Stampin' Up! Valentine Treat Holders

Left holder for friends; Right holder for teachers

I know it's 2 weeks past Valentine's Day, but I had to share these treat holders I made for my son to pass out at his school. 

Supplies Needed:

Card Stock: Real Red (11" x 4-1/4" and scrap for punching) Whisper White (scraps for die cutting and punching) More Amore Specialty DSP (laser cut heart)

Ink: Real Red
        Regal Rose

Stamp Sets: Teeny Tiny Wishes
                     Hearts a Flutter

Accessories: Big Shot

                     Petite Pockets Bigz Die

                     Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

                     Hearts a Flutter Framelits Die

                     Full Heart Punch

                     Word Window Punch

                     Paper Snips

                     Sticky Strip

                     Stampin' Dimensionals

                     Mini Glue Dots

 

Directions: Run Real Red card stock through the Big Shot with the Petite Pockets die.  Cut off the top closure to the pocket using paper snips.  Assemble the treat holder using sticky strip.

 

Stamp scallop full heart from Hearts a Flutter set with Regal Rose ink onto whisper white.  Run the stamped heart through the Big Shot with the corresponding heart Framelit.  Glue to the treat holder.

 

Punch real red card stock with the Full Heart punch.  Run the heart through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.  Adhere using Dimensionals.

 

Stamp "happy valentine's day" using Real Red onto whisper white.  Punch with the word window and adhere using Mini Glue dots.

 

One extra step for the teacher's treat holders is to cut out the laser cut hearts from the More Amore DSP and adhere this first. 

 

Stick a small candy bar inside and Ta-Da; an adorable treat holder!

 

Best of February...Love!

Cookie Party

This past Sunday I had some friends over to introduce them to the Sweet Pressed Cookie stamp sets and some of the other products from the Occasions mini catalog.  This picture above is some of the samples I showed.


Table set for make and take



More examples and supplies displayed

I had the cookie dough prepared and rolled out so we could stamp, bake and craft within the 2 hours I had set up.  The ladies had such a fun time experimenting with the different color sugar I had with all 6 cookie stamps.  We also experimented together using the cookie stamp as a chocolate mold.  Guess what?  It works!  They turn into the cutest cookies as well as chocolate.  Take a look at the snowflake chocolate that comes in the holiday cookie set.

You can see the blue sugar we tried on the cookie snowflake behind the chocolate

All I did was warm up chocolate wafers than careful spoon some chocolate onto the cookie stamp than spread it around with the back of the spoon.  When you think the stamp is covered with enough chocolate (be careful not to have too much or you will make a HUGE mess with the chocolate going over the sides) you place them in the fridge to cool.

Now here comes the tricky part; removing the chocolate without breaking it!  The nice thing about our cookie stamps is that they are made of silicone that are very flexible.  I just started bending from one side than working my way around the chocolate until it all came off!  Just take your time because the end result is worth it!  Another great reason to buy the cookie stamp sets.  This would make a great treat for anyone who loves chocolate and/or cookies.

While the cookies were baking, we made bag toppers for the cookies to go home in.  Here's what they made.

These were such a hit with the ladies.  They loved being able to take their cookies home in these adorable bags.  How cute would these be to give away for any occasion?  I just love Stampin' Up! because they have everything you need to make personalized gifts.  We sell everything to make these treat bags including the bags!

If you would like any of these supplies you can do so by shopping through my online store www.brittnysmith.stampinup.net.  Click products than "Shop Now" to get started.

I also have to toot my own horn because this party was a $500 order which means that I received $80 worth of FREE product as well as 2 items at half off and a free hostess bundle from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  This is such a good time to host a party and reap the benefits with FREE merchandise.  Thank you ladies for coming and placing your orders.  I greatly appreciate it and will send you something special in the mail as a thank you.  If you are interested in hosting your own party with your family and friends contact me ASAP because there are only 5 weeks left for Sale-a-bration where you get even more FREE items for hosting during this time.  Don't miss out on this wonderful promotion!
