Happy Valentine's Day!
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!
