Tiny Treats

I love Valentines day.. but I've gotta be honest here... When it comes to Valentines treats for my girls' classes, I don't make any. WHAT??? Oh... no... not because I don't want to... THEY WONT LET ME! They, being all girls, want to make them themselves! My part usually consist of designing them and getting everything ready for them. This year I came up with an easy and cute way to mass produce over 130 valentines. But you don't need to make that many if you don't want to... you just can! AND, I'm really excited to be using Papertrey Ink's Tiny Treats stamp set! (being released December 15th)

Here is the little pattern that I will be using today. Feel free to use it for personal use, not for classes, and I would really appreciate a link back if you use if for your blog posts. Download Envelope treats pattern 

  

Here are a few tips when using this pattern/template...

• Chose "none" for page scaling and it will be a perfect fir to Papertrey Ink's 8x8 patterned paper!
• Print directly onto cardstock. (you can see that below)
• Print onto printer paper and trim to use as a guide template.
• Print onto printer paper then adhere Papertrey's 8x8 patterned paper, pattern side down, on the square. Re-print on that same paper. (this can be a tricky thing for some printers so you might have to experiment a little.)

So here are some of the supplies prepped for the valentines. This is about 5% of what I would need... but gives a good little example. Heather's new patterned paper is super fun!

I used a scoring tool and folded the envelopes. A little Zip dry on the seams secured it really well. I used a little drop to close the top flap.

Check out this little bunny... Oh SO CUTE! Minimal coloring with Copics... a little grey and pink did the trick.

 

Here is the little pup that Nichole peeked on her blog. He is so snugly and adorable... super easy to use. Aren't those hearts from Background Basics: Hearts fun! They are a great size for treat packs.

And finally the super sweet lemons! Brilliant image! I again pulled out my Copic markers.

Fun scalloped trims and little ribbons and buttons add so much.

  

Now as far as what I put in as a treat...These are called Good and Fruity (they are like Jelly Beans). The girls can fill up each little envelope. They can also slip in a personal note. Other ideas would be: Gum, treat size Airheads, Laffy Taffy, Starbursts, Mini Hershey Bars.... SO many possibilities! I love that the girls will have choices and enjoy making these for valentines day!

Ok... So this great little Tiny Treats Set has a lot of versatility in the mix! Here is a quick cute friendship card I made with the little cat and pup image.

                           

I pulled out the little paw image from the With Sympathy: Loss of a Pet stamp set. I thought it was a great companion image for this card.

                               

A Puuuurfect card for any friend...a pet loving friend... or even a friend who you love but don't have tons in common with.

Very cute :) These are great for the little mail boxes our children have for sunday school. I may make some for gold coins Christmas treats! Thank you so much for sharing your template!!! Merry Christmas to us readers!
I love how you shadowed the bunny rabbit. Those Copics, they sure are nice. I am affraid to buy even one because I am sure I will get hooked. So funny to be thinking Valentines right now. But when you have to make an assembly line of cards best to start early!

So cute!! I just love your cards. How do you ink the edges of your cards - with a dauber or running it directly on the pad? You always get the perfect effect with it. Thanks!
