HI Y'ALL: Are you having fun seeing all the creations on this hop? I am really enjoying my Glitter Queen Team mates' creations and getting GREAT ideas and techniques!!
Today I have some fun Valentine treat ideas. Valentines do not always have to be RED, I think. Pinks we see quite regularly, but I think BLUE works too. Especially for boys and men, don't you agree?
Our manager, Dawn Griffith, showed us a great little treat box a week or so ago and I decided to try to make some of them for one of my classes. It is made with the TWO TAGS DIE and the BIG SHOT. I also used the new HONEYCOMB EMBOSSING FOLDER from our Spring Catalog.
Here is a closeup for you to see how cute they are. I used some FLOWER BRADS from the Clearance Rack ( there are some GREAT DEALS there!!).
My card club members loved these little gifts with some shreds stuffed in the box and some chocolate!! YUMM. These can be used for birthdays, thank yous, Easter, etc. Very versatile depending upon the colors and brads/decorations you use.
Here are some more for Valentine's Day. I used the EMBOSSLITS FASHIONABLE HEARTS DIE and red cardstock. I also used the EMBOSSLITS SCALLOPED HEARTS DIE. See how you can decorate them for any event or holiday? They are awesome. And look how cute the REAL RED CARD STOCK looks as shreds inside the box, matching the hearts. FUN FUN
Speaking of fun, here are a few more FUN treat ideas for you:
The stamps used on this cute little notecard are: Spring Sampler and Ciao Baby.
Hope you enjoyed my fun treats today. Time to hop on to De's blog. DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A COMMENT so you will be entered for my BLOG CANDY.

I HAD A SCRAPBOOKING WORKSHOP THIS PAST WEEKEND AND WE HAD 12 ATTENDEES. IT WAS SO FUN AND EVERYONE HAD A BLAST.
I HAD CREATED 4 DIFFERENT PAGES FOR THEM FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE. I USED THE SIMPLY SCRAPPIN' KIT CALLED PRIMARY COLORS. HERE ARE THE PAGES I CREATED FOR THEM. THEY ARE 6 X 6 INCH PAGES:
THE COLORS OF THE PAGES ARE REAL RED, BLISS BLUE, MORE MUSTARD AND WILD WASABI. THE PHOTOS WILL GO SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE WITH A CS FRAMING THAT WILL MATCH. HERE THEY ARE UP CLOSE SO YOU CAN SEE THE DETAIL:
WE TORE THE DSP DOUBLE SIDED PAPER INCLUDED IN THE KIT TO ADD AFTER WE STAMPED THE BACKGROUND FLOWERS WITH BLISS BLUE. ONE OF THE SELF ADHESIVE LABELS WAS ALSO STAMPED WITH BLISS BLUE LARGER FLOWERS TO COORDINATE. THE THREE DOTS ARE FROM THE KIT AND ONE HAS A BRIGHTS BRAD IN THE MIDDLE.
THE REAL RED PAGE WAS STAMPED WITH THE LARGE BACKGROUND MEDALLION STAMP WITH PACIFIC POINT INK. A MORE MUSTARD FLOWER BRAD WAS ADDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MEDALLION STAMP. MORE TORN DSP IN TWO PATTERNS FINISH THIS PAGE.
THIS MORE MUSTARD PAGE IS MY FAVORITE PAGE AND A LITTLE MORE TIME INTENSIVE. FIRST WE STAMPED WITH SUNNY FUN ACROSS A 6" PIECE OF CONFETTI WHITE CARD STOCK. THEN WITH AN AQUA MARKER AND THE INKS WE WATER COLORED THE PICTURE OF THESE LITTLE CUTIES IN THEIR TUBES IN THE WATER. SO CUTE. RANDOM BACKGROUND STAMP SAYS "FUN IN THE SUN" FROM THE SAME SET, THEN SELF ADHESIVE CIRCLES TO LOOK LIKE BUBBLES IN THE WATER, AND PHOTO CORNERS FROM THE KIT.
THIS GREEN PAGE IS THE LAST ONE AND THE MOST STAMPED. WE STAMPED OLD OLIVE AND WILD WASABI LEAVES ON THE 6" CONFETTI WHITE STRIP, AND THEN THE HYDRANGEA FLOWER ON THE ENTIRE BACKGROUND OF THE PAGE. THEN MORE MUSTARD INK SMALL BUTTERFLIES HERE AND THERE. WE EMPHASIZED AREAS OF THE FLOWER WITH AN OLD OLIVE MARKER TO MAKE THEM STAND OUT. WE SPONGED THE EDGES OF THE WHITE STRIP WITH WILD WASABI AND THE GREEN PAGE WITH MORE MUSTARD. A SMALL BRAD ON TOP OF THE POLKA DOT FROM THE KIT COMPLETES THE PAGE
ALL PAGES HAVE COLORS EITHER IN INK OR THE DSP TO COORDINATE WITH ADDITIONAL PAGES. THAT MAKES IT ALL FLOW AND COORDINATE SO WELL - THESE DESIGNER PAPERS FROM STAMPIN UP ALL COORDINATE AND ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
I HAVE MORE PAPER AND CARD STOCK LEFT FROM THIS SIMPLY SCRAPPIN' KIT AND WILL FINISH MY SCRAPBOOK WITH THEM.
OH HOW I LOVE SPRING - especially springtime in TEXAS. The humidity is low and the weather is reasonably cool. It is fabulous. I have been working in my garden planting cilantro, tomatoes, tomatilloes, fennel (for the monarch butterflies) and some flowers like impatients and daisies. Impatients should be my "signature" flower - because I SURE AM IMPATIENT!! ha
Here is a fun card I tried after watching Valita's wonderful UTube videos on using punches unusually. This tulip is made with mostly the OWL PUNCH which is then punched with the oval punch. It was fun to make. Please tell me what you think. And for sure go to UTube to search Valita and watch her amazing videos on punches flowers. She is Awesome!!
