Make sure and scroll all the way down to the bottom to enter for the VALENTINE's BLOG CANDY!!
Today is Whatchadoin' Wednesday over at the Storage Units, Ink & More blog---today is challenge #23 and you have to make a holder/package for a Valentine's Day treat! If you want to join in the fun, upload your cards to SCS using the keyword "suinkwwc23" so we can all see! Make sure and stop by the SUINK blog to see the other DT gal's fun projects!I used the cute lil' Cupid stamp from the "Will You Be My Valentine" set for both my card and treat holder. I also made my own patterned paper by taking the three sweettart hearts from the set and placing them on my acrylic block all together and stamping randomly onto my pink cs--super fun & easy! I used my Fiskars threading water punch to create the trims and added some stickles to Cupid of course :o)
These tubes are so fun to use and decorate. I filled mine with those new YUMMO strawberry milkshake Whoppers--lovee them! I just wrapped more of my cs around the tube and added some ribbon and another Cupid! These are quick & easy to put together if you want to make multiples of them! If you're interested in buying some of these fun tubes (mine I've had a while, but the new ones have cool twist tops), Susana's Store has them in stock right HERE.

my fave valentines gift is a bit soppy lol. a cpl of yrs ago my hubby wrote me a poem, and i have kept it, it was so sweet!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous gift you made and an adorable card to go with it. Oh and I'd love to win those stamps - my favourite Valentine gifts have been flowering plants that I've been able to put in the garden to carry on flowering year after year - and chocolates too of course! hugs, annie x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful candy you're giving away. Adorable gift set you've presented. My fave valentine would have to be one year when I received some flowers which I don't like but inside tucked in the middle was a single red rose! It brought a huge smile to my face.Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteChocolates and ice-cream have always made me happy! :P
ReplyDeleteLove those gifts! Checked out those containers- can't beat the price, lol.
ReplyDeleteWe do dinner and a movie on valentines...a night out for just the 2 of us...who could ask for more!
That is some great candy, Suzanne!
Love the gift you made and the card is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy fave gift is a single red rose, wich my hubby gives me each year.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Very lovely gift. Such a pretty set that you've made! Favorite Valentine's gift? Probably a heart shaped necklace pendant from a special person - opens up with photos inside - you know the kind.
ReplyDeletenancyd@yahoo.com
My favourite valentine gift are always flowers - hubby is allergic to pollen, so that's quite a sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteWe have snow - I put a couple of pics on my blog. About 15cm of the stuff. Couldn't go to the city for my app with the oculist ...
Bye, Kitty
Hmmm...I would have to say my silver David Yurman bracelet with heart charm. it is so pretty and I wear it everyday. My hubby is the best!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous gift set you've made. My favorite Valentine's gift is when my husband got me some flowers and a cricut cartridge a couple of years ago. Two things that he really doesn't like to buy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win this cute set.
my favorite Valentines gift was a ragged boquet of flowers that my sister gave me when my stupid boufriend forgot to get me anything! I love the treats you made here and that set is darling! thanks for the chance to win!

My favorite valentine gift was roses from my hubby, 26 of them for our 26 years together. That was a few years ago since we will be married for 32 years this year! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

