Valentine’s Day Pillow Boxes
Happy Valentine’s Day friends!!
I made these Valentines for my youngest son to take to school. He’s still in elementary school. My high school daughter will let me make her some things for school, but my middle school son? Forget about it. He’d prefer candy in an unmarked bag. LOL!
I recently bought the Cricut Imagine Blast Off cartridge and was super thrilled to find that it has a great heart pattern on it. YAY! It was perfect for creating these Valentine’s Day pillow boxes. I printed 5 sheets of heart paper. I buy cheap 12×12 white paper from Hobby Lobby. 😉
Every time I use the Sizzix Pillow Box
This stamp is from my Yummy Puns stamp set! They’ll be in stock later this week! The punch I used is the Modern Label, Extra Large from Stampin’ Up.
A little look at the creative process. Diet Coke + Buffy = Crafty Joy
Here’s a picture of everything in progress. I didn’t use a Cricut to cut anything today. I did jump into my paper stash to find that red paper AND some more paper for extra pillow boxes. This is one of those times that I am super happy that I follow my “cutting scraps into usable sizes” rule. It made crafting much easier and faster being able to use those pieces as soon as I chose them. Want to know how I store my scrap paper? Here’s a video all about it.
The Valentine’s are stuffed with Sweet Tart hearts that have sayings on them. I happen to know that they are yummy too. What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t test the candy for the kids? 🙂 LOL!
Wishing you a Wonderful Valentine’s Day!

What a pretty cuttlebug! I dont have one yet but I already liked you on facebook. I have a middle school son, and didnt get to send him treats, but my HS daughter wanted to make v-day cards with me!

Oh Joy….those are so cute! Sadly…this evening (Sunday) my son came downstairs crying that his throat hurt and wanted a pain reliever. I felt his head and he was burning up. I had him gargle with warm salt water and put him to bed with a “Be Cool” gel pad stuck to his head. Poor baby was running a 102.8 fever. So needless to say, he probably won’t be going to school for Valentines Day 🙁
Thank you for sharing your cute little projects. I always love all the things you do 🙂
I already like your facebook page, I will follow you on Twitter (although I don’t use Twitter…it’s not user friendly), and I will sign up for your newsletter. Happy Valentine’s Day, my friend.

Love your pillow boxes!!! Happy Anniversary. :o)
I love the pillow boxes. After watching many of your posts I have come to the realization I need to look at sizzix a whole lot more. Thank you again for the great ideas.
The pillow box crafts that you have been making are adorable!! Thanks so much for all of the give-aways. One of my favorite things to do is to check your blog to see what awesome items you are giving away. I am an avid Cricut and Gypsy user but don’t have a cuttlebug… yet! I know I would love it especially since cuttlebug has been coming out with all of those embossing folders that match cricut cartridges! Happy anniversary!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!
LOVE the little pillow boxes. I made Valentine’s pencil arrows for my 11yr old’s classmates, & heart flowers with lolipops for his two teachers.
Happy V. Day to you Joy! Thank you for the chance to win the Cuttlebug. I’d be THRILLED to death. We’d be Valentine’s for life:). Hope you have a V. day celebration that makes you smile. [email protected]
I so wished I had seen these ideas, or even last year’s ideas Saturday! Love them! Will try to remember them for next year or I may change them up a little and use them at Easter! Used my Cricut yesterday to decorate some plastic heart shaped boxes that were on clearance! They turned out cute. Happy Anniversary!
HAPPY ANNIVESARY Joy. I just loved those valentine pillow boxes. I already follow you on facebook and I just subscribed to your newletter. Been wanting a cuttlebug and have been to Michaels and Hobby Lobby every week since Christmas for one. They still have not gotten any in. Thanks for a super chance to win.
Joy,
These are adorable. I know how you feel about your middle school son. When my son started 6th grade, I was no longer “allowed” to give him a kiss in the morning at school. They grow up so fast.
Thanks for sharing your talent
Hugs

Love the pillow boxes. Funny story.. I made the containers that look like the sour cream packets for my son’s class, and the teacher put them in the freezer thinking they were ice cream!! So they will get their candy today instead of Friday when they had their party. LOL! I have “liked” you on FB and I subscribe to your newsletter. I have had so much fun following your blog. Thanks for the smiles.

I am currently looking for wedding favor/shower favors for my brothers upcoming wedding, love this idea, simple and I can use the wedding colors with the boxes! thanks Joy for all your projects, I recommend your site to everyone!
I’ve already “liked” you and I’ve already subscribed to your news letter. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out the “twitter” thing. So that just leaves me leaving you a post,,,
Love your posts…they really help me get my “juices” flowing.
I’ve just cut out (using my Cricut, of course) some Easter projects for one of my Facebook friend’s Girl Scout troops to hopefully sell to raise money for a trip. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for her. She said the “cookies” didn’t do too well for her troops this year.
Keep up the good work. I’ve “won” only a few things in my life (one of which was my husband, whom I lost 7 years ago). Would really like to win this one. It would greatly add to my “juices”.
Happy Anniversary Joy!!! How exciting… I’m so happy I found your site. I love all the projects you share. I have gotten lots of inspiration from you 🙂 You are AWESOME!!!
Love these little boxes. Think I need a sizzix now.
Such a cute project. The little boxes are so fun. Happy Anniversary. My daughter sent me over and I’m so glad she did. Your site is fabulous.
Hey Joy! Another AWESOME project and this time it’s on your big anniversary date! I’ve followed you since day one on FFD plus I ‘like’ you on FB. Keep the GREAT ideas rolling!
