Creating cards with the Sweet Conversations bundle is quick, easy and so much fun! This bundle also coordinates perfectly with the Heart Punch Pack and Bouquet of Love 3D Embossing Folder. And the best part, it’s not just for Valentine’s Day.
Today’s project started because I needed a BIG batch of cards for my WOW Team. Each quarter, I mail out the WOW Bucks they have earned. They can then use their WOW Bucks to purchase current Stampin’ Up! products. Once I finished them, I took a second look at the Sweet Conversations bundle and decided to use the same layout, but kicked it up a notch.
The sentiment set I used is a fabulous Sale-a-Bration freebie. Check out the Special Moments set on page 14 of your Sale-a-Bration brochure. Because there are sentiments for lots of occasions, you’ll be reaching for this set time and again.
By embossing my Real Red mat with the new Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder, I was able to create lots of texture.
Because Stampin’ Up! products coordinate so beautifully, I used the Heart Punch Pack from the Annual Catalog to create my focal image.
Then to step it up, I used the sweet little heart dies. One of the best parts, about those dies, is that you can create your own heart confetti. Won’t that be an added surprise to stuff inside your card?
The Sweet Conversations bundle also coordinates with the new Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper. I didn’t use the DSP in this project, but stay tuned I’ve got some ideas to share.
With an assortment of hearts in all sizes and shapes, I was able to stamp the inside of the card. Look how cute my envelope flap turned out too.
Ready to create some sweet Valentine treats? I’ve got two for you today. One is perfect for classroom exchange. The second would be perfect for your mail carrier, UPS delivery person, hairdresser, cashier at your favorite store and so many more.
Let’s start things off with the lollipop treat holder. I purchased these at my local Dollar General. They are a super economical treat. You get 18 in a bag for $1.00. You can create four treat holders with one sheet of Real Red CS. Want a tip? Cut your card stock 7″ x 10″ then score it, on the 7″ side, at 3 3/8″ and 3 5/8″. Now that the sheet is all scored cut your 2 1/2″ strips that will create your treat holder. That’s the way to mass produce. Don’t worry all the details and complete supply list are listed below.
In today’s FREE video tutorial, I’ll teach you how to create that super cute heart scallop details with our Heart Punch Pack.
These sweet valentine treats were so easy to mass produce, I whipped out 10 in about 30 minutes. My daughter will be gifting these to the kiddos in her advisory group.
The Be My Valentine sentiment is from the Always in My Heart set. That’s the bundle I’m offering in my February WOW Class to GO! Don’t wait to check it out. The registration closes February 6, 2021.

Welcome! I’m sharing a fabulous valentine gift set with products from the Love You Always suite. Are you ready to get a head start creating your valentine cards and treats? We will be using a little old, a little new and lots of shine and sparkle.
Elisabeth, my granddaughter will be receiving this one from Nana. I love everything about this sweet Valentine gift set. The simplicity both the card and box allows you to crate multiples quick and easy. Don’t like to cut and score treat boxes? You don’t have to, Stampin’ Up! has already taken care of that for you. On page 11 of the new Jan-June Mini Catalog, you’ll find the Love You Always Treat Boxes.
My sweet girl likes things shiny and sparkly. I think this card fits the bill.
I love making my own custom embellishments. And that’s just what I did on this one. Because I used the dies in the Be Mine Stitched set to my advantage, I was able to step things up.
Be sure to check out the Annual Catalog as well. That’s where you will find the “A Grand Kid” set. If you have grandkids, this is the set for you.
These little boxes measure 4 1/16″ x 2 11/16″ x 1 1/2″. That’s a very generous size to fill with your kiddos favorite chocolates.
One of the best parts is that you don’t need any glue when constructing the box. It’s an interlocking design, so sturdy and easy to decorate.

Little Debbie is a great supplier of treats for every holiday season. Valentine’s Day is no exception. If you are on the hunt for the Strawberry Heart Cakes, search no more. I’ve got a link to their product site here.
Could the colors match any better? I’ve used Flirty Flamingo, Real Red and Whisper White for my color palette. My valentine slider box can be created with just one sheet of the Flirty Flamingo Cardstock.
Just slide the box from the wrap to reveal the treat. Because the From My Heart Suite contains so many coordinating projects, I decided to throw those in as well. Be sure to add the sweet doilies, faceted gems and ribbon to your order. You’ll thank me later.