My favorite valentines gift ever was an orchid I received from a friend when I was in my teens. Ann Lind
ReplyDeletemy favorite valentines gift would have to be my hubby of 23 years we were married on Valentines day, the stamp set is so cute, thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeletewendy
OH! My boyfriend's very creative and he made a cool scrapbook of all our adventures together! That was really, really awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi ^_^
ReplyDeleteI think that my best gift ever was a weekend in Praga *_* beautiful city!!!
thanks for the chance!
We don't really celebrate Valentines day with gifts we just try to do something nice for each other
ReplyDeleteOur local chocolate shop makes the BEST chocolate covered strawberries for Valentines Day. (People literally line up down the block to get into the store to buy them.) I love when DH brings those home.
ReplyDeleteGreat Candy. My favorite was when my sweetie and I went out for a romantic dinner and over dessert I told him he was going to be a "daddy". It was so special to see his reaction and emotion. A time I will always cherish!!
ReplyDeletejerryb17011@yahoo.com
Thanks for the chance to win the great "candy". My favorite valentines were always the handmade ones by my kids. Even though they are grown now and I get beautiful valentines, the little ones they worked so hard on will always be the best. (gildamc@hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite valentines day gift ever was when my daughters who at the time were 3 (twins) and 2 made me a card of their hands with a heart in the middle and in the heart was a picture of them. That reminded me of just how much their little lives rested in my hands and how important being a good example to them was.
ReplyDeleteMy wife thinks it is a waste of money to buy something that is just going to die...even though she loves "getting" flowers!! So every once in a while (few years) I suprise her with flowers...because I like them for HER!! jerroldbeck@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteLove your project. My favorite valentines gift is one long stem red rose that I get from my hubby. To me it is just as special as a dozen. We meet on valentines day 35 years ago this year on a blind date.
ReplyDeleteLove your treat holder! Very cute! My favorite gift was from last year. I had just started a new job (which was horrible) and I was in a bit of a funk. Hubby and I decided not to do anything for Valentines Day because we didn't have the money. But when I came home from work there was a gorgeous flower bouquet waiting for me. My hubby and my son (he was almost 2 then) went and each picked out half of the flowers in it. (All of my sons flowers were yellow, lol) It was so sweet.
ReplyDeletemy favorite gift was a silk rose my son bought me at a seven eleven store at about the age of 6. he was so excited to give it to me, and I still have it today, amny years later.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the paper you made! And those Whoppers look yummy! My favorite Valentines Day goodie was a beautiful heartshaped clear vase my ex bought me one year with short stem roses in it so it wouldn't tip over on my desk. He was really thoughtful like that. Thanks and I'm sure the weather will cooperate with you!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Susan
Love the blog candy...TFS!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't really remember a favorite Valentine gift....I've liked them all!!! ;-)

I love your creations :)
ReplyDeleteWell this is a bit pathetic really - I have never ever gotten anything for Valentines Day.... hope I can still go in the draw - maybe my luck will change ;)
Have a lovely day!!
My favorite gift was a day of shopping. We met for dinner after my adventure and my Hubby said: is that all I thought you would have spent more?" LOL
ReplyDeleteIt was great!
I have never gotten anything
ReplyDeletefor valentines day.
Thank for the chans to win.
Loveee your work!! My greatest valentine gift ever was 20 years ago next month & each year after. My husband & I got married. It ended up being the 18th since that was the 1st Saturday after Valentines Day but it is all the same to me.
ReplyDeleteI know this is probably normal but it meant alot to me as my fiance passed away before we got married, but he proposed to me. Like I siad pretty normal for a Valentines but it is special. Thanks for a chance to win this super set!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift was a trip to NY for just the two of us. Fun!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Valentine's Day is just when my husband and I get away for a day.
ReplyDeleteFantastic packaging & card! I love this set. So perfect for V-Day. Anytime the gift involves chocolate I'm happy!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance to win. I wanted this stamp set so badly when it came out but unfortunately, I'm on a spending ban right now. Anyway, my favorite Valentine gift was a poem my husband wrote for me the first Valentine's day we were together. Thanks again! :)
Hugs, Christine
My fav gift was engaged ring! Lovely candy, love to win! Hugs, Moni
ReplyDeletesoooo cute Suzanne :-) lov eit
ReplyDeleteI love this set.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Valentine's day gift was from my DH the first year we were married. He surprised me with a trip to San Francisco! We flew up from San Diego, had lunch at the Equinox, did the tourist thingy and flew home that night! It was great!!
Thanks for the op to win your YUMMY blog candy!

this was perhaps not my favorite but a memorable one. When I was in elementary school a teacher bought all of us a red piggy bank. We came back from recess and they were on our desk. When I got older I found out the teacher was married and was never able to have children and had lost her husband. The bank probably meant more after it was long gone than it did when I was young, only because I knew more about her later.
ReplyDeletemy fav valentine by far was recieveing roses from hubby in Iraq! The best gift ever.
ReplyDeletehow fun! this set is on my wish list! love the cupid container you created by the way!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable project for the challenge and YUMMMM Strawberry Milkshake Whoppers!! I'm gonna need to go get some of those! (I'm still mourning my Hot Chocolate Hershey's Kisses not being available now that Christmas is over!) :(
ReplyDeleteMy favorite valentines day gift ever is a wood and glass curio grandfather clock. My husband got this for me for valentines day about 11 years ago. It is one item that has moved with us from house to house!

