Be My "Bloody" Valentine Candy Box

I am super excited to share with you today my Be My "Bloody" Valentine Candy Box with a little surprise inside. This is for sure not your traditional box of chocolates for a traditional Valentine. Since my favorite show, "The Walking Dead" comes back on tonight I just had to pay tribute to it. So I created a triangle candy box, decorated it with a Valentine flare and some "blood splatter." Then I hit the kitchen and made some candy coated Oreo brains for the surprise inside.

I used these items to create the Candy Box (ALL of which have been in my stash for quite some time):

Sweet Tooth Boxes Cricut cartridge - triangle candy box cut at 9 1/4
Cake Basics Cricut cartridge - heart cut at 9 1 /2
Wild Card Cricut cartridge - Be my Valentine
red lace
red craft paint - "blood splatter"
Glossy Accents

I used these items to create the surprise inside (ALL of which I had on hand too):

Wilton Cookie Candy Mold
Oreo cookies
Wilton Candy Melts - red, pink and white

Love Bites ATC

Ok can I tell you how much I love this Zombie...well, I do! Last year Rick St. Dennis offered this Zombie as a freebie and I had to snag him. Now I have to admit, I am still learning the how-to's of coloring. I don't have the fancy Copics or any other well known markers, I only have Sharpies and I do my best with what I have. So when I saw that Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge was Zombies Need Love Too I knew I was going to have to color this guy up.

Here you can see how the glossy accents make the eyes and mouth look juicy.

Here you can see the 3 dimensional sticker

I used these items to create this ATC:

Rick St. Dennis digital stamp (I don't know if he has it available anymore for purchase or not)
Martha Stewart heart lace edge punch
Sharpie Markers
white gel pen
3-D sticker - "Love Bites" heart
