Love is in the Air

Congratulations to the winner of the AR Customer Blog Hop: The blog hop winner came from Lynn's blog:  Jess
Welcome to stop 6 as you hop along this wonderful "Creations by AR" Customer Valentine's Day Blog Hop.
You have just come from a visit from Lynn's blog, so I hope you're having fun hopping along and discovering the fabulous templates that are available to you from Creations By AR. I was so excited that Lisa announced another customer blog hop. The templates are so easy to use and every project looks amazing when completed, I just had to join.
 Love really is in the air! 
When I signed up to participate, I had no idea what I wanted to create, after contemplation with the papers I wanted to use, I selected the the heart shaped box template with the planter template and created a little Valentine's Day treat that is so very sweet!
To make this wonderful Valentine's day favor, I used the small heart template and cut out 2 hearts, these were glues together with the right sides out and a pixie stick was inserted between them before the glue was dry.
Next came the planters, which is really ideal when used with double sided paper. My paper was single sided so I cut out two and then glued the two papers together. This produced a contrasting top for the planter.
This template assembled quickly and easily so I was able to make several favors for my valentine's day guests.
A little cube of floral foam was inserted into the planter to hold the Pixie stick in place and some small conversation hearts were then piled into the planter to hide the foam. A small tag stamped with the word valentine was made and attached to the Pixie stick with a pink gingham ribbon, this gives a little identity to each one of the favor's.
So easy to make and so very sweet to add to your table for this special day of Love!

I do hope you are commenting along the way and letting us know how much fun you're having visiting everyone on this blog hop! When the blog hop is over a winner will be selected from all the comments, so please comment along the way!  The lucky winner will receive a new template from AR
If you have been hopping in order, you have one more stop to make at Jennyfer's blog, so enjoy!

  8. How sweet this is! I'm tempted to make one like it for my granddaughter, but what would I put inside the box for an 8 month old? There's the challenge, but one I'm going to consider! Thank you for sharing your adorable project!