ReplyDeletegreetings

Well, I am sorry to say that I have been single for so blooming long that I can't remember!!! However, this would make a lovely gift ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband had a pair of garnet heart earrings made for me...just beautiful. I only got to enjoy them for 4 years as our home was burglarized and all my jewelry except my pearls were stolen. Guess they looked fake.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite valentines day gift was 17 years ago, when my boyfriend (now husband) gave me an engagement ring. Then 15 years ago on valentines day, I found out I was pregnant!! That was the best and most precious gift of all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to enter.
Best wishes.

Love your Card and Gift...so cute! My favorite Valentine gift EVER would have to have been the year I found out I was pregnant with my wonderful daughter...17 years ago!~ The Doctors office called and confirmed my blood test that day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for te chance...I am off to link to my blog!
I really can't decide what was my favourite gift. I just love everything what my boyfriend does for me. He's great! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win this great candy.

I once got a valentine cupcake frog and since I love frogs(to collect) it was the one I remember the best.
ReplyDeletei love your blog and card creations so much. thanks for the chance at candy.
my fave valentines gift was when i got 3 red roses in school when i was in 5th grade. was super sweet!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite valentine gift was when i got a HUGE bouquet of roses of my husband, i think it was about 50 of them! 8-)
ReplyDeleteLovely giveway you have there, and those gift are really cute!
This is so so cute! I love that image but haven't even used it yet, maybe in the morning. Great job on the challenge, as usual.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite valentine gift was a diamond necklace from my husband. It isn't too big but I treasure it.
ReplyDeleteThat is an easy question for me--three years ago on Valentines Day my first grandchild was born!
ReplyDeleteGosh it's hard to pick a favorite one, so... I'd have to say they have all been wonderful! Just spending quality time and seeing the "love" in my Hubby's and my little ones eyes on Valentines Day is enough for me. :-)
ReplyDeleteJenn
Oh, Suzanne, these are stunning as are all your creations! You have such an eye for color and shading! I so admire all of your work. Of course I am jealous that you are going to CHA. LOL! But seriously, I hope you have a wonderful time, and I can hardly wait for you to share all your goodies that you see!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Janna
Nice Valentine treat holder and matching card. My favorite Valentines were all the ones my son made for me when he was little. Thank you for the chance to win some yummy blog candy.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Valentine Gift was meeting by husband for the first time!
ReplyDeleteWhen my now DH showed up at my work with a card, teddy bear, rose and music tape. We had just barely started dating and I was so impressed he knew what tape I was wanting!
ReplyDeletemy favourite gift was a card and foto frame my husband made for me:)thanks for the chance at candy.
ReplyDeleteŠpela
What a pretty gift container and I think I need to get some strawberry Whoppers...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Valentine's gift was 2 years ago: my husband got me a pink-with-hearts Starbuck's travel cup...I love it and take it with me everywhere (I like my coffee)!
Your gift set is absolutely darling! Love those sweet little cupids - will have to try some of those Strawberry Maltballs. My favorite Valentine's present has arrived every year since I can remember. My dad sends my sisters and I a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and has since we were little. He has extended the tradition to include his four granddaughters, too. Sooo sweet, and probably really expensive!! Hehehe Thanks for the chance to win that cute set, Suzanne!! I went to buy it and see that it's out of stock. Story of my life!!
ReplyDeleteCute set! This stamp set is so cute.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, I never received a gift on Valentine's Day, other than in elementary school. The best gift received was a lifesavers book. That was something back in the day. By the way, I was married on Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteGreat gift! My favorite valentine's gift was the year I received my red Ford Escape. I still have it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Valentine's gift:
ReplyDeleteMy son. He was born the beginning of February and I've always told my hubby that Tristan is the best Valentine gift he has ever given me.
If I'm honest I never got any Valentine’s Day present. Maybe I will be lucky this year ;-)
ReplyDeleteBest regards from Slovenian
Tanja
Your projects are so cute !
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift was a ring with a heart shape ruby in it that my sweetie gave me in 2001.
