The Valentine Box and Booklet MADE by my husband!

So Cool!  My Husband MADE me a Valentine!

I just had to share with all of you what my husband made at the "Manly Valentine" class that he attended at my upline, Jen Krieger's, class.  It was so wonderful that she offered this class. 

If you know my husband, he really does NOT like "crafty" projects and will proclaim to just about anyone that he doesn't have a crafty bone in his body.  Well, I personally think he did a great job!  If you think so, I encourage you to leave a comment on my blog telling him he did a great job.

The fact that he made the effort and went outside his comfort zone to create these two valentines, is absolutely endearing and makes my heart just flutter.  The projects use mostly Stampin' Up! products but I'm not certain where he got the cupcakes frome that are on the box.  I'm pretty certain the "ticket" on the front of the booklet was printed on cardstock, cut out then the ticket punch was used to make it look like a ticket.

So...  Here are the two valentine projects that he made:

 

BOX:  Real Red 12x12 Cardstock

COVER:  Sending Love Designer Series Paper

BOOKLET:  Real Red Cardstock

ACCENT:  Sending Love Designer Series Paper

RIBBON:  Real Red Satin Ribbon

BORDER:  Pinking Hearts Border

BINDING:  Embossed with Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1

INSIDE:  Glassine Rectangle Envelopes

Inside each Glassine envelope, my husband pasted various love poems from various authors then included scripture from the bible.  The booklet is his favorite and definitely from the heart based on the research he did to find some classical love poetry.  I do have to say that I did enjoy opening the cupcake box and finding some beautiful non-edible gifts.

Medallion Background Valentine Card

A Medallion Valentine!

Oh, how I'm having fun making Valentine Cards!  I've enjoyed creating using Real Red Cardstock, Basic Black Cardstock and Whisper White Cardstock for elegant, beautiful cards.  The following card uses the Medallion Background stamp which you can purchase through my Stampin' Up! Store by clicking HERE!

The Medallion Background stamp is very versatile and works great on so many different levels.  This past Tuesday, I had an embossing class and we used the Medallion Background Stamp.  Using Versamark, we inked up the stamp then stamped the image on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock.  We then sprinkled BLACK embossing powder over the image and using a Heat Gun, melted the embossing powder to create this beautifully embossed image.

In addition, we had to use the Scallop Trim Punch from the new Sale-A-Bration brochure.  Then I had to use the Real Red Sending Love Epoxy Brads from the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog.

The following Stampin' Up! products were used as the recipe for the Medallion Valentine:

Cardstock:  Real Red, Whisper White and Basic Black
Embellishments:  Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Organza Ribbon, Real Red Sending Love Epoxy Brad
Punches:  Scallop Trim Border (Sale-A-Bration 2010)

I hope you enjoy!
