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.

Here is Dawn's video on how to make the little baskets. Enjoy!!
I JUST HAD A HANKERING TO PLAY WITH MY CUTE LITTLE SNOWMEN STAMPS. HERE ARE SOME DARLING GIFT TAGS MADE WITH STAMPS, MY BIG SHOT AND THE TWO TAGS DIE, AND SOME PURCHASED CHIPBOARD LETTERS.
THIS IS THE TALLER OF THE SNOWMEN IS MY STAMP SET. HE IS TALL LIKE MY HUBBY!! I COLORED HIM WITH MY MARKERS THEN ADDED CRYSTAL EFFECTS ON ALL HIS COAL BUTTONS. RIBBON, TWINE AND A BUTTON ACCENT THE TOP OF THE GIFT TAG. HE HAS TWO BIRDS AS HIS FRIENDS. I ADDED MICRO BEADS WITH CRYSTAL EFFECTS ON THIS CHIPBOARD LETTER "B" FOR BRANDON.
I FEATURE THE TALLER OF THE SNOWMEN AGAIN ON THIS TAG, AGAIN USING A BUTTON AND SOME TWINE WITH THE POLKA DOT RIBBON. C IS FOR COLLIN.
I LOVE THIS LITTLE CHUBBY SHORT GUY. I USED FINE GLITTER ON HIS STOCKING CAP AND HIS SCARF. ALSO SOME ON THE SNOWBALL HE IS GETTING READY TO THROW. THE CHERRY COBBLER GLIMMER PAPER WAS DIE CUT WITH MY BIG SHOT AS THE SCALLOPED FRAME AROUND THIS CUTE SNOW SCENE.
D IS FOR DUANE. ISN'T THE CARROT NOSE ON THIS GUY CUTE? LOVE THE TWIG ARMS TOO. MORE MUSTARD CARD STOCK USED ON THIS DIE CUT GIFT TAG.
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY. I HAVE FINISHED UP THE QUILTS FOR KIDS WE WERE MAKING AS A NEW QUILT GUILD AT OUR CHURCH. SO I AM TRYING TO WORK WITH MY STAMPS, INK AND CARD STOCK NOW. I MISSED IT!!
TODAY IS GOOD FRIDAY. GETTING READY FOR EASTER CELEBRATION WITH MY FAMILY.
I MADE SOME GOODIES FOR A FEW FRIENDS THAT I PLAN TO BRING TO THEM TOMORROW. LET ME SHARE THEM WITH YOU. I MADE THEM WITH MY BIG SHOT AND THE TWO TAGS DIE AS WELL AS THE BASKET AND BLOOMS DIE.
I created the baskets in daffodil yellow, apricot appeal (retired), pear pizzazz and blushing bride.
I attached the tags from the two tags die after I stamped on it HE IS RISEN and the Easter lily stamped image from the current Easter set.
I used the blossoms from the same die as the basket on the second tag in from the right and attached it to the tag with a HAT PIN. So cute~~
Above is a close up of the tag with the Easter message for you to see better.
I put some of that paper basket filler (can't remember what it is called!! hate when that happens) and a goodie in the basket.
You can see the hat pin on this tag with the die cut blooms that are attached with it to the tag.
Closeup of the hat pin tag. All tags were sponged around the edges with contrasting or coordinating colors.
This one is my favorite - pear pizzazz and pretty in pink. Love the striped ribbon I got on the clearance rack. And the lillies are so pretty, aren't they?
This glimmer pink ribbon is recycled from a store bought card from Valentines day. I always try to reuse and recycle anything I can!! Thought it worked perfectly here, don't you??
WHAT GOOD NEWS - HE IS RISEN. EASTER BLESSINGS TO YOU AND HOPE YOU HAVE A LOVING TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