My favorite valentine's gift was 3 wooden hearts painted red and glued on a piece of white ribbon. Each heart had had a word written in white. When it hung the hearts read "I Love Mom" My son gave that to me when he was in kindergarten and I still have it. He's in the 7th grade now. Love those gifts!!
ReplyDeleteKerry
Because my birthday and valentines is so close together my husband usually combines the two. But one year the florist delivered 12chocolate covered strawberries on long stems. They looked just like roses individually wrapped, with greenery and everything. That was having your flowers and eating them too. *wink*
ReplyDeleteSuzanne,
ReplyDeleteGreat valentines set. Have a great time at CHA!
A Heart shaped box of chocolates from my daughter is my favorite valentind gift. The stamp set is really cute.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I mostly get flowers and candy for valentine but once I got a Feng Shui book so that must be my favorite. Thanks for the chance to win this fab giveaway.
ReplyDeletex Natasha x
My favorite Valentine's gift was my boyfriend! Well, we actually met on Feb. 24th, but Valentine's Day still holds a very special meaning for us.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog Suzanne!
Pamela S.
Can you believe I never had a present?? Only cards :(
ReplyDeleteWarm regards, Renata
My most favorite valentine moment was when my man fixed me a home cooked romantic meal, complete with wine, flowers, delicious food and chocolate. Yum!
ReplyDeleteOh what adorable stamps and your projects are beautiful I love them both. My hubby is not a great Valentines day pressie buyer not even after 35 years but last year fo some reason he bought me a beautiful bunch of Fresias which are my all time favourite flowers I was so pleased (in his defence he does buy me flowers for no reason). Sue :o)
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne, I love the gift set! You are so creative. I can say that my favorite Valentine's Day was when my son asked me to be his valentine and give me a bunch of grass. LOL He was only 3 years old. That was 10 years ago. How can that not be my favorite Valentine's Day. :o)
ReplyDeleteYour card and treat holder are great!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Valentine gift (and my only Valentine gift ever) is the heart necklace my DH gave me about 8 years ago. He put it in my purse and then called me a couple times at work. Since I didn't say anything about the necklace when he called, he finally had to tell me to look in my purse. I was very surprised because we have never given each other presents for Valentine's Day.
Suzanne I love that little pink paper with the hearts so sweet! Great card and gift too.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope that the answer doesn't reflect who wins as we are not Valentine gift givers but my favorite thing about valentines as a young child was making those boxes to put all your V's in and then reading all the ones you would get- especially if they were from the boys to try and read into the message they chose for me! LOL!
That gift you made is adorable!!and that candy looks delish! My Fav. Valentines gift was a few years ago, I was pregnant with our first child and my hubby bought me a teddy bear holding a baby and a rose. it was so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet set! I love the card and gift you made with it!
ReplyDeleteWe usually don't do a whole lot on Valentine's Day other than cards and chocolate, but the Valentine's Day before we got married, DH surprised me with a beautiful necklace with 2 interlocking gold hearts. He knew I had been looking for something special to use as a charm on my garter, and thought that I could take the hearts off the chain to use. I thought it was so sweet of him! To this day, it is one of my favorite necklaces, and gets worn constantly (I actually have it on as I type.).
My favorite is when my daughter would make me homemade valentine cards. They were the most precious to me. She doen't do that anymore.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite valentine's gift was the card and jewelry box that my son had made for me in Pre-school. It's the saddest-looking box but it's just too adorable to throw out.
ReplyDeleteCammyV
My favorite Valentine's present ever was the card that my little one made for me last year...it was her first!! Thanks for reminding me of such a treasure!
ReplyDeleteNancy Bush
What a charming little set love the easy layout... that's me easy nothing complicated.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite Valentines gift, is an ivory music box in the shape of a heart my oldest daughter gave me... as a prelude to let me know she was getting married.
what wonderful candy you are offering :0)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite valentines gift ever is a Red Rhodedandron Bush that my hubby bought me for the first valentine we had together.
**Hugs** Heather x
my fave valentines gift was concert tickets:) we had a great time that night!!
ReplyDeletehugs
What a lovely blogcandy, I can hardly write, sitting here with my fingers crossed! My favourite valentine gift is when my husband remembers how much I love flowers, roses or tulips, a hole bunch! It doesn't happens every year, so I enjoy it even more the times he rembers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great opportunity!
