Happy Valentine's Day!
   
As promised, I am back to share the treats I made for the twins Kindergarten class. There are 30 kids in their class, and they each wanted to pass out something different... that's a LOT of goodies to prepare, so I had to keep it pretty simple!
    
For Olivia's Valentine's, I made some simple Matchbook Treat Holders. I've made these before, and they are so easy! Just cut the cardstock to 8 1/2" x 3" and score at 3/4" and 4 3/4". For these ones, I stamped little hearts just a shade darker than the cardstock Olivia chose, and added a sentiment and die-cut heart.

Supplies: Recollections CS (light pink, light blue, and medium blue); Bazzill Hot Pink CS; Lil Inker Heart Dies;
Memento Rose Bud Ink; Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress Ink; Versafine Onyx Black Ink; Glue Dots
Lil' Inker Sweet Bee Stamp (sentiment); Lawn Fawn Teeny Tiny Backdrops Stamp (hearts)
    
Here is a view of one of the treats opened. A little bag of these M&M's fits perfectly... I just added a strip of adhesive from my ATG gun to hold them in place.

For Abigail's Valentine's I used the new Your Next Stamp Lollipop Cover Die. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this die?? It's makes the finished product so cute, and is pretty effortless! I used the same heart stamp for these, but stamped in red and pink on kraft. Finished them off with some more die cut hearts, and a quick knotted ribbon. Seriously SO EASY!!

Supplies: Neenah Desert Storm CS; Bazzill Brick CS; Bazzill Hot Pink CS; Ribbon; YNS Lollipop Cover Die;
Lil' Inker Heart Dies; Memento Ladybug Ink; Memento Rose Bud Ink; Glue Dots
       
I was able to put these together in just a couple of hours. My poor Cuttlebug did not fair well through all the die-cutting though... it had a traumatic near-death experience yesterday! After feeding the heart die through for probably the 50th time, I heard a rattling sound inside of it... picked it up to investigate, and a screw fell out! The rollers wouldn't even turn after that! I could've cried, and WOULD have... all I can say, is thank goodness for a husband that likes to tinker! He was able to carefully dissect my Bug and fix it up in a couple of hours. Crisis averted!
     
That's all for now! I have some exciting news to share tomorrow, so I hope you'll come back!
Have a sweet Valentine's Day, and thanks so much for stopping by!

These are the perfect treat holders for your child's class. I had to laugh a little when you said that your Cuttlebug had a near death experience. But then I felt your pain when you said a screw fell out. I'm glad your hubby was able to fix it for you! Thank you for joining us at The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog. We look forward to seeing you again. Hugs~Patti
