Stay Closed Treat Box

Isn't this the neatest box!?! You can fill it with treats and the box remains closed until you squeeze the sides.

I made some of these for friends we are going to see over the Easter weekend. 

If you would like to make this box, go here.

Hey, Valentine Bags

I made these two bags for my husband and daughter for Valentine's Day. I filled the bags with snack size Hershey bars, Kit Kats, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Hershey Kisses.

If you would like to make one of these bags, go HERE to follow Sam's tutorial. 

Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Little Sweet Treat

Elaine at papercraftbutton.blogspot.com shared directions on how to make this little sweet treat box. 

My little box holds three Hershey Kisses, but it would hold up to five. 

Hope you have a great day!

Valentine's Box

I was watching YouTube videos on how to make a heart box and decided to try my hand at making one.

This is what I did ...

I used Stampin' Up!'s Heart framelits - the large scallop heart and the largest heart. I cut two of each.

For the top, I cut two strips 1 1/2" X 11". I scored at 1 1/8" and punched the short edge with this punch ...

I then wrapped the strips around the edge of the straight-edged heart, trimming to fit one side of the heart and then overlapping the other strip to fit the other side of the heart.

For the bottom, I trimmed the remaining straight-edge heart down by 1/8". I cut two strips 1" X 11". I scored the short edge at 5/8" and punched the short edge with the same punch. I adhered the strips like I did for the top.

I adhered each heart to a scallop circle and fit the box together.

I decorated the top and filled it with Hershey Nuggets for my sweet daughter.

Hope you have a great day!

Valentine's Nugget Holder

I pulled the idea for this from Connie at SimplySimpleStamping.com.

It is made with a piece of CS measuring 3" X 7 1/2". 

Score on the long side at 1 3/8", 1 7/8", 3 1/4", and 3 3/4".

Once you fold on the score lines you will see how the nugget holder comes together. 

Place adhesive on the end of the CS and adhere the box end to the last score line.

This holds three Hershey nuggets or a snack size Hershey or Kit Kat bar.

Hope you have a great day!

Love Bandit

After seeing this picture on Pinterest, I made this little guy.

I believe the original head is made from the ornament punch, but I do not have it so I had to make my own.

Here is the picture I took of the punches I used and some notes for me to remember just how he was made.

Have a great day!

Sweet Treat for You

This box was made after watching the video by Angela on her blog Stamping with Amore. 

The stamp set used is Hey, Valentine. Blendabilities markers were used to color in the stamped image. (both items from Stampin' Up!)

The bow was made with the Envelope Punch Board (1" x 7 1/8" - punch at 1 1/2", 3 1/2" then flip and do 1 1/2" from other end - repeat on other side - punch ends of paper to give it the ribbon look).

Hope you have a great day!

Divided Treat Box

While scanning through the many crafting blogs which I follow, I came across this box made by Brenda. I thought the box was cute and that I would save it for Easter treats, but decided to make some for a couple of friends who have birthdays in February.

I only had Valentine colored Hershey Kisses, but they still look pretty cute. I have only placed a tag on one of them so far.

Hope you have a great day!

Valentine's Piggy

A friend of mine sent me a link on FB for this made out of a toilet paper roll. Unfortunately, it was trash pick up day and all of my rolls were in the icky trash can so I improvised and made this one.

Hope you like him! Have a great day!

Pugs and Kisses

I made this card for my sweet grandchildren for Valentine's Day.

Hope you have a great day!

Baskets

I made these baskets following this YouTube video. I was thinking of Easter when I made these, but wouldn't they be cute in red, white, and black for Valentine's Day???

I hope you have a great day!

Valentine Boxes

I made these two boxes - one for my husband and one for my daughter.  

My husband's is filled with butterscotch disks. 

My daughter's is filled with Hershey's minature chocolate bars.

Hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day! ツ

Sweet Treats Single Cup Holder

I needed a container to hold one of my owl cups so I created this ...

Items Needed:

2 - CS 2" x 7 1/2" score each piece at 1" at one end

1 - CS 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" score at 1 1/4" on all sides

1 - 18" piece of ribbon

Scallop Tag Punch or Small Oval Punch

Directions:

Create a box out of the 4 1/2" square piece of CS.

Adhere the 2 pieces of CS at the 1" score mark on the bottom of the box.

Punch the "handle" at the top with the Scallop Tag Punch or Small Oval Punch.

Tie the ribbon around the box and through the handles.

Decorate as desired.

Have a great day! ツ

Sweet Treat Cups and Holder

I was given this small cup at Christmas time that was simply adorable. 

I thought these would be cute to make at all holidays. I quickly ordered some cups, but they have sat in my craft room staring at me until today!

A dear friend "tagged" me on a photo on Facebook and it gave me an idea for Valentine's Day gifts.

Here is my cup ...

Here is the side view ...

Here is the finished product ...

Now to get busy and get some made for some sweet couples in our lives! I plan on wrapping these in cellophane and tying them with red ribbon.

Have a great day! ツ

Music to my stomach!

I know, you are probably thinking I have lost my mind, but I haven't! 

I made these sweet treats for my daughter's classmates. The iLove is a box of Sweetheart candies.

I hope they like them! ツ

Sweet Treats!

I made these for a group of friends for Valentines Day. I placed a Dove chocolate and a caramel Nips inside. 

The idea for this bag came from Sam Donald.

I hope they bring a few smiles! ツ

Valentine Treats

I cannot decide which I like better ... The pointed ears or the heart-shaped ears?!?!

These are going to be Ghirardelli treat holders that will be tied closed with a ribbon.

At least I have a little it of time to decide!

I got this idea from France Martin.

Have a great Thursday! ツ
