You're Sweeter Than Chocolate

Hey everyone!  Happy Valentines Day!

Today is my day to post over at Jaded Blossom  and I wanted to share the treats I made for my daughters Valentine's party today at school.

I know some are funny about people handling treats especially when it comes to kids and school, so I think it's awesome that the Jaded Blossom Fancy Topper die works perfectly over the M&M Fun Size candy.

Here are a few of the 36 treats I made :

The sentiment came from Jaded Blossom's Valentine Treats set.

The hearts came from the Silhouette Store and of course we had to finish it off with a little bit of Valentine Cherry Cupcake twine by Trendy Twine.

Since these treats were for my daughters class, she helped me make them.  It's so nice that the Fancy Topper die is easy enough for a 7 year old to use.  She cut them all out and even inked the edges!  The great thing was that I didn't have to worry about filling 36 bags. Once we got the toppers made we just stuck them right on to the bag--SUPER EASY AND QUICK!!

Don't forget to join us in the February Challenge if you haven't done so already

Now on to my project...

This cute little monkey came from a cut file from KaDoodle Bug Designs 
called "Going Bananas Over You".
The sentiment is from the "Simple Sayings Valentine Edition" set by Jaded Blossom.
I created the face using Peachy Keen Stamps Teddy Bear Assortment faces.  I loved the eyes on this set, but they were a little too far apart for this cute little monkey, so I masked them off and moved them closer together.

Will you be my Valentine?

Hey there, I hope you are having a great weekend!  

I just wanted to take a quick moment and share a Valentines card I made.  

Isn't he so cute!  This cute little guy came from KaDoodle Bug Designs cut file "Over the Hedge for You".  I just love this whole set, but I thought he would be perfect for the sentiment I wanted to use.  

The sentiment is off one of my favorite sets from Jaded Blossom --"Simple Sayings Valentines Edition" 

Paper is a mixture of Paper Trey, Echo Park Love Story and Carta Bella Devoted.  I also used Trendy Twine's Valentine Cherry Cupcake.  

Hope you enjoyed my project and have a great weekend!

Hey there and welcome to day 3 of the Jaded Blossom Valentine's release! 

Guess what !?!  There is another candies set!   Today we are taking a sneak peek at the Conversations Candies set and the Funny Valentine set.  I would say these are my favorite, but I love ALL the sets in the release!  

For todays project, I used the sentiment "I'm nuts for you!" off of the Funny Valentine set as well as "I love you", "XOXO" and "Be Mine" off of the Conversations Candies set.  

This cute little squirrel came from Ka Doodle's Woodland Friends file.  

The paper is from Carta Bella's Devoted collection and some of Trendy Twine's Valentine Cherry Cupcake twine.

For this I used : 

Clear tube -- NEW Jaded Blossom 6" tube

Sentiment "Love is Sweet"-- new Simple Sayings Valentines Edition

"5 cents"-- I used the "5" off of the Jaded Blossom Numbers Candies set and just added the cent sign by hand

Paper-- Carta Bella Devoted Collection (hearts) and other from my stash

Valentine Candies and Got  Candy?

For my project, I used the sentiment "Happy Valentine's Day to my favorite nerd!" off of the Got Candy set and 

"Will you be mine?" off of the Valentines Candies set.

Here is a close up of the sentiments.  I also used the scalloped flag die from the Jaded Blossom Flag Die 2 set and the small flag die from their first Flag Die set.

I used this cute cut file from Paper Piecings by Nikki called I Love My Geek.  

I thought he was just perfect for this project!  I even had to add some glossy accents for his glasses.
