I am just having so much fun with this HAPPY HEART DAY stamp set .. You really must get it before Love day is over with and this Month there is a AWESOME SPECIAL going on so there is no time like today to make this set yours ... For my Sweet Tart candy holder I used Pixie pink and Green Galore card stock and SU! markers also with WHITE TAFFETA RIBBON
Oh my when I was making this I had a Light bulb moment it may be old news to you BUT I never tried it SOOO when I made this I was going to use Velcro to seal it shut this little goodie BUT here comes the light bulb moment .. I used the Taffeta Ribbon to secure the flap shut .. How stinkin cute is that ? Brillant I say I just tucked the bottom flap under the ribbon from the inside of the top flap .. I am sooo excited I can share this with you all since I know you would truely appreciate my light bulb moment Hee! Hee! I also used the SLIT punch for the center section to hold the little bag of valentines day sweet tarts .. I have so many cute things to share with you using this Super cute set .. OK Onto the measurements Cause I know your wondering right ? I would have done a video Tutorial But it really is so Cute I couldn't wait to do the video so here are the measurement in written form ..
Cardstock 8 1/2 X 4"
Score at 3" and at 6 1/4
thats it .. Pretty simple HUH? Such a sweet little gift .. I am going to making these for all the people I visit between Now and V-Day ( bank , Post office , Store ,Gas station ) Of course with my business card inside .. How cute HUH? My daughter wants these also for her Class for Valentines day .. OH man I better get busy cause It looks like I have 2 goodies now for her class ( the other one will be shared very soon ) I guess this is what happens when I 'm having to much FUN stampin for Valentines day.
Have a Great day
Until tomorrow ... Happy Stampin!!

I sure am glad someone's light bulb turns on....I think mine is burnt out! LOL. Thanks Dawn, great idea!

ok, so i finally had time to watch the video! OMG! The light bulb moment for me is seeing the slit punch lined up under the candy for a perfect fit! Who would have thought that's how it's done?

I teach 2nd grade and was trying to decide what to do for my kids for Valentine's Day and when I saw this I knew it was perfect! My teaching partner (who is a SU! demonstrator, lucky me!) and I just spent a good portion of the day making these for our kids (we don't have school on Fridays)! We LOVED them! We used the "Wild About You" stamp set. Thanks so much for the tutorial! You are such an inspiration! :D

Dawn,
I was wondering if you had the directions somewhere other then on youtube? When I scrap/stamp, I don't aways have access to a computer. I like to be able to print out the instructions and sit and play. Would love them, if you have them.
Thank you,
