Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day or Happy Heart Day!!

Going to keep this post as simple as possible and share all the Valentine's cards and projects all at once.  I don't have very many so it shouldn't take too long.

This first picture is a collage of the treats my friend/co-worker, Doreen & I collaborated on for our co-workers.

It's a french fry treat container with some sweet treats inside.  I bought the FF containers at Michael's and decorated them with white cardstock, corrugated paper, embossing folders, stamps, inks, punches, some dies from La La Land Crafts & MFT and to make things easier, a computer generated sentiment.  Doreen baked up a storm of brownies and chocolate chip cookies that were cut into adorable hearts and covered with pink, red & white sprinkles, they were so yummy!!  She filled up these adorable red heart cellophane bags and they were the perfect addition to the container. They turned out really cute and brought a smile to those who were lucky enough to get one.

Now not everyone was able to get the one above, so I came up with these for them.

I punched out more of the hearts on some corrugated paper and covered some See's candy lollipops. Adding some scraps of red raffia ribbon and another MFT banner and it was finished in no time.  To save even more time I hand wrote the sentiments.  Super easy and turned out cute!

Here's a last minute card I made for my co-worker using one of the hearts and banners.

I had some of these scraps at my desk and was able to make her a CAS card for her to give to her boyfriend. The heart is my all time favorite punch.  It's from EK.  The banner is from MFT, this turned out pretty good for the supplies I had on hand.  Need to bring in more stuff, especially for my co-workers who want last minute projects.  Sorry about the picture, but I didn't have time to stage it. lol.  Last are the cards I made for the two most important people in my life, my parents...

This year they are both getting ninja valentines.  My crafty cousin, Sharmaine, made me a bunch of those ninjas a year or two ago and I've been reluctant to use them.  This year I decided to break them out and created two CAS cards.  I used a Hanko die, a By DIEzyne stitched strip die and a heart punch.  I hand wrote the sentiment with a calligraphy pen and they were done.  Now to write inside them and give them away...

Whew!  Hopefully that wasn't too long of a post.  hahaha!  I hope you have a fabulous Valentine's Day and enjoy the long weekend!  I'm so ready for it!  Take care and Mahalo for stopping by!  xoxo

Easy Valentine Day treats

Hello,

Hope you're all having a nice weekend.  For Valentine's Day I made a few easy no stress treats for my co-workers.  I went to Marukai and bought some fun caramel corn snacks that come pre-packaged in individual sizes.  They have really cute faces on the front and the actual snack melts in your mouth it's so ono! Below are the supplies I used:

I forgot to take a picture of the MS heart border punch.  And here's what I made:

 

I also picked up some HK crackers, these are also ono, they are both salty and sweet with a nice crunch.  I made a small tag using the same Happy Heart Day sentiment stamp and a heart punch.

 

You can barely see the HK image here, it was really hard to get a good shot without getting a glare from the cellophane.  Anyhoos, my co-workers were happy to receive these, yes they are spoiled! hahaha

The cool thing about these projects was how easy it was to dress up the already cute packaging.  These could be done with any theme you just need to find some cute treats. >.<

Have a great weekend!!
Hugs,
Leanne
