Challenge #23 Anything Goes

After the holidays and the theme for this challenge is Anything Goes so I chose to create a Explosion Box from a svg cut file from Platypus Creek Digitals.com which was easy to cut.  I cut the main body out of white poster board I purchased at a dollar store...it's 11x14 in size, so really do not need to trim it to fit the cutting mat...I let it hang over the bottom edge when cutting..

My picture is not the best and apologize for this but it was the time of day and taking a picture in the kitchen, at least today, did not work out too well.

 

Box put together and have a small ribbon attached to it to carry the box.  Rather than glue the flaps on the lid together, I punched a small hole and inserted brads.  Did glue the designer paper to the poster board....

 

This is the inside of the Explosion box...I used washi tape to accent the flaps and other two sides I added mats.  The center is a flower from a card kit.  The Butterfly is also from the same card kit and I used gems down the center of the Butterfly and popped it up with foam tape.

Thank you for stopping by, and hugs to all.

Valentine's Day - Not a Card

Glass Etching

 

 First one is a glass etching using your hearts that I joined together  ... I was into creating candles this  year, and etched a double heart onto opposite corners.

Hanging Heart Box

 

 Next one is a Heart Shaped Hanging Heart for treats...I used the heart file from Creative Pointe on the front of this Heart Box and placed a pink button in the center of the heart.  The pattern for the heart box is a design by © Juliet Mascarenhas..

Another Heart Shape Box

 

The next Heart shaped box is...a little different.  I thought it was going to be a square box with a heart closure but turned out to be something similar to the Heart Shaped Hanging Heart....I cut out the Valentine shape, resizing each heart to layer. Once again I used the same file from Creative Pointe

 

This shows both boxes side-by-side. 

Lollipop Cover

 

Front view.

 

Back view.

 Now last but not least, this is a Lollipop cover...a small covering in the shape of a heart with a heart shape on the front and back that can be included with Valentine Cards for school Valentine parties or for your little ones.This could also be used as topper for a Valentine's Cupcake for school treats. I added a bit of adhesive to the paper around the lollipop and attached to the cover. 

Thank you for stopping by visit with me today, and hugs to all.

PP-LB Heart

 

A Little Birdie SVG Cutting File set

 available at svgcuttingfiles.com

I used a pre-cut card base and with striped design paper I create this Little Birdie with a string holding a heart.  I took the hearts and added to each corner of the card.  On two of the hearts I placed a small gem stone, as well as three in one corner of the mat.  

The stamped image is a item I received as a gift from a consultant of Close to My Heart.

Thank you for stopping by and hugs and Happy New Year to all.
