One of my very favorite things to do is put together a Mystery Craft Box - and this Valentine’s edition might just be my favorite yet. From the projects to the papers to the little surprise gifts tucked inside, this box was designed to feel like a happy mail hug… the crafty kind, of course.
​
If you love coordinated card making, sweet details, and sitting down to stamp without having to prep a single thing, you’re going to love seeing what was inside this box. Keep reading for a full peek at the projects and the goodies that made this Valentine’s Mystery Craft Box extra special.

The Projects Inside the Box

All of the projects in this Valentine’s Mystery Craft Box were created using the Endless Love stamp set and dies paired with the Made with Love Designer Series Paper. This suite is full of hearts, bold patterns, and mixed sentiments that work beautifully together - perfect for Valentine’s Day cards and gifts that feel handmade and heartfelt.

Inside the box were eight total projects:

• Four projects designed by me, which you’ll see here
• Four additional exclusive projects designed by Melissa, created just for this box

Each project was designed to highlight different ways to use the stamps, dies, and patterned paper - from clean and simple layouts to more interactive and dimensional designs. Plus, 3D items to make and gift!

​All of the cardstock and elements were pre-cut and ready to go, so box recipients could sit down and start creating right away - no prep, no measuring, no guesswork.

The Surprise Gifts (Because Mystery Boxes Should Feel Like a Treat)

Of course, no Mystery Craft Box would be complete without a few fun surprises tucked inside. Along with the projects, this box included four Valentine-themed gifts:

• A heart-shaped compact mirror - perfect for a purse, craft bag, or desk drawer
• A package of Valentine’s bracelets for a little festive fun
• A ceramic heart dish with a magnet on the bottom (ideal for holding small dies on your desk!) This was packaged in one of the Hearts Gusseted Treat Bags from the Made with Love suite
• A handmade crocheted heart flower - cozy, unexpected, and so sweet

These gifts weren’t just “extras” - they were chosen to coordinate with the Valentine theme and to add to the overall experience of opening the box.

Everything Else That Was Included

In addition to the projects and gifts, the Valentine’s Mystery Craft Box also included:

• A half pack of Made with Love Designer Series Paper
• Bubble Bath ribbon
• Loose Valentine’s Assortment
• Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems

Everything inside the box worked together - colors, textures, and themes - so nothing felt random or leftover. It was all about making crafting feel easy, inspiring, and fun.
