Valentine Treats ~ A Class Act

I love Valentine's Day. The kids get so excited, especially since their classes have parties! Who doesn't love a party? I am lucky enough to get to help out at school for various things, and parties are my favorite too! So, I've been working very hard on treats for them to give to their friends. My daughter {Kylie} is in the 2nd grade and my son {Preston} is in preschool. I had a lot of treats to make, to say the least.

Preston only has 8 kids in his class. They are all boys! Can you imagine the craziness? I absolutely LOVE this class. It's always highly entertaining! I wanted something simple for them. They're going to rip into it anyway so I didn't want to put TOO much time into them. Here is what I came up with. I totally {dig} them!

Supplies

Cardstock ~ Real Red, Soft Sky, Whisper White

DSP ~ Fresh Prints

Ink ~ Real Red

Stamp Set ~ I Dig You (retired)

Tools ~ 3/16" corner punch, treat cups, hearts a flutter framelits, itty bitty banner framelits, dimensionals, glue, hole punch

Embellishments ~ red yarn from my stash. I think I got it at Wal-Mart and it matched PERFECTLY!

Kylie's class treats were a little more complicated. She wanted to give the boys an assortment of candy. For the girls, she wanted to give little mani/pedi kits. Because this was last minute and I couldn't order any little kits, I put a few things together for a fairly reasonable price. Little mini nail polishes, mini nail files, candy necklaces and a chocolate heart. I think I spent about $20 for the whole class! Here is what we came up with. They went together pretty easily. WHEW!

Sweet Success #153: Valentine's Treats for Teachers!

Can it be? Really? I'm ready for a Holiday before it's here? Today I decided to make treat bags for the kids' teachers. These are SO cute! They each hold a little chocolate. Who doesn't love to get chocolate for Valentine's Day? I had so much fun creating these. I still have some retired embellishments, so this was a great way to use them up. I still am in {love} with the Soda Pop Tops and the Designer Builder Brads. I'm crossing my fingers that Stampin' Up! will bring them back.

Sweet Treats #144: A Gift of Love

I'm not normally a Valentine's Day kinda girl. It's usually all too mushy for me. I'm such a tomboy. Ugh! Anyway, I got a wild hair and decided to make something cute and Valentinesy. Yes, I know that's not a real word. I saw a cute little gift box on Pinterest this morning and just HAD to come up with my own spin on it. Besides, I have a LOT of retired Valentine's supplies that I need to use up! I really like how this turned out. I can't wait to stuff it with goodies and send it on it's way!
