With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I wanted to make some little gifts for a few friends. I don't get a lot of personal scrappy time, so I needed to make pieces that I could make multiples of while still making each one different and personal.
I took inspiration from a couple of artists for these little treasures:
The little envelope boxes were taken from a gift that was sent to me by Phyllis Fernandez ( Scrapbooking By Phyllis ). The one Phyllis sent me had been made with a die cut and did not have a bottom to hold gifts. I actually drew my own out and created it from the idea of hers.
I love Kathy Clement (Kathy By Design) and she creates projects around her (and also my) love of tea, so I chose to make them little pockets with tea bags and little heart tea spoons tucked into the pockets.
Beautiful Board Lacy Hearts Chipboard With Corrugated Base.
The large one that is tucked into the box is the large one from the set. I softly painted the raised part of the corrugated board with ivory paint, topped it with the Beautiful Board Piece and then added a Printed Beautiful Board Romance And Roses Tuck In onto the corner.
The small one has a paper piece that I stamped a love and floral image onto behind it. I then cut a rose piece from another Printed Beautiful Board Romance And Roses Tuck In and added that to the chipboard topper and topped that with a Tiny Treasures Sweet Nothings Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies
Here you can see the little pieces that are tucked into the box. They include:
*A Chocolate Truffle tea bag wrapped in tissue paper, tied with twine and topped with a
Shabby Heart Bit that was stamped with You and topped with a piece of bling.
*A little envelope with a note card and 3 Tiny note cards cut from the papers.
*A little silver heart shaped spoon with a lace and Shabby Heart Bit accent.
Sheer Romance Lace White.
Beautiful Board Follow Your Heart Chipboard With Corrugated Base.
The large one that is tucked into the box is the large one from the set. I softly painted the raised part of the corrugated board with ivory paint, topped it with the Beautiful Board Piece and then added a Printed Beautiful Board Romance And Roses Tuck In onto the corner.
The small one is just the heart piece minus the corrugated board. ( I will save this for another project in the future). I then cut a rose piece from another Printed Beautiful Board Romance And Roses Tuck In and added that to the chipboard topper and topped that with a Tiny Treasures Snow White Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies.
Thank you so much for joining me for a walk through of my Sweet Little Love Notes Pocket Envelopes. I hope you find the time to create something special for some of your friends and loved ones for Valentine's Day. This world sure could use a little more love and especially something that was made with love from our own hands. Hugs ~ Renea
