A Few More Valentine Treats!!

Here's a couple more treats I made for the kiddies for Valentine's day. It's another Stampin Up! Big shot (You really need one of these!) die, the Mini Milk Carton. Cut out 4 of them, decorated them simply because they are so stinking cute, they don't need much embellishing, and filled with jelly beans (pink, white and red of course!) Also used the Modern label punch from Stampin Up! and the Scalloped edge punch for decorating.

Huge sale going on over at Stampin Up! so go on over to my website (top right corner of my blog for the link) and check it out! Who doesn't like free stuff!!?? For every $60 purchase you make, you get a FREE ITEM from the SALEABRATION catalog, how cool is that!! You can even order directly online through my website.

I used a bit of a cheaper patterned paper, and you can see the white core of the paper coming through where I had to fold. Note to self, remember not to buy the cheaper stuff anymore!!

Valentine Treat Boxes

Here's a cute little box I cut out with my BIg SHOT (you HAVE to get one of these!!) and the BOX #2 die cut from Stampin Up! This box is just so stinking cute, and has endless possibilities!

Valentine Treat

Hi there, how's everyone's Valentine shopping going? I try to give a little something to lots of people on Valentine's day, so I start early! Nothing big, just little something sweet and usually a little handmade gift.

This is going to be for the secretary at our school. She's such a wonderful lady, and she just loves all the kids at the school. It's made from 2 cups (I purchased a pkg of them at walmart!) that I decorated with patterned paper, then made this cute little holder for them. I decorated the holder with hearts, stamps, a scallop border and some ribbon. I got the idea for this from Becky Roberts blog at christmas time, and have used it several times already. It's really quite fun to do! I'm gonna fill the cups with little sweets, chocolates etc.

Hope she likes it!

P.S. If you search Becky's blog, she is an amazingly talented lady, and you can find awesome ideas on her site, and she gives lots of instructions too!

If you haven't had a chance yet, don't forget to hop on over to my STAMPIN UP! site (link on the top right of my blog) we have a fabulous sale going on right now you don't want to miss!!!

Valentine for the Hubby

I'm seeing cupcakes everywhere these days, they seem to be the hottest thing right now, so I decided to try one on a card for my hubby for Valentine's day. I used 2 different cartridges for the cupcake because I liked the top of one, and the bottom of another. I used my Stampin UP! crimper to crimp the cupcake wrapper, and give a nice texture and feel. Stamped Wonderful and husband, tied a ribbon on it and voila, it's all done.

I can't wait for my cupcake punch to arrive from Stampin Up! It's not as big as this cupcake but I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of it!

If you haven't had a chance, pop on over to my Stampin UP! website www.MelissaAzzopardi.stampinup.net and check out the fabulouse SALEABRATION going on now. Look under Promotions, and when you're ready you can order directly online, under the PRODUCTS tab!!!

Two Valentine Cards to Share with You!

Hi There,

Just wanted to quickly share a couple of new cards that I listed in my Etsy Shop. I'm so happy with how they turned out! I'm also happy that I ordered several packs of this patterned paper last year from Stampin Up! as I am so into these colours right now! I love the rich red, pink and brown all together!

My photos are off a bit, not very clear, but they were the quickest way I could get photos done! Not my favorite part of blogging and listing in my shop is taking the darn photos and uploading them!

All supplies are from Stampin Up!

If you haven't had a chance, head on over to my Stampin UP! website. There is a fantastic sale going on right now..........Stampin Up! biggest sale of the year....SALEABRATION. For every $60 you spend, you get to choose a FREE item from the Saleabration catalog!! Who doesn't like free stuff right!!?? The link to my site is on the top right side of my blog, so go check it out!

My Valentine Wreath

Hi Everyone, how are you all doing? I'm much better today, not in a bah humbug mood anymore! I'm at home with access to my computer and photos so all is good in my world! LOL!! oh and I did receive that package from Stampin Up! so as soon as I am finished here, I'm off to make more goodies!

So today I'm gonna quickly share my Valentine wreath with you. I cut all the hearts with my Cricut (George cartidge) and used lots of different patterned Valentine paper. It took me awhile to get this done as it was a bit harder to stick the first few hearts onto the wreath than I thought, but once I managed that it was just a matter of layering!

So what do you think, kinda cute eh?

I'll be back with some more fun stuff to share! And by the way, am I not being so good so far this year? I'm actually blogging and updating on a regular basis, that's pretty big for me!

Thanks again for visiting, and you're welcome to leave any comments, I love reading them!
