Valentine's Mailboxes


Good evening! I was blog browsing this evening, and saw these adorable creations by Christine and fell in love. Yes, I've seen the mailboxes before, have even had them laying around my house for at least 2 years, but something about her design caught my eye.  It inspired me to make my own, following her layout pretty closely.  These will be gifts for my 2 good college friends who I'll see on Valentine's Day (I just have to drop by Target tomorrow for some goodies to fill it with!).  
I used the "Candy Lane" dsp by SU!, along with the "Love You Much" stamp set.  For the cover, I added a Sizzix scallop circle die cut, and then cut some circles with my CM tools (the SU! cutting system is on backorder).  I stamped the heart and colored it in, then used my glue pen to cover the whole heart in glue and add some Martha Stewart glitter.  I tied on some random ribbon on the arm, and added some matching primas.  I used my SU! full heart punch to punch a heart out of acetate, and then added some flowers to it for the arm handle.

Thanks for stopping by tonight!
