VALENTINE NUT CUP - MINE

Lots of time still to craft for Valentines Day.  A slightly different version of my first nut cup.  Two frilly frou frou girly now, need to think out a couple of sweet but boyish versions.

A bit of red tinsel this time for the basket handle, felt heart & key, mini roses each wrapped in tulle, red crepe paper ruffled around the basket, white Dresden trim and Heathers collage sheet Romantic Focals.

VALENTINE "LOVE" NUT CUP

Nut cups!  This has been on my crafting bucket list for ages.  Those of us "of a certain age" will remember these at the table for any important event.  Usually filled with jelly beans or other small treats, it was a disappointment to find peanuts in there!  Mom always brought home the special ones for me,  I thought they were oh so fancy.

The acrylic handled basket this is built on was a gift from my crafty friend Marilyn aka Busy Martha!  The large patterned heart, the text box and my sweet little cupid are images from Heather of "My Artistic Adventures".  Check out Heather's Etsy shop she has been busy!

The basket handle actually has a clown on it so I have built my embellishment to sandwich that out of sight. A couple of red sparkled chipboard hearts are stuck back to back along with the patterned heart and some teeny buds and roses.  Red and pink crepe paper are ruffled around the bottom, topped with some red Dresden trim, a bit of white ribbon and a teeny sparkly heart.  I printed the collage sheet out 2x on one letter sized sheet of paper to get the right size, plenty of left overs for more nut cups!
