Quick & Easy Treats

As soon as I saw the Happiness Blooms Designer Series paper I thought of the cute treats I could create with it for St Patty’s Day. The pattern looked like clovers to me. So here is what I came up with.

So I reached for the Amazing Life stamp set which contains not only the Good Luck sentiment but a 4 leaf clover too – both perfect for my project.

I’m a mint fan so when I found these little Russel Stover mints I picked up a bag – I love little prepackaged treats like this!

Want to see how I made them? Here is a quick video for you.

Wonder how where these skinny notepads come from?

I’ve used a typical Junior Legal Pad that I took to my local office supply, Office Pros in Cornelia. For a small fee they cut the legal pads in 1/2 for me. (If you don’t live locally most office supply stores offer this service, so you’ll just want to check with them on their requirements.)

Enjoy!

Varied Vases

With the spike in temperature last week I was thinking spring – so here is a bright cheerful card made with the Varied Vases Bundle from the Annual Catalog.

Today’s post is going to be quick since I’m expecting my son to be cracking the whip and needing me for our home improvement project again. He’s got a ton of energy and kept me working until after 11 last night. Oh, for the days when I used to have that much energy. LOL! (I’ll try and share some pictures with you next week, so you can see what I’ve been up to.)

I’m loving this Bundle of products and the fact I can use this punch with the Vibrant Vases stamp set (148656) offered in the Occasions Catalog too! More options, means more value, yippie!

I like the Blueberry Bushel and Calypso Coral combination that I used on this card, it’s bold and cheerful and perfect to chase away the winter time blues.

I’ve whipped up a quick tutorial for you too. Just a PDF this time, but I do have a tip for how to stamp easily with this punch that I’ve listed on the tutorial for you. And of course this set is great to use with your Stamparatus since it is a two step and allows you to stamp the flowers easily and at one time too. Got to love that, right?

Meant to Be Merci Treat Holder Tutorial

Merci chocolates are so yummy that I thought I’d create some treat holders to share them – plus it stops me from eating them since they seem to call my name! So I reached for the Meant to Be Bundle and got to work.

Here is what I came up with

This little treat holder holds 3 Merci Chocolates – a perfect size for just a little taste of chocolate when you want it.

I love the way the heart shape is at the top without any card stock behind it. Want to know how I made them? Here’s my video tutorial.

Bloom by Bloom Calendar Card

I had some more calendars that I wanted to use so I made this bright and cheerful Bloom by Bloom Calendar Card to send out. I know it’s almost the end of January but I think they will still bring a smile to the recipients face.

I’ve created a PDF Tutorial for this card and if you would like to see my earlier video tutorial that I shared with you showing you how I made these calendar bases for my Forever Lovely Calendar Card CLICK HERE.

Just a note: the video has been notated that I said the wrong measurement for the base on the video, but please know that the PDF is correct. Sometimes my mouth gets ahead of my brain. Ever have that happen? lol. But know that you start with a standard card base that is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.

Forever Lovely Valentine Treat

I made today’s project as a little goodie for my team members and put one at everyone’s tables for the Winter Retreat this past weekend. I couldn’t resist these yummy little Creme Filled Wafer Rolls when I saw them and was hoping they were individual wrapped. However, that turned out not to be the case so our 2×8″ Cello Bags to the rescue!

I simply slipped 3 of the little sticks inside and sealed then decorated. I really like how they came together and think they turned out quite elegant with the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets. The little heart looks just like a chocolate box since I used the Tufted Embossing Folder. What do you think?

I’ve put a video together for you in case you’d like to make some of these treats too
