Dollar Store Stampin' Up! Style Valentine Tree

 Good Morning, Stampers!


During a recent stroll through Dollar Tree — the kind where you swear you’re “just grabbing one thing” — I spotted this felt heart Valentine tree. Of course, I knew right away it needed a little Stampin' touch so I added the Endless Love die cuts using felt in coordinating colors. So quick and simple - I just LOVE how it came out!

What I love most about this project is how accessible it is. A $1.25 heart tree, a set of dies you already love, and a few minutes of creative play — that’s all it takes to make something meaningful.

Crafting doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful. Sometimes the simplest projects are the ones that stay with us the longest.

If you try this idea, I’d love to hear how you made it your own. Creativity grows when we share it!

paper style! This week's rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge

up dimension and personality. I whipped up a festive display plate to

 Good Morning, Stampers!

It's Anything BUT a Card for this week's 
rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I put
together a simple wrap for a box of conversation
hearts. These are perfect for co-workers, classroom
treats or just to give to family and friends!


The box sizes will vary depending on the brand,
but the idea will be the same. Just wrap the cardstock
around the box and secure. Punch (2) holes and thread
the ribbon through both.



Set the box on top and carefully push 
the box down to the bottom.


Tie the ribbon at the top in a knot/bow.
The box will slide up and down when you
pull up on the ribbon!
