Last minute Valentines treat class

http://jill031070.blogspot.com/2009/02/last-minute-valentines-treat-class.html

Here is my last minute Valentines Treat class. I held this class yesterday here at my home. I had so much fun seeing the ladies & stamping! such fun! A big hug goes out to Shauna- who came to stamp all the way from TEXAS!!!!! wow!

There were 6 projects in the class. I used riding hood red, pink pirouette, close to cocoa and Candy lane designer paper

1. Scallop Treat bag. The bag with scallop is made from a XL Bigz die. See page 195. We had some issues with seeing the score lines (they were faint) but the box was super cute! It was punched with the crop-a-dile and tied with matching ribbon. the tag is a new SU sizzlet set called lot of Tags

2. Candy Slider box. This holds 6 Reese's peanut butter hearts or 8 Hershey's nuggets. We made this slider box at Leadership to hold tags. I converted it into a candy box.

The Base: 3 x 6-1/2. Score at 1/2 inch in on all 4 sides. snip score mark to form box. I lined the box with DSP and stapled ribbon to the edge to create the handle.

Cover/slider: 5-1/2 x 6-1/2. Score at 1-1/2, 2, 4-1/4 and 4-3/4. wrap around box base, decorate

3. Cone shaped treat holder. this is made from the largest scallop die.

4. Ghirardelli chocolate holder. This is the Petal Die for the Big shot. The chocolate is inside. YUM!!!

5. Heart Shaped Box. this is also made from the Petal card die for the big shot.

6. Peek-a-boo treat holder. I made a bunch of these for my club girls and some hostesses as well. They were very popular! base is 3.5 x 9.5" I then punched the edges with the new eyelet border punch. the score line are at 2.75 and 3" in from each side.

Quick Valentine Gifts

Take a 8.5 X 11 sheet of CS, and cut it the way shown at 2 3/4. You will end up with equal pieces with means 4 giftys per sheet! Then, you need to score it, as per lower picture, at 1, 4.5 and 5 inches. Scallop the 1" flap end, if you so desire, and then fold it all together. Put a little baggie of candy inside (I got mine from the $1 store, but you can get glassine bags at All That Scraps). Making sure that the top of the bag is at the top of the CS, punch 2 holes for your ribbon, or staple the flap down. Now the embellishing is up to you. Have fun and happy stamping!!

Good Sunday Morning!

For your Base you need a piece that's 9 and a 1/2 inches long by 2 and a 1/2 inches wide. Then you score it at 1 inch and at 5 and 1/2 inches. The one inch section is where you will staple your candy in, and the 5 and a 1/2 inch score line is where you will fold the front flap over to cover your candy! Make sense? Hope this picture helps alittle. Here's the inside!
