Stampin' Up Valentine Ideas!

We had a ton of fun at my Valentine Workshop yesterday. Here are the three Valentine Projects we made.
I have always used all of my unique ideas at my workshops but I have been so unbelievably busy with all of my clubs that I needed a little help. I used a conglomeration of many ideas that I got from several others, but added my own flair.


Valentine Candy Box- the edges have the new scalloped border
punch but you can't see it.
Inspired by Lynn

Treat Holder~ bad photo but these were so cute!
Inspired by Angie

I used the heart that we punched out on the Big Shot for the
window to use in the card below!
Inspired by Lisa
Thank you, Mary for helping with with directions!
