Valentine’s Bucket of Love

February 7, 2014

Happy Friday. I’ve got a fun little Valentine’s craft for you today.

My sweetie loves to snack and his snack of choice is anything in the NUT family. My friend Robyne knows his obsession because anytime she makes a batch of her delicious cookies for us she has to make some special for the Mr. with nuts in them.

This year one of the gifts I’ll be giving my guy of 22 years is a handcrafted Bucket of Love, filled with nuts!

This was a super easy and quick project and would work as a great Valentine’s gift container for anyone on your love list.

Supplies:

Metal container with lid (available from craft store or Container Store)

Valentine rubber stamp set from CraffitiDirect

ABC rubber stamp set from CraffitiDirect

Textured white wrapping paper

Paper Ribbon (available from PaperJacks)

Mini playing cards (purchased at Michael’s)

Paper Heart (made with paper punch)

Gilltered arrow (available at craft stores)

Wrap white gift wrap around base of metal container

Layer red and white paper ribbon on top of gift wrap

Stamp the word LOVE onto white cardstock, cut out and layer on the back side of mini playing cards

Use foam tape to attaché LOVE cards on top of the paper ribbon

Add playing cards and paper heart

For the lid of the bucket create a roulette wheel and use the Valentine stamp set to stamp different love messages in each space

***the roulette wheel was created by making a pie graph in Power Point and printing it out

Add a glitter arrow to the center of the wheel using a brad

Mount the roulette wheel on red paper and use foam tape to attach the piece to the lid

Fill the bucket with LOVE and a special treat for that special person!

Valentine’s Day is just a week away, what are you doing for the one you LOVE?

Eat, Drink and Be Merry Gift Bag

December 6, 2013

It’s the holiday season and that means gift giving time. One of my go-to gift wrapping supplies during the busy holiday season is gift bags. I usually don’t but the pre-decorated bags but instead opt to decorate my own to create something unique and special for my family or friends.

Gift bags + Craffiti Direct Stamps = Stylish Holiday Gift Packaging

To create this gift bag I started with a simply brown Kraft bag. I love the look of Kraft paper with traditional Christmas colors.

I then used my circle cutter to cut 4″ dia circles from red tartan plaid paper and white card stock.

Next I used one of the Yes Chef stamps designed by Jennifer Garant and stamped the chef on wheels in the center of my white cardstock circle. I then added some color to the design using Prima Markers and hand scripted the Eat, Drink and Be Merry message along the bottom. A classic red and white diamond print ribbon finishes off the circle.

The last step was layering the plaid and stamped circles onto the front of the gift bag and adding a red pom-pom as my bow.

This fun gift bag is being filled with libations and treats and I know the person receiving this will definitely Eat, Drink & Be Merry!

If you’re doing any holiday crafting this season, check of the full line of Craffiti Direct Stamps. There are so many wonderful designs to choose from and right now they are running a 25% off sale on all stamps.

I’m using one of these stamps to make some of my holiday gift tags and this stamp to make some New Years party invites. I’ll share those projects with you next week.

Happy Holiday Crafting!
