Valentine's Day Piggie Pillow Box

Hey Crafty Friends,

I hope you all are having a spectacular week!! Are you ready for the weekend?? Do you have big plans?? I really need to organize my craft desk this weekend. A messy crafter is a creative crafter right?!?! HaHa

Today, I want to show you a Valentine's Day Treat Pig treat box. For this treat box, I used Cutie Katoodles-Girl Piggie

 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

For my project, I wanted to use the girl piggy and thought it'd be cute to make a pillow box container with Hershey's Kisses inside. I got the idea from Pinterest, but I wanted a pillow box that you could see the treats inside. I found a file over on SVG Cutting files that was perfect because the cut out was in the shape of a heart. So, I thought that Hogs & Kisses would be the perfect sentiment for the pillow box, but I don't have a Hogs and Kisses stamp. So I just picked a font and welded it together and used my Cricut to write it out on a tag. Then I used my new Prismacolor Pencils to color in the sentiment. The pillow box turned out WAY bigger than I anticipated and almost fit a full bag of Hershey's kisses inside. HaHa

Pugs N Kisses Magnetic Photo Frame

Good Evening Everyone,

I hope you guys are having a great night so far!! I'm going to share some cute magnetic photo frames I made using the adorable file by Kadoodle Bug Designs called Pugs N Kisses .

 My nieces Grandpa is currently in Texas undergoing chemo treatments so, I thought they would enjoy some happy mail. So I created a couple of magnetic photo frames for them to put on their fridge. I made a couple as reference for my nieces to look at, so they know how it will turn out. I did ink their pieces to give it definition and that pop. In the end, both had me help them glue down the pieces. They did have fun chalking the cheeks and putting the highlights in the eyes and on the ears. They also went crazy with the glitter pen. And my little niece Brooklyn wanted two hair bows on her doggies ears. I thought it was perfect cause she wears pigtails all the time too.

To make this project I used the steps below:

• The brown base was cut at 6.25 x 4.62.
• The pink frame is cut at 6.25 x 4.62 and the inside cut out is 5.41 x 4 in.
• Then glued the base to some foam and added magnets to the back of the foam.
• On the pink frame I used the silhouette paw prints and stamped brown on some and embossed gold and black on my nieces. Then attached the frame to the base.
• Then used foam adhesive tape and popped up title, the dog, and the kisses. On the parts that are inside the brown area, where you would put the photo I did not put adhesive on that. That way the photo will slide right under the foam that I used to pop it up.
• Standing Pug is cut at 2.37 x 3.65
• Pug with heart is cut at 2.57 x 3.18
• Pugs N Kisses title is cut at 2.91 x 1.33
• Chocolate Kisses are cut at 1.86 x 1.77
• To finish the card off I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter and added white highlights with a gel pen.
