Valentine's Day Piggie Pillow Box

Hey Crafty Friends,

I hope you all are having a spectacular week!! Are you ready for the weekend?? Do you have big plans?? I really need to organize my craft desk this weekend. A messy crafter is a creative crafter right?!?! HaHa

Today, I want to show you a Valentine's Day Treat Pig treat box. For this treat box, I used Cutie Katoodles-Girl Piggie

 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

For my project, I wanted to use the girl piggy and thought it'd be cute to make a pillow box container with Hershey's Kisses inside. I got the idea from Pinterest, but I wanted a pillow box that you could see the treats inside. I found a file over on SVG Cutting files that was perfect because the cut out was in the shape of a heart. So, I thought that Hogs & Kisses would be the perfect sentiment for the pillow box, but I don't have a Hogs and Kisses stamp. So I just picked a font and welded it together and used my Cricut to write it out on a tag. Then I used my new Prismacolor Pencils to color in the sentiment. The pillow box turned out WAY bigger than I anticipated and almost fit a full bag of Hershey's kisses inside. HaHa

Valentine's Love Duck

Hello KaDoodle Bugs!!! DT Jana stopping by to share another quick Valentine's Day card I whipped up using the super adorable Cutie KaToodles Valentine Duck. Isn't he just the sweetest!?!?!

I started by uploading the CK Valentine Duck SVG file to Design Space, resized it accordingly and then cut out each piece using my Cricut Explore. 

I then inked up all my pieces using Tim Holtz Distress Inks (scattered straw, cracked pistachio, rusty hinge, picked raspberry and spun sugar). I then adhered them together using Art Glitter Glue. To finish off my "Love Duck" I added highlights using a White Gelly Roll Pen.

I created my card base using 110 lb. ReCollections Ivory cardstock cut down and scored to an A2 card size. I then chose my patterned paper for the card mat from ReCollections Valentine's Day 6x6 Paper Pad. I cut the mat down to 4" x 5.25" and decided to use my Fiskars "Lace" corner punch on it to add a little interest.

I then adhered my mat to the card base and adhered my Valentine Duck in the center. To finish off the card, I added three different sized matte sprinkles from the Doodlebug Designs Inc. Spring Assortment pack.

I hope you enjoyed today's creation! Thanks for stopping by!!
