Cardz TV Stamps Valentine Blog Hop

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and the Cardz TV Stamps Design Team is hopping this weekend.  We're highlighting Valentine projects using some of the different Cardz TV Stamp sets.  I've used Mary's Sweet Talk stamp set.  I love this set because it features individual words that can be combined into phrases.  This is a little project that I put together to give my husband for Valentine's Day on Tuesday.  Do you ever look at something you have and think that you could repurpose it.  My little project started with a container I picked up at the grocery store on New Year's Eve.  I wanted to make a romantic dinner for my husband and I that night so I picked up some steaks to grill.  While I was in the meat section I passed by a display of shrimp cocktails placed into these cute containers.  The shrimp were hanging around the center that was filled with cocktail sauce.  I could not bring myself to throw the container away after our dinner because I thought it was so darn cute and I knew I could find some other purpose for it.  So I washed it out and put it in a cupboard.  A couple week's later I was shopping in a Walgreen's pharmacy and at the checkout counter there was a display of individual cupcakes for purchase.  It hit me right away that I could take that cupcake and put it into that saved container and decorate it up for Valentine's Day.  I purchased a red velvet cupcake because I thought it was the perfect color for a Valentine's treat.  To decorate the plastic container I cut a heart border from my new Cricut Ribbons and Rosette's cartridge.  I wrapped it around the cup portion where I was going to place the cupcake.  I cut a tag from Tags, Bags, Boxes and more to stamp my sentiment on.  I took the individual words from the stamp set and stamped the phrase You're my Cupcake onto the tag in warm red chalk ink.  I added a ribbon and attached it to the container with a glue dot.  Then I needed a card to go along with the treat.  I used the Cricut Sweet Treats cartridge to make my card.  Of course, what would be better than a cupcake card. 

I made my base card from white cardstock, the cupcake bottom from red cardstock and the frosting from pink cardstock.  I used the same sentiment but stamped it all the way across the frosting layer.  I added some pink glitter to the frosting and some red glitter to the heart for a little sparkle.  Almost looks good enough to eat, huh?  I know you'd love the chance to win two sets (your choice) of Cardz TV Stamps so make sure you leave a comment on the Cardz TV blog.  Of course, I'd appreciate it if you'd leave me some love here, too.  Have fun hopping and have a sweet Valentine's Day.
