Valentine Tote Box

Valentine's can be an exciting time for anyone, no matter their age.

Tracy from Idea Closet and today is my turn at the SVG Attic blog.  I thought it would be fun to make a Valentine's box for holding all your Valentine treasures.

For my project I used the Large Decorated Tote Gable Box.

This box was originally designed for Halloween and used Graphic 45 paper, however, I changed it up a bit and used paper from Photo Play to make a perfect Valentine's day box.

There is so much fun happening with this tote.

 

My favorite part of the box is the big 3D bow!

For the front of the box, I added a journal block, a tag with stickers from the collection and a bottle pop embellishment with paper from the kit; all tied with matching red twine.

To finish the box; on the back side I cut out a slot for cards to fit in.

Now it can be used at school or  home as a "mail box".

The Large Tote could be used in so many ways besides just Halloween!

Thank you for joining me today and I hope you  find time to create something beautiful this week.

Apollo Rocket of Love

I-Team member Sonja here with an extra special take on the 3D rocket from the 'Outta this World' file. 

Originally I started out making this for my husband for Valentine's day. However, since I told him I didn't want anything, he told me if I made him anything he would throw it away. Mainly I think he was at a loss. If I surprised him with something, he thought he would be in trouble. He did not, however, say anything about our anniversary!

 The 'Apollo Rocket of Love' sentiment comes from one of his favorite TV shows and was the inspiration for the entire project. 

For the card:

For the card, I embossed the wings with a heart sleeve and the bottom with a swirly sleeve. The center of both rockets (star foil) is from Rinea Foil.

I decided to add brads and a frame around the two windows just for added texture, as well as pop up tabs for the hearts. 

Rocket: 

And here is the main event....

 This rocket is spectacular in any color, but for some reason gold came to mind. I am happy that I decided to do the Rinea Foil in the middle of each rocket to help break up and add texture to the gold. The brads just make it look even better!

The entire rocket is gold with accents of gold brads. I wanted to put gold candies inside, but I ran out of time. 

When he finally remembered it was our anniversary, I gave it to him. He gently placed it in the garbage can as a joke (twice), but he loves it I think. Stubborn man is worse than a mule!

Mon Amour - with Cyndy G

Hello crafters today I am sharing some more Valentine projects with you.  I made the Rose Bouquet box card from JGW Flower Boxcard Bouquet.  I think these flower box cards are beautiful!

I also made the Flip top heart box from SVG Heart Shaped Box kit.  This little box goes together so quickly.  I think it would be the perfect project to do with your children.  You could make this a small size and make them for the classroom, they are that easy to make!

I used the beautiful Mon Amour paper from Graphic 45.  

I love the way I got the paper to line up on my box card!  

I really had fun making these projects.  I hope you will share some of your projects with us.

Do what inspires you,

Cyndy G
