Dear Creatives, I decided to do a little paper-crafting for Valentines Day. Before you know it February will be upon us. This project is pretty easy. What I love is embellishing, it is the icing on the cake when paper-crafting, card making & doing scrap-book pages. With limited supplies you can create some pretty cute Valentine boxes & mail boxes. These are fun & pretty easy paper-crafting projects.

I have been decorating some left over favor boxes & 1/2 lb. 7″ boxes. I used my Cricut to cut out the cutest little envelopes  & put them together. I will share more about them in another post. I used some cute paper I had. You can see I filled this box with tissue, a heart stamp,  pretty velvet ribbon & a Hello Kitty Stamp. You can use them for a cute Valentines Day display or to wrap up a cute gift for someone you love!

Here is a quick how to! 

All you need is:

  • A little box  *favor box 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ or other boxes ( examples & where to buy at bottom of post)
  • heavy duty glue stick ( Elmers)
  • scissors

  • pencil
  • 12 x 12 scrapbook paper
  • embellishments ( little glitter hearts, buttons, lace, scrapbook embellishments)

My favorite I did late tonight & didn’t have time to grab a photo, but will share it with you soon! I’ll take some better photos in the day time & update you soon! I will be stuffing these mini envelopes with hearts & stickers. I made quite a few. I’ll probably make some more Valentines Mail Boxes soon too. If you missed my friend’s video tutorial & the ones I made you can see them here, along with how to make them. I hope you have the chance to try your hand at either Valentines Day paper-crafting projects!
