Mother's Day Treats

I made several of these to give out to teachers and friends...little Crystal Light packages hanging on water bottles...

It's that time of year again....

...when I make myself crazy making little treats for all my kids' classes....this year we decided on FunDip...I put them in a little matchbook cover...

To make your own, just mearure your treats width and add 1/4 inch...measure the length and double (noting the score line) and add 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch for the small flap at the bottom...

Makin' the cut...

Here's the elf that didn't make the cut for the elf poop topper...still cute but Maggie thought that he looked too much like the elf Herman from Land of Misfit Toys...plus he would have been a lot more punching!

Same concept as before...head and hat from the ornament punch, ears from the bird wing...hat trim is an oval...

Elf poop?!?

Here is the treat that I'm making for my oldest to bring into school...it's elf poop (mini m & m's) and has the cutest poem...


The elf face an oval punch...the hat is the ornament punch and the ears are the wings from the bird punch...

They better eat it!

I've been busy making treats for my kids to give out for Christmas...I was going to make the old stand-by (a chocolate bar wrapped with a piece of paper and topped with a cute holiday stamp) but I was not too enthused about making 100 of them, so I came up with a better idea....Magic Reindeer food!

I googled the recipe and the poem and got to punching....the reindeer's head is the owl punch with the feet removed...the antlers are a non-SU! leaf punch...and of course the nose is a circle of glittered paper!  I'm still in the process of assembling 64 of these cuties...wait till you see the other treats I'm making for my oldest to bring to school...

Happy #6!

Yesterday was my little Timmy's 6th birthday...

These are the little treats I made for his kindergarten class...it is just 2 Kit Kat bars wrapped in a strip of Gable Green, with a little alien space ship with a circle of Green Galore and a scallop circle of Pacific Point....

...they were a big hit!

Hand Sanitizer Treat

I know I'm way ahead of myself, but this is going to be the goody my daughter gives out for her 11th birthday in April...as soon as I saw this on Erica Cerwin's blog, I knew Maggie would flip over it!  She has a step-by-step tutorial that made this super easy!

Happy Birthday, Ballerina!

My baby is turning 4 this Thursday...I can't believe I just said that!  Here are the mini Hershey bars we gave out at her Princess Ballerina class...the stamp is non-SU! but the paper and inks are SU! Melon Mambo and Pink Pirohette...they were a big hit!

Did some say "Stocking Die"?

Yep...that's the stocking die!  There are mini tutorials all over Splitcoaststampers for this adorable treat holder...the toe is a 3 1/2 in circle with another circle partially cut out and glued on...a heel is cut and the whole thing is embossed (thus erasing the lines of the added 'toe' circle)...I added some light sponging of white ink to the top of the boot (embossed with the web pattern...

This would even be cute for a teacher gift with a gift card sticking out....

My dad would be so proud...

My father, ever the bargain hunter, gave me several (hundred) of these manila colored envelopes...they are too small to be mailed (I think) so I was going to use them to send things into school...but there are so many, my 3 year old would probably be in college before I used them up!

So I saw this idea on Papertreyink's blog, where they used an actually manila folder to create this little pocket for Pixie sticks...isn't it adorable?

The envelope is just cut in half and glued on the one open side..stamped and a little stamped image (here from Booglie Eyes) in placed in a scalloped circle and attached with a bit of ribbon...

So now I'm making over 70 for 3 of my kids to bring in for Halloween!  Can anyone say Christmas treats with candy canes?
