Valentine Collection Boxes

Aquarium Valentine Collection Box

Gumball Valentine Collection Box

I spent today helping my daughters make their valentine collection boxes for school this upcoming week.  Both girls knew exactly what they wanted, so I just helped them fill in the details with my Silhouette CAMEO.

My older daughter (6th grade) wanted an aquarium to match the fish valentines she’ll be giving out this year.  She had her box ready and her own fish cut out, and when she started asking me about wrapping the box with blue paper, we got to work.

The blue is some shiny wrapping paper I love for wrapping gifts.  She picked out some designs from my Studio Library, which I cut out of various colors of adhesive cardstock and basically created stickers for her to place wherever she wanted.  We added the black strip at the top with more adhesive cardstock to finish off the aquarium look.

Once my younger daughter saw what her sister’s box looked like, she decided to enlist my help to spiff up her box, as well.  She’s in 3rd grade, and her theme was “Give me Candy.”  (She had it written all over a cereal box, multiple times.)  We went with that theme, and I found a cute gumball machine in my Library of designs.

Instead of cutting out all those little gumballs individually, I turned them into a print & cut.  The individual tags on the sign are print & cut, as well.  The rest of the gumball machine is made from adhesive cardstock and a little silver printable foil.  I love all these materials that are self-adhesive!
