Butterfly Pops

Hello everyone! It's time to get those Valentine's goodies created. These Butterfly Pops are great for a quick and easy way to pass out those Valentines! Easy for the kids to help and put together assembly-line style!
 

While thinking about my design, I kept in mind that whoever received these treats are going to head straight for the candy. So, keeping it quick and simple was a must.

Here's how:

1. Die-cut Butterflies from White Pearl Shimmering Cardstock.
2. Trim strips of Pink Pearl Shimmering Cardstock. Stamp LOVE sentiment with red pigment ink on pink cardstock strips, then heat emboss with red glitter embossing powder. Trim ends with decorative scissors.
3. Place sucker on top of butterfly. Thread ribbon from behind the butterfly, through the wing holes, and bring round the front of sucker. Secure by tying a knot and/or bow.
4. Add rhinestone sticker on top of bow.
5. Adhere sentiment tag to stick. 

TIPS: To personalize each treat, write on the back of each sentiment tag before adhering to the stick. You can also use fun pencils in place of the suckers!

Wouldn't these make a great party favor?! Change up the colors and sentiments for variety.

Happy crafting!

Crafter's Companion Slip Case Gift Box

Happy Monday friends! Here's another project I designed using The Big Score Board from Crafter's Companion. This project was also shown this month on Home Shopping Network (HSN)

This box is called a Slip Case Gift Box. It's one of the many great projects on The Big Score Video Project CD-ROM. This slip case box is made using Crafter's Companion Construction Cardstock and The Sweet Treats Cardstock Pack. Both cardstocks are premium grade heavy duty cardstocks and are prefect for making sturdy boxes and projects. I love how this box can be used for all sorts of gift ideas!

I have a friend who makes the most fantastic smelling and burning candles - called Armoatopia. Aromatopia candles are hand poured in reusable/recyclable mason jars using natural soy wax, premium fragrance oils, and eco-friendly cotton core wicks. The soybeans used to make the wax are grown right here in the USA. I love supporting our local peeps :)You can buy 'em online HERE.

This box would also be wonderful for homemade jam or a single cupcale! I'm sure you will come up with all sorts of other great ideas. Here's a screen shot I took during the HSN show when my box was being shown. I was grinning ear to ear...

Thanks for stopping by today. Happy crafting,
