Sweet Little Love Notes Pocket Envelopes~

 With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I wanted to make some little gifts for a few friends. I don't get a lot of personal scrappy time, so I needed to make pieces that I could make multiples of while still making each one different and personal. 


I took inspiration from a couple of artists for these little treasures:

 The little envelope boxes were taken from a gift that was sent to me by Phyllis Fernandez ( Scrapbooking By Phyllis ). The one Phyllis sent me had been made with a die cut and did not have a bottom to hold gifts. I actually drew my own out and created it from the idea of hers. 

 I love Kathy Clement (Kathy By Design) and she creates projects around her (and also my) love of tea, so I chose to make them little pockets with tea bags and little heart tea spoons tucked into the pockets.


This little box was created from a Mixture of some old Prima Romance Novel & Wild & Free  6 x 6 Paper Pads that I had in my stash. I wrapped the box with Simply Beautiful French Embroidered Lace.

I used the 

Beautiful Board Lacy Hearts Chipboard With Corrugated Base.
The large one that is tucked into the box is the large one from the set. I softly painted the raised part of the corrugated board with ivory paint, topped it with the Beautiful Board Piece and then added a 
Printed Beautiful Board Romance And Roses Tuck In onto the corner. 
The small one has a paper piece that I stamped a love and floral image onto behind it. I then cut a rose piece from another Printed Beautiful Board Romance And Roses Tuck In and added that to the chipboard topper and topped that with a Tiny Treasures Sweet Nothings Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies





Here you can see the little pieces that are tucked into the box. They include:

*A Chocolate Truffle tea bag wrapped in tissue paper, tied with twine and topped with a 

Shabby Heart Bit that was stamped with You and topped with a piece of bling. 
*A little envelope with a note card and 3 Tiny note cards cut from the papers.

*A little silver heart shaped spoon with a lace and Shabby Heart Bit accent.





Showing how the large heart has a little pocket to tuck the note cards into.

Sheer Romance Lace White.


I used the 

Beautiful Board Follow Your Heart Chipboard With Corrugated Base.
The large one that is tucked into the box is the large one from the set. I softly painted the raised part of the corrugated board with ivory paint, topped it with the Beautiful Board Piece and then added a 
Printed Beautiful Board Romance And Roses Tuck In onto the corner. 
The small one is just the heart piece minus the corrugated board. ( I will save this for another project in the future).  I then cut a rose piece from another Printed Beautiful Board Romance And Roses Tuck In and added that to the chipboard topper and topped that with a Tiny Treasures Snow White Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies.

Thank you so much for joining me for a walk through of my Sweet Little Love Notes Pocket Envelopes. I hope you find the time to create something special for some of your friends and loved ones for Valentine's Day.
