over the top, for the most impact, of course!
complete with marabou, pearls and glitter.
Is there any other way??!!!
Easy to make; start by painting a cardboard cone (purchased from any craft store). I used 'Antique White' acrylic paint by Plaid Enterprises. While the cone is drying, stamp your Valentine message (or use a rub-on or computer printed message) onto white cardstock. Mat with red cardstock.
After the cone is dry, use a small heart stamp and red inkpad to stamp heart images randomly around cone. (or draw them with a red pen.)
Adhere the matted, stamped message onto center of cone using matte Mod Podge (again by Plaid Enterprises.) Then apply another layer of Mod Podge over entire cone and sprinkle liberally with glitter. Let dry thoroughly.
Finish by tying on the "Be Mine" ticket (or any other tag, maybe one with the recipients name?), attach pearl bauble to bottom of cone using jump ring (both by Tim Holtz idea-logy) and adhere marabou trim around top of cone. Fill with guilty pleasure of choice and present to a special Valentine. You're sure to be rewarded for your efforts!!! ;)
P.S. A lot of the supplies used for this project are "older," maybe not even still available for purchase? I just raided my stash when a burst of creativity hit me. With a little improvising, replacement products should be easy to find or just build on the idea using whatever craft supplies you have on hand.
Happy Valentine's Day All ~ I hope it's a sweet one!
How pretty! You are so creative and I was so happy to see a new post today. Hope you had a great Valentine's Day!
