Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day people!  Just wanted to share some Valentine's Treat Box Cards that I made.  I made 8 of these treat box cards for the secretaries at my hubby's office and for my son's teachers.  You can find the tutorial on these boxes on Splitcoaststampers {HERE}, but I changed the dimensions on my box cards. 


Four Heart shaped Nestle Crunch was added to the box.   


Here's the tag . . . I used my Tag Sale #3 from PTI (my hubby and my son wrote a message on the back of the tag).  The sentiment is from Paper Pretties Sealed With a Kiss set.  And again, I'm using the Bo Bunny's Crazy Love Fudge and Flowers paper.  You are probably sick of seeing me use this paper, but I just luv the color combo and I bought so much of it that I want to use it up.  I'm gonna have to bore you again with another project using this same DP.  Sorry.  :)


Oh remember I had an addiction for dyeing seam binding?  Check this out . . .

I told myself I wouldn't go there and try dyeing seam binding, but my urges were too strong.  Here is a batch using Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, and Walnut Stain Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  The Walnut Stain came out gross -- I didn't wipe my work area good enough so some of the Black Soot Ink got into the dyeing process.


This is a batch using Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, Fire Brick, and Black Soot.


And lastly, this colorful batch is Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Shabby Shutters, Milled Lavender and Tumbled Glass.  There are many tutorials out there especially on YouTube on how to dye seam binding.   So there you have it!


 Well, thanks for stoppin' in.  Wishing you a luv-ly {HEART} Day!
