Valentine Candy Boxes

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are getting ready to start 2015 off with a bang!

Since I'm always running a bit behind I have vowed to be more timely with my art endeavors in 2015. Sooooo... I've already started making my valentines! Little heart shaped candy boxes with lots of flowers and glitter...

 (My secret for getting the chipboard heart to stand up is an 1/8 inch dowel cut into a two inch piece and glued to the the heart. Then you poke a hole in the lid of your box, push the dowel through and glue into place. Looks kinda icky with all of that glue so I will glue a flower or two over it.)

(You can't even see the dowel on the back because I hid it with flowers!)

My creepy relatives...

Aren't they just fabulous, these creepy cousins of mine?

There's Phaedra who's a bit of a clothes horse... just look at her hat and fur. She wouldn't be caught dead without them.

Cousin Theo is such a lady killer... even with his gold front tooth.

And who could forget Bubo, the brain of the bunch.

If you are looking to frame a few of your own creepy relatives, head on over to Alpha Stamps to view the complete list of supplies I used to whip these cuties up.
