Valentine Treats

Hope everyone is enjoying a nice weekend. I know my friends out east might still be digging out from all the snow the last 72 hours. 

Here in MN we have sunny blue skies and the snow is melting quickly. 

Jaded Blossom has a Valentine Treat challenge going on til Feb 14th so I did up a couple treat bags. 

The first one on the left is a box in a bag that I made using the SVG file from SVG Cutting Files.

I modified the height of the bag itself so it would fit my little gift item inside.

I decorated it with lost of JB dies and stamps listed at the bottom of this post. 

The second little treat bag is just a cello bag filled with candies. It's hard to tell from this picture but these little bags are just 2" wide and 5" tall. I had them in my drawer and frankly can't remember where I got them. You can find a larger version on the JB website.

I made the topper using dies and stamps from JB along with a cupid cut file from SVG Cutting Files. Sorry, it was a freebie a couple years ago and no longer available.

Here's the list of Goodies I used on my treats today....

Exciting News Coming Soon!

Hey everyone-- I will have some exciting news and fun starting Monday, August 1. 

I can't wait to share it with you. I have some blogger friends helping me out so I hope you will find it fun and exciting too.

 

This little "Hippo-Birthday card" was inspired by a few challenges going on out in the blogger world right now. 

 

Celebrate the Occasion- Use Blue and white Birthday Sundaes-Photo Inspiration Die Cuttin Divas #25- Sweet Treats Queen of my Craft Room-Creative Critter challenge My Craft Spot-Emboss it challenge.

 

Here's How I did it….
Standard A2 card base

Paper is all from my scrap stash

White mat embossed with Cuttlebug folder Bloom Dots

Hippo/layers cut at 3.25" from Create a Critter p.44

Cupcake/layers cut at 1.25" from Sweet Treats p. 29

Stickles and some gems to bling it up a bit.

A Sweet Treat for all of you!

Happy Martin Luther King day. 
Fortunately, that means I get the day off. However, anyone that really knows me, knows that I never take a day off. Thanks to Blackberry, I am reachable and can read my email anytime and almost anywhere. I did find a little time to have lunch with some friends and put together a little something sweet for all of you.

So here it is. I tried something new and cut the front half of the card off and gave it a scalloped edge vertical border. This way the sentiment is on the front and inside of the card. A double duty sentiment. But, it really does speak the truth. So this card is for all of my virtual blog friends out there.

Here's how I did it....

Pink card stock for card base is Bazzill

Pink pattern paper inside card is Fancy paper; First Date.

The cute Brown pattern paper is Sprinkled with Love from Imaginisce 

Additional paper from my scrap stash

Candy truffle and all layers cut at 2" from Winter Frolic, p. 60

Cake plate cut at 1.5" from Sweat Treats, p. 42

Sentiment printed on my own computer

Scallop border punch for the border edge

Brown chalk and a gel pen for doodles

Teal ribbon
