Valentine's Day Hogs & Kisses



Hi Everyone!
It's time for our new challenge at Simply Create Too. Our theme this time is one of my faves!  That's right what can be sweeter than Valentine's or Hearts?  Well, adding chocolate to the mix of course!

I made these cute little Milk Crates with Chocolate filled Milk cartons.   Yum Yum!... well yummy for everyone that gets one...lol.  


I made the four crate sets in various sizes.  They were so much fun to make. You can find all kinds of Tutorials on You Tube and Split Coast Stampers.  


There are a lot of tutorials out there, just find the one you like.  I looked at several, combined what I liked and added some of my own alterations and measurements.  Who thought that math would be so useful in creating..


Everything I used came from my Stash, including this cute little SU Stamp.  My Cuttlebug, some die cuts and embossing folders got a workout.


I made this double crate out using this cute little Valentine Grumpy from Smeared Ink.  



This batch will go to family and friends.  I am making just single Milk Cartons for my clients.  I am debating if I shouldn't buy the Milk Carton Die.  I do so like sizing them to suit...what to do...


I will be entering all these yummy treats into the following challenges:

Hope to see you all join in the fun at Simply Create Too!



Thanks for stopping by, hugz
