I KNOW, I know...Valentines is over but

my computer is now fixed and I wanted to share with you a couple of things I made for Valentines.

Above is the treat I made for our granddaughter's teachers. I used the Big Shot, Hearts Collection Framelit Die, Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder and Rhinestone Jewels for the Heart. The flower is made using the Big Shot and Fun Flowers Die. The only request Laura had was the treat needed to have something to do with hearts with a Hershey Kiss on top. So the Kiss fit perfectly in the inside of the flower. You'll notice on the bottom right of the picture, I attached a box which was filled with chocolates. It was made using the Big Shot once again and the Box #2 Die which is retired.
And these treats (24 of them) were made for Laura's classmates.

The day before Valentines I had an appointment so I gave these to the receptionist to share with the staff. I couldn't resist putting in the bag a copy of the Occasions Mini Catalog.

And last but not least, here is the card I made for Laura. This card was shown at Leadership and I thought it was so sweet. This picture doesn't do it any justice.

When each heart was lifted up on the right side, I'd stamped a Valentine sentiment.

OK VALENTINES IS OVER. Be sure to visit again tomorrow as I will be showing you a box and matching cards that my Blue Bonnets Group made last week using the Mixed Bunches stamp set. Have a great day and thanks for your patience while my computer was down!

Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. - 1 Thessalonians 5:13-14

Stampin'Up! Valentine Treat

VALENTINES IS JUST A WEEK AWAY ( minus a day and counting)

Have your started on your treats yet?

If not, here is a simple treat holder using a 5x3 3/4" piece of pink card stock and a 2 1/2x3 3/4" piece of black card stock. Oh, yes....don't forget the Ghirardelli chocolate.

Here's the inside.

Sorry about the writing but on "my samples", I write the dimensions so I don't have to measure everytime.

Have a great day; do something good for yourself ~ stamp daily!

Stampin'Up! OLIVE YOU Stamp Set

I got started yesterday on Laura's classmates Valentine treats. The only request Laura had was she wanted a "love bug". Well I just happened to have the retired SU set, Olive You, and this is what I came up with. The bug would be really cute with wiggly eyes but 7 year olds don't really care about the details....just the candy. I used Pretty In Pink, Whisper White and Basic Black card stock with the polka dot Melon Mambo ribbon. For dimensions on the box, just email me at shirley.mckay@ymail.com. Thanks for stopping by; have a great day!

Stampin'Up! HOT STUFF Valentine Treat

Good morning! Well here I am again bringing you something that I cased (copy and share everything) from a magazine. I used some leftover Island Oasis DSP along with Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Rose Red, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White card stock. Also used were three sizes of SU's circle punches.

It's amazing what you can come up with using scraps for these simple candy toppers.

Have a great Friday; look forward to seeing you over the weekend!

Stampin'Up! Pucker Up Candy Treat

I had seen something similar to this in a magazine and just happened upon this plastic container at the $ Store so thought I'd see what I could come up with. And here it is.....PUCKER UP.....Happy Valentine's Day! The container already had the pink felt and ribbon on top so pretty much all I did was make the topper.

I used the Tart and Tangy and Haute Couture (retired) stamp sets, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo cardstock and ink.

Just a reminder....SALE-A-BRATION is in full swing. See my Tuesday's post for all the details. I'd be happy to help you with any of your stamping needs.

Thanks for stopping by. Do something good for yourself; stamp daily!

Stampin'Up! UNDER THE STARS Valentine S'mores

I thought this was a cute idea for Valentine's. I saw it in a magazine but tweaked it to my liking. This is a thin tin that holds 2 graham crackers halved, 4 Mini-Hershey chocolate bars and mini-marshmallows. The Stampin'Up! stamp set used is UNDER THE STARS which reminds me of camping and making S'mores.
If you follow my blog, this card was shown last year but it's great for those outdoorsy people in your life.
Thanks for joining me today; hope you'll return again tomorrow for another stamping idea! Have a great day!

Today I'm sharing with you a treat for those kids who don't need anymore candy (sugar).
