Sweet Treats - January Third Thursday’s Blog Hop

Welcome once again to our Third Thursdays Blog Hop! This month, our theme for the hop is Sweet Treats. Everyone on the hop will be featuring awesome projects to inspire your creativity. I’ve listed all of the hoppers toward the end of the post, so make sure you stop by and see what they have to share today! 
Valentine’s Day is less than a month away, so this hop was great motivation to make some cards and treats. I don’t know about you, but I don’t really give “gifts” for Valentine’s Day. I do. however, always need little treats to share with friends, neighbors and co-workers. Today, I’m sharing a card and Tic-Tac holder featuring the Heartfelt Bundle from the Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalog
One of my favorite things about this bundle is that includes two punches! Don’t get me wrong, I love my die cuts, but punches are just super-easy to use. The Heart Punch Pack features two different hearts and the smaller heart layers perfectly over the scalloped heart. Want to know the BEST part? The punches perfectly punch-out the some of the heart patterns in the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper, which is also part of this suite. This paper has beautiful pearlized detail on many of the patterns which adds great detail without a ton of work. 

Color Combo: 

Card Measurements and Details: 
  • Real Red Cardstock - 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored at 4-1/4”

Since not everyone appreciates chocolate, these little Tic Tac’s are a fun Valentine’s Day treat. I found these at Target and I love that they come in the red, pink and white mix. This little holder is super-easy to make, which is great if you are making a lot of them. It opens like a little book and you simply tie it closed with a ribbon. I used two Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the Tic Tac’s to hold them in place on the cardstock. 
Tic Tac Holder Directions and Details: 
  • Real Red Cardstock - 4-3/4” x 3” 
  • On long side, score at 2” and 2-3/4” 
  • Using Detailed Trio Punch, round both corners on front and back
  • From My Heart Specialty DSP - 1-3/4” x 2-3/4” (2 pieces, round 2 corners)
  • Run ribbon around front and back and adhere the DSP over the ribbon 
  • Whisper White Cardstock (inside) - 1-3/4” x 2-3/4” (round 2 corners)
  • Scrap of Whisper White for stamped heart
  • From My Heart Specialty DSP - punch the scalloped heart out from the pattern on the DSP
  • Add From My Heart Faceted Gems
Finally a peek inside the card. I kept it pretty simple with a 1” x 4” strip of the DSP layered over a 5-1/4” x 4” piece of Whisper White Cardstock. I added a simple stamped image and left space for a handwritten note.
