Sweet Valentine Treats
by Jean Okimoto

Chocolates are an essential part of Valentine’s Day – let Memory Box diecuts add some creativity and color to the celebration.  My treat totes are usually quick and easy – these have more details to make them extra-special.  Hi, Jean here with designs  featuring the new Bird Blossoms die set and the Birthday Chic Clear Stamps and Die Set.

Cut Raspberry Sorbet and light Kraft cardstock with the second-largest Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangles die.  Score and crease  them at 3-7/8″ and 4-1/8″.  

Cut the peach/tan/gold Gladiola Plaid 6×6 with the second-largest Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die.  Cut the orange/gold Glitzy Glitter Pad 6×6 with the second-smallest Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die.  Cut the 9 main flower sections of the new Bird Blossoms set from the light coral Blush Collection 6×6.  Stamp the “love” portion of the “birthday love” greeting from the Birthday Chic stamp set on same 6×6 with Tulip Red VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Attach the diecuts to the folded rectangle.  Attach the chocolates with double-stick tape.  Tie the wrappers with gold cord (about 14″).  Curl the cord with the side of a bonefolder or the plastic burnishing tool – follow the curve of the cord for best results.

Attach adhesive label paper (or a sticker sheet) to pale aqua felt and diecut the main section of the Bird Blossoms bird.  Cut the wing and beak/head section  from a dark turquoise 6×6 in the Lagoon Collection.  Color the beak and eye areas with a dark brown or black marker.  Stamp the greeting from the Birthday Chic set on Cherry Red cardstock with Nocturne VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Cut it with the second-largest Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die.  Attach the diecuts and chocolate, tie and curl the cord.  Punch and attach  three 1/4″ circles from the red Glitzy Glitter Pad 6×6.
