Conversation Hearts Box Cover

Good Afternoon!
I miss the days when the boys were younger and we would sit at the kitchen table and sign all of the valentines for school valentine parties. How time flies...
I bought the boxes of Conversation Hearts weeks ago, but I knew that I wanted to decorate with the "Sending Love" designer paper from Stampin' Up. I finally got my hands on the paper and made my covers for these boxes today. It's another cold day with flurries and sleet...so not a bad day to stay inside and play in my office.

The large box cover measures 3 1/2 x 8 1/2.
The scalloped band was cut at 2 1/2 x 8 1/2, and the punched along the long sides with the scallop border punch.
The Designer paper band was cut at 2 x 7 for the box on the left and 1 7/8 x 7 for the box on the right.

Everything for this project is from Stampin' Up! Here's a list of the supplies:
Stamps: I (Heart) Hearts
Paper: Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, Sending Love Designer paper
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink
Punches: Scallop Circle, 1 3/8" circle, Heart to Heart

Easter Chick Sour Cream Containers

Greetings!
Such a quick and easy project!
The paper measures 4 x 5 1/2 so that you can get six treats out of each 12x12 piece of paper. I haven't used my Crimper in such a long time but I love the way it finishes off these sour cream containers. Load them up with hershey's kisses or other wrapped candies for a sweet Easter treat.
Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Fraps

Greetings!
I really love decorating the frap bottles and since I still had some clean bottles tucked away, I decided to make some sweet little Easter Chicks.
I'm using some of my extra Sale-a-bration supplies and so you'll find the Delicate Dots Designer paper and So Saffron ribbon on these little bottles.

Easy Valentine Treat

Greetings!

These cute little diaper fold pouches can be found all over Splitcoaststampers and there is a great tutorial showing how to make these easy treats in the resources tab.
I've used a 6x6 piece of the retired Sweet Always Designer paper and added a few chocolate treats tied in a cello bag.

M&M Santa

Good Evening!
Here's another chocolate treat:-) I'm using the small snack-size M&M packs again for this project. These little treat holders can be made so simply and can easily be adapted for any holiday or any occasion. (See the M&M Monsters from an earlier post!)
These folded treats begin as a 3x11 strip of paper - four per 12x12 sheet of card stock. They are scored at 4", 6" and 10". The M&M package is stapled inside the top fold and the ribbon knot hides the staple.
A Scalloped Circle Punch with Santa in the center is just perfect! Actually, all of the circular stamps in the "Deer Friends" stamp set will work beautifully.
Enjoy your evening!

Hershey Bar Santas

Greetings!
These have been my favorite treats at the craft shows. I chose to add some quotes at the top of the bar, but they are just as cute without them. The quotes are then punched out with an oval punch and adhered to the Hershey bars.
I make all of my candy bar wrappers from a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2" square piece of card stock. You can get 4 wrappers out of a single piece of 12x12 card stock. Simply score these squares at 1 1/2, 1 3/4, 4 and 4 1/4". Scoring them makes them fit nicely around the candy bar and gives a clean edge.

Stampin' Up! Card stock: Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White, Brushed Silver

Santa Tootsie Roll Treats

Greetings! (originally posted December 2008)
Here's another sample of Frappuccino bottles for the upcoming craft shows! I save up these cute little Starbucks bottles all year long so that I have plenty available when Christmas time rolls around. They are just the perfect size for Tootsie Rolls, Hershey Kisses, etc. and they are so easy to decorate.
I've tried out several different buckles, you'll see two different versions pictured here. The smaller buckle on the left is one of those little "button" punches with slots to thread the belt through and the two buckles on the left are using a Quickutz die. The Santa circle in the middle of the picture is just one of the lids so you could see the top of the bottle too!
Have a great weekend!

Christmas Tootsie Roll Treats

Good Morning! (originally posted December 2008)
I just love when Christmas time comes around!!
I'm participating in some "Holiday Marts" at nearby elementary schools over the next few weekends. The schools invite various vendors to participate and offer their products/services. It's a great day of shopping for the kiddos and their parents!
I'll plan to post of a few of the projects over the next couple of days.
The project today is Christmas Tootsie Roll Treats. These are made out of the Starbucks Frappuccino bottles and filled with tootsie rolls. I used some of my last precious sheets of my retired "Dashing" paper and various stamps, punches and Quickutz die-cuts. I'm totally in my element with chocolate and stamping!!

Christmas Nugget Tins

Greetings!
What could be better than stamping and chocolate? I love the Holiday Treasures Designer Paper especially since Chocolate Chip is a color used in this set of papers. Just wrap a dozen Hershey nuggets (using a small piece of DSP measuring 1"x3"). Finish up with a fun belly band and ribbon around the entire box.
The "Merry Christmas" stamped tag is attached to the ribbon using the new silver cord, but that doesn't show in this photo!
Thanks for poppin' in!

Pumpkin Poop

Baskets of Eyeballs

Greetings!
Another quick post to show these baskets made with my Big Shot. I used my Baskets and Blooms die and cut two of the baskets from designer paper. The third basket is cut from Basic Black card stock and then embossed with silver embossing powder. No basket would be complete without chocolate, so I added the wrapped chocolate eyeballs. The eyes kind of look like they are peering right up out of the basket! Creepy...but cute!!
Supplies:
Paper: Ghostly Greetings Designer Paper, Basic Black CS
Stamp set: Tasty Sweet
Accessories: Baskets & Blooms XL Die-cut, Assorted Ribbon, Chocolates!!

M&M Monsters

Greetings!
These sweet little treats are just the right size to hold the small individual bags of M&M's or Skittles.
The "mouth" is punched using a 1 3/8" circle punch to show the candies hiding inside. A single staple seals the treats and a ribbon can be attached at the same time using the same staple. Super Quick and Easy!!

Frankenstein Treats

Good Morning!
Here's a sample of the Frankenstein treats we've made during clubs, classes and workshops. The box with the wire handle can hold lots of Halloween treats and the candy bar wrapper fits the normal 1.55 ounce Hershey bar. Frankenstein's hair is made using a Grass Border die. This long die works perfectly for those of us who don't wat to give Frank a haircut using scissors!!

Scalloped Spider Treats

I absolutely love punch art! I posted these little scalloped spiders on Splitcoaststampers in October of 2008.
The spiders are made using Stampin' Up! punches: Two Scalloped cirle punches for his body, 1/2" and 1/4" circle for his eyes, 1/4" circle for his nose, and the layered Photo Corners punch for his legs. With a peppermint patty sandwiched between the two scallop punches, these little critters can stand up all on their own.
More Halloween projects to come!
