*Be Mine* Valentines card and Heart Box

Quick and easy and super elegant!!  I never really make cards, not my thing, I go to the stores and buy mine!  But when it comes to valentines day I do love to put more effort and love into my gift.

These are super easy to do, really they are!!  I have simply used some Krafty and some Maybe Baby.  I made some super duper adorable spiral roses as the feature of my card and box.  If you haven't played with making some of these yet, YOU SHOULD!  Here is a tutorial to show you how easy it is ;) Instead of cutting with a normal sissors I just use my scallop scissors and cut away to create the scallop edge, but I do adore the normal spiral roses too, very pretty!!

 

I sometimes pop a pearl or bit of bling in the centre.  You can also ink up the edges before rolling or even use a soft smear of white paint!  All very pretty :)

The gorgeous heart box comes from an online template which you can find here from Splitcoast Stampers.  This is an open heart box, and just absolutely perfect to pop in a gift voucher, some chocolates or something more special like jewelry etc.

What more do you really need?  Okay guess a bottle of champers, some candles and a gorgeous yummo dinner and some quiet time together would be good too!!!

Look out for more lovey dovey ideas from the Trunk team!!
