Hershey’s Chocolate Nugget Valentine Mailbox

Hi friends!

Today I am going to show you how you can make this adorable little mailbox using a Hershey’s chocolate nugget bar just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Stampin' Up!

I used all Stampin’ Up! products to make this little mailbox.

You will need Red Rose card stock cut into a  3″ x 1 1/4″ piece and a piece of Love Blossoms DSP cut into a 3″ x 1″ piece.  Adhere the DSP to the top of the solid card stock and then wrap around the chocolate nugget.  Glue dots work perfectly for attaching the paper to the chocolate nugget.   Next, cut a piece of red rose card stock 1 3/4″ x 1 and round the corners on one end.  Glue this piece to the bottom of the nugget.  Next cut a piece of  1/8″ x 1 1/4″ of Red Rose card stock.  This will be the lever for your “heart” flag.  You will need to punch a tiny circle (I used the circle from the owl punch) out of Red Rose card stock also.  I then punched out two hearts (using the owl punch) in whisper white card stock.  Add all of these little pieces to the mailbox as shown in the picture above.

If you’d like to order any of the above items stop make some mailboxes, you can do so over at wdiem.stampinup.net.

Handmade Card for Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day card - Stampin' Up!

It’s time to get busy working on our special Valentine’s Day cards.  Do you exchange Valentine’s with your love bugs?  Here is a quick and simple card that I made this week.

This card uses the sentiment from the Bloomin’ Love set stamped in crumb cake ink and the background images are from the Awesomely Artistic set stamped in blushing bride ink.   I used blushing bride and whisper white card stock along with the Love Blossoms DSP.  The accessories that I used were the heart punch and the banner punch.  Bow is tied with the linen thread.

I have a lot more Valentine’s Day cards to make, so stay tuned.  I will share some more this week!  Happy crafting!
