Social media is ruining birthdays!  Do you agree?  How many of you send birthday cards in the mail anymore?  I don’t know about you, but I love to send and receive mail (happy mail that is)!

Well, Shannon West, an employee at Stampin’ Up! started something and it’s catching on like wildfire!  She is challenging us to make 2016 the year that we start sending birthday cards in the mail again.  I’d love it if you all could join me and send some happy mail yourself!

If you would like to personally receive a birthday card in the mail from me, email me at scrappybags@verizon.net with your name, address and birth date (excluding the year)  and I will be happy to share the love.

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.
