More is More

So what do you think of the SASI sneak peeks so far?  Those calendar sets are stinkin’ CUTE – that’s for sure.  Can it get any cuter?  Well…who can resist the ultimate papercrafter’s holiday?  Yep – today the entire Bakers Dozen team is showcasing the new SASI Valentine set Love is Sweet!  Oh be still my heart!

I’ve used two of the cuppies from the set (Love Muffin and Cupid).  Don’t you just want to eat them up?  LOL!  On the left is a small paper mache box I picked up at Hobby Lobby in Texas.  It already had a square hole cut out of the lid – just perfect to make into a shaker top.  On the right is a little 3×3 love note to go along with the sweet little gift box.  And here’s the inside of the note.

All three of the sentiments I used are from the Love it Sweet set as well.

Just as I was getting started on these SASI projects my Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator pre-order arrived.  Oh the agony of so many stamps, so little time!  I just had to use something out of that SU box, so I decided to use this fun new Raspberry Tart dp.  I covered both the top and bottom of the box with the dp.  Then I stamped the Love Muffin onto TE Choice White cardstock and paper pieced his wrapper and colored the rest with Copics.  That was then adhered to a chipboard square that came with the box.  I attached a panel of acetate inside the lid to cover the hole and over that I layered foam tape around all 4 sides of the window – making sure there was no place for my tiny little beads to escape.  After carefully pouring in some of this very fun bead and confetti mixture I attached the image panel to the foam tape on the inside of the lid.  I stamped my sentiment in real Red and punched it out with the SU Word Window punch – I love how so may of the SASI sentiments fit into punches I have.  Then I added some pink Zva crystals (also from TE).  I think this box would be perfect to fill up with Hershey Smooches Kisses or perhaps a piece of pretty jewelry if you wanted to kick it up a notch.

Since there was so much going on with the box I decided to keep the coordinating card quite simple.  Again I paper pieced the cupcake wrapper, punched the sentiment with the WW punch and added the same crystals just in a larger size.

Be sure to check back tonight at 9:00pm Pacific or midnight EST for the big SASI release news and even more samples from the team!  For now let’s hop over to Taylor’s blog to see what she has for us today and to navigate to the rest of the Bakers Dozen peeks!  What a fun way to start the New Year!
