Gift set.....

Hello Everyone!!!

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!!!

Today its my first post as  ABC Toys and Crafts  DT member ...

As our next big celebration is Valentines Day..today I have a mini valentine's card gift set to share with you all.  A cute box filled with simple 3" x 3" cards with matching envelopes .

I used Hero Arts Cling stamp set ~Hearts TrioCG160 and Martha Stewart ~Valentine Lace Border punch...they work perfectly together. I punched the lower end of 3"x 3" card....sponged with Distress ink ..then stamped  with the floral heart stamp and a sweet sentiment and few mini  hearts with gems..CAS ...great for mass production like for classmates,teachers etc.

 I want to give it to my friend as a gift so I made a box for it . You can find the tutorial HERE.

I used the same Hearts stamp and heat embossed on the all four sides of the box...its so pretty! love the fine details of the stamp. Layered the scalloped circle ,circle and trimmed out Heart stamped image with  EK Success 3D-Dots for the box topper...added a sentiment from Hero Arts~ Trees Birds message CL182.

The entire project is made out of a stampset, cardstocks, a border punch and gemstones...

SO what are those teeeny tiny hearts????

Okay!!! I'll give out my secret now..lol....the tiny hearts are the leftovers from the punched borders...thats how you get more for your bucks. So you get a very pretty border and from the leftovers you can make the perfect embellishment....I just added few clear rhinestones for sparkle. This year its my favorite heart embellishment.You can also use the punched border as stencil ..
