I started with a plain fry box and a collage sheet from
called Shabby Vintage Retro Valentine's Day Cute Tags and created two decorative containers for February 14th!
The first one I made is primarily red and has dyed ribbon roses down each side.
That adorable teacup duo makes me smile every time I see it! I mounted the image on checkered foam, added flowers, a button and some bakery string.
There is room in the fry box for a variety of 'happies'. Can you guess what I put inside?
A doily, some paper shreds and...
Aha! I knew you'd get it. Tea! And how about some Sweetheart motto candies?
Home-made Lavender Sachets would also be nice inside.
Heather at My Artistic Adventures is having a Challenge which begins today, February 2, and runs through February 15. It's an Anything Goes challenge, so come play along!
My second project using Heather's etsy printable is this blue fry box with a painted wooden teacup under the Retro image. I fussy cut the teacup duo twice and placed foam dots between them for dimension. Next, I added a bit of glitter around the heart and gold metallic paint on the teacup edge.
Heather has made it easy for you to make your own fry boxes with her variety of colored etsy collage sheets. There are so many things you can put in these cute containers:
- bubbles, crayons, cards
- candy, gum, snacks, mints
- gift cards
- hand sanitizer, lotion, nail polish
- beauty products,lip balm, hair accessories
- lottery tickets, event tickets
- jewelry
These french fry boxes could be decorated seasonally, for birthdays, Mother's & Father's Day, and for party favors.
Hope to see you at

ReplyDeleteI love them both, Shawn! the adorable tea cups looks so darn cute! I love how you used these to adorn your beautiful boxes! You are so full of creativity and talent, my friend! Thanks for sharing these smiles this morning!!!! Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteWow These are just amazing! The detail in each Valentine is over the top. Opening my eyes to a whole new world. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteShawn these are GORGEOUS!! Sooo cute!! The images bring a smile to my face too....I know that you already know that I had you in mind when I did this set :0)...but you may not know...is that when I added the text...I first had..."Mi cup of tea"....then I went back and changed the "i" to "y"...because I figured people would think I had misspelled it....I will have to get you a personal set....with the correct spelling of "Mi Cup of Tea"
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating these for my challenge Shawn!! Thank you for the shout out about my freebie banner!!
Hugs
Heather
