Valentine's Nugget Boxes


I made these for my Bible study group and some of my friends. Each holds 4 Hershey's Nuggets. The verse was done on patterned dp on the computer. We are studying Isaiah so this was the best love verse for Valentine's Day.

Nugget Box Valentine with Scriptures


This is a nugget box I made for my High school Bible drillers. I am thinking of taking some to the nursing home, too. Here is a link to the nugget box pattern. I punched a hole in the round tag. Then, I wrapped the ribbon around the box and secured it with a little glue. Next, I pulled both ends of the ribbon through the hole and tied the bow. You don't need a knot first because the tag holds it together.

Stamps: PSX heart
Paper: Real Red, dp from Joanns, white, Pink Pirouette
Ink: Memento Black
Accessories: Ribbon, Nesties, Copics, Hershey's nuggets

Embossing Arts Butterfly Birthday Card


I made this card for the #43 Copic Creations Challenge. You are supposed to use cool colors so I used mostly blues and cool grey. I tried a dot background for the first time. I also sponged over the dots with grey and blues and a little amethyst.

Bee Knees Valentine

Today's card is another Valentine using Copic markers. The sentiment is a computer font and the ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. You can join their monthy ribbon club. It is so much fun getting that surprise package in the mail. Monthly ribbon club assortments are selected and pre-packed to reflect a specific theme, color, or holiday season. The assortments vary from month to month, but an average assortment has 5-8 different ribbon styles and consists of 10-15 yards of ribbon.
