Chocolate-Filled Hearts for Valentine
Posted on | February 11, 2009 | 1 Comment
Found this cool idea for a candy-filled heart-shaped container and thought it would be a lovely surprise for my girls on Valentine’s Day. They were out the whole day today so I did a “dry run”.
 |
I made four containers using 12×12 papers for each container. I attached some ribbons, hung them on the doorway of their room, and filled them up with yummy chocolate. We already have four hooks set up on the top frame from a previous project – so it’s perfect.
Well, after I took a picture, I removed all of them and hid them – I’ll be hanging them again Friday night to give them a sweet surprise on Saturday.
Pop-up Flower Cards for Valentine’s

Created two pop-up cards to give to Mica and Rinoa on Valentine’s Day.

FLOWER BASKET POP-UP CARD
 |
| The actual flower basket that pops up in the card is made up of 12 pieces. I cut the pieces from white cardstock using an x-acto knife. |
 |
| Then I gave the flowers and leaves some color using brush pens. |
 |
| This is what the inside of the card looks like. The flower basket is attached to the card on two points with a thread that you wouldn’t really notice. |
 |
| The outside of the card has a simple design so it wouldn’t compete with the intricacy of the flower basket. |

CHERRY BLOSSOMS POP-UP CARD
 |
| This card is simpler than the first one. The design is cut-out from the actual folding card. |
 |
| I used brush pens and rub-ons to color the branches and flowers. The metallic rub-on gave the flowers a subtle, glittery shine. I used a Sharpie to give the branches some shadow. |
 |
| Like the first card, the outside of this card has a simple design so as not to overpower the pop-up inside. |
