Valentine's Day is a time for sharing love, affection and friendship with family and friends. To mark this annual holiday, I've created these five Valentine mail boxes using the Baker's Box Thinlits Dies and Sending Love Product Suite. These were inspired by the boxes pictured on page 14 of the Occasions Catalogue...
Bundles: Sealed with Love Stamp Set + Love Notes Framelits Dies (photopolymer: 144705), Thoughtful Banners Stamp Set + Duet Banner Punch (photopolymer: 142330). Stamps: Labeler Alphabet (photopolymer: 141936). Ink: Pool Party (126982), Bermuda Bay (131171), Bermuda Bay Stampin' Write Marker (Brights: 131259). Card/Paper: Pool Party (142391), Real Red (106578), Whisper White (106549), Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack (142733). Accessories: Metallic Enamel Shapes (141678), Mini Paper Clips (142766), Sending Love Embellishments (142735). Tools: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (143263), Magnetic Platform (130658), Baker's Box Thinlits Dies (138279), Fine-Tip Glue Pen (138309), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).
For the flags on the front, I wanted a bold "Sending Love" statement to go with the postal box theme. To accomplish that, I inked only the "Love" from "Hello Love" in the Sealed with Love stamp set using the Bermuda Bay Stampin' Write Marker and stamped it on the flag. I then did the same with the "Sending" from the small "Sending Love" stamp from the same set.
The top of each Baker's Box is secured using a silver Mini Paper Clip. I've used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen and Silicone Craft Sheet to adhere the smallest wooden heart from the Sending Love Embellishments onto the top of the paper clip. Too cute!
So, what am I going to do with these five boxes? Well, if you've been following my website over the years, you will know that our family's tradition is to share our love with each other on Valentine's Day (parents and kids, not just couples). So today, we are each writing a message of love to the other four family members and will "post" them into the appropriate mail boxes. Then we will get together over a meal, open them and read out the little notes of love we shared.
The little envelopes from the Love Notes Framelits Dies are perfect for delivering our messages of love to each other on Valentine's Day.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
Wishing you a wonderful day shared with those you love.
