February is the month of love and showing love entails gifting. 😜😍
I’ve bought a fresh stock of good quality printed paper and with my new cricut machine, I’m whipping up quite a storm.
I’ve made these small gift bags – to gift chocolates, or jewellery to your valentine.
The bags are embellished with bows/hearts and look so pretty that they are a gift by themself.
Here’s wishing all a Happy Valentine’s Day, with a exploding memory box.
The lid is decorated with red roses on a lace doily and butterflies (you get them in your stomach when you are in love)
You open the lid, and the box explodes revealing a central basket full of chocolate. 4 panels open up.
The left panel has decorated photo corners for tucking in a photograph of you and your love. The bottom panel has a heart punched pouch where you can tuck your gift – a ring perhaps. The panel at the right has a little secret place to insert a love note with a kiss. And the top panel has a beautiful origami heart with a love sentiment opening up like a hug.
An all in one gift fit your loved one.
“One day you will kiss someone you can’t breathe without, and find that breath is of little consequence.”

Today is Kiss Day in Valentine’s Week. So I made a greeting card gift to give a loved one. This card is where art meets engineering, cute meets nerdy.
As January comes to an end there is a hint of love in the air. The week of love in February begins with the Rose day on the 7th and culminates with Valentine’s day on the 14th. And what better way to wish that special one you love than gifting a handmade greeting card crafted with utmost love and care.
Here’s the valentine collection of cards, hand-crafted including the red paper roses.
Stamping designs on paper is a fun activity that we’ve been doing since childhood.
The first stamps that we created were by cutting vegetables like potato and okra/ladies finger.
Nowadays you get lovely rubber stamps with beautiful designs. I have done a lot of Stamping before, so this time I tried to give it a 3 dimensional look by stamping on colored paper and then cutting the outline and sticking on a card sheet.
Et voilà!! Two beautiful greeting cards.
I have added stamped Birthday greetings, but you can add any wishes like Happy Diwali or Happy New Year.
Love is in the air. But it has left my crafting room messy, thinking about a idea for a valentine card. Found a nice red ribbon with tiny hearts and then punched a beautiful card using the Martha Stewart scroll heart punch.
