Be Mine – Riley and Company Blog Hop!

sweetheart-duo-wm

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Riley and Company’s very first blog hop! If you didn’t start at the beginning of this hop, you might want to head on over to the Riley and Company blog so that you don’t miss out on anything.

Be sure to leave a comment on everyone’s blog as you travel from blog to blog as each of the Riley and Company Design Team members will be given away one new Riley stamp to a random person who leaves a comment on their blog!

My projects today use the new “Sweetheart Riley” …. just in time for Valentines Day! But I think this stamp will be fabulous for so many occasions! The new stamps will be available to purchase from Riley and Company NOW!!!!!!!

For my card I decided I needed lots of hearts so I grabbed my Heart Nestabilities and used those for both the main image and the sentiment. There are even hearts on my background paper … hehe!

Of course it is also fun to give a Valentine treat on Valentines Day so I made this cute little Flower Pot Box I discovered online recently. You can find the details on how to create this here.

After I printed the box onto red card, I added my designer paper to each panel and then also created a template so I could create my pink heart layer which matches my card. I then filled up my box with yummy heart chocolates!