Linking you on my blog right now! http://scraplinda.pointblog.se
My favorite valentines gift was 20 years ago. A week before Valentine my daughter was born! The greatest gift ever.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite valentine's gift was when I was pregnant with my son many years ago. My husband gave me a small red bear for the baby. I put it at the end of the crib when he was born, and 28 years later my son still has it (but not on his bed). lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog candy, thank you for the chance to win! My fave valentines gift was from one of my best friends who I dated once or twice in grade school. He gave me a fake rose that had a teddy bear in it and sprayed it with his moms perfume. I still have it today and it still smells like the perfume. My friend got killed in a boating accident nearly two years ago, so I treasure it with me entire heart.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Valentine's gift wasn't of much monetary value, but it was full of romantic value! My dear hubby and I were engaged, but we were still in college so money was very tight. He gave me a sweet card and took me out to dinner and a movie. He made it very special and I am so glad I married him. Thanks for the chance to win some great stamps.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Valentine's day gift is a Puppy that pants, and wiggles its ears and says "Give me a hug, give me hug,"
ReplyDeleteWhen my youngest son was born (will be 3 on 2/1) my hubby made me a card for Brandon's first Valentine's day and used a stamp pad to stamp his feet and hands on it. Brandon was just under 2 weeks old. He had everything, including Brandon all cleaned up. It was so sweet to see him take the time to make ME a card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful set you created Suzanne! It's so pretty! Let's see....my favorite Valentine's gift would have to be the one I am getting this year....I am getting more Copics from my hubby! Prior to my love for markers would be the gift that I got from my hubby for our very 1st Valentine's back in the dating days....he got me two gold dipped roses....I still treasure them today! Thanks for the chance to win some lovely stamps!
ReplyDeleteHugs~ Kim
That is a tough one. My husband always gets me cute little stuffed animals, or special goodies. One of my most memorable actually came from my dad about 10 years ago or so. He had bought me some heart earrings on QVC. I just adore my dad, and the fact that he had that little surprise for me meant so much to me.
ReplyDeleteMy Fav Valentines gift is a Silver Berch tree my husband bought me,we had just moved into our new home so it was so romantic.We have now moved & i miss my tree but as luck would have it our son bought that house & we still get to sit beneath our tree :):),we will be married 25 years on March 3rd & the tree will be 23 years planted on Feb 14th :):)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win !!!!
One year my hubby bought me a heart necklace. My husband is not the romantic type and he doesn't ever plan ahead.... except for that one time. It meant so much to me because he had made such an effort to get me something special.
ReplyDeleteMy best Valentine's Day present was from my son. When he was smaller, he gave me a Precious Moments piece. It was a little boy with a puppy. It really touched my heart!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite love day gifts are those silly dancing stuffed animals that Dan always gets at the pharmacy for me... they make me laugh and that is a gift! You know- to make someone laugh~ The songs they dance to are always so appropriate for the moment.
ReplyDeletePlease pick me this time!
Your friend,
Alex
My Hubby works away and a few years ago he sent me a poem in an email and that was the best present ever. For him to take the time to sit and type me a poem from his heart is not something he had or has ever done again making it very special!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gift set and card!! I love your choice of blog candy!!
ReplyDeleteI always get a dozen red roses from my hubby on Valentine's Day but a few years ago my hubby gave me another gift besides. It was an adorable "Charming Tails" figurine called "You are my Cup of Tea. It was and is so adorable and thoughtful!!
I love your sweet gift set & thanks for the chance to win some magnificent candy! My fave Valentine's gift from my hubby is my anniversary ring. Our anniversary is the day before Valentine's. I was trying to be ssooo romantic!
ReplyDeletemy fav valentine present was actually the day of our invitro... we had our daughter implanted on Feb 14th!!!!

ReplyDeleteHmm...best Valentine ever? We don't do much in the way of gifts, but a couple of years ago, my very darling husband surprised me at work and took me out to lunch. It was so sweet and a total shocker! I loved it.
I just love getting flowers any time of the year but Valentines is special. Hubby used to send them to me at work, but usally remembers to stop and get me some to bring home now. Would love to win the stamp set. Have a great day. Hugs n' Stuff, Lynne
