you have the bottom to hold without getting chocolate on your hands.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
