I had a lot of fun making this Valentine's Day card and gift set for my husband! This is my design team project for Everybdy-Art-Challenge #78 this week, where our theme is Valentine. The other design team members have made some gorgeous valentines--I hope you'll visit them and join our challenge! I'm also entering this into quite a few other Valentine challenges:
- Belli Challenge #84, Ribbons
- By the Cute and Girly, Love
- Charisma Cardz Challenge 5, I Love You
- Crazy 4 Challenges C4C23, Valentine

- Stampin' for the Weekend, Love is in the Air
- Stamp Something, Love Somethings
- Stamp With Fun Challenge #45, Hearts
- The Pink Elephant Challenge #53, Valentine
I tried to make it masculine-looking, but that's not easy for me--I like to make everything fussy and fancy! I covered the box with star dust stickles and popped up the cute little mouse. I punched the little red hearts out of red glitter card stock, including the solid heart underneath the black lattice heart, and added red stickles for more sparkle. I've neglected my little mice lately--I've missed them! I saw the cutest sentiment today, on a heart-shaped candy dish in a gift shop, and I wish I had seen it before I finished this card: "I love you more than candy!" Wouldn't that have been perfect? Oh well, next year!

The pail is filled with my husband's favorite cinnamon hearts from See's. This pail is 5 inches tall; the shorter 3.5 inch pails are in stock at 7 Kids. I think these pails would also be nice filled with Easter or birthday treats, don't you?
