While it may be a little late to make these for Valentine's Day for a teacher, you can definitely make these for someone just as deserving! And you can make them with other things, like kit-kats or chocolate, but I used the small boxes of conversation hearts since everyone loves them and you can't get them any other time of year (unlike peeps!).
Ben likes blue, so we used the new SAB paper bundle, Designer Dots, to create his wrapped goody. I cut the paper 7 x 7 which fit pretty snug, but saved most of my paper for other projects. I put some sticky strip on the ends (best done before enclosing goody as it's hard to get your fingers in there!), pressed closed, then crimped with our crimper. Next, I put a bashful blue belly band around it, added the scalloped saying from Love you much in whisper white, bashful blue, and brocade blue punched with the scallop punch, 1 3/8 inch and 1 1/4 inch circle punches. Very simple, but packs a punch (or should I say, some heart???).
Grace really liked the flowers in the Bella rose Designer series papers, so we went with riding hood red and pink pirouette as our color scheme. The same idea as Ben but we substituted colors.
I just love how they turned out and I know I'll be making more of these (wouldn't Ghirardelli chocolates be perfect for this?). What did you make for teacher treats? I'd love to hear from you because it seems there's always another reason for giving! And make sure to check back early tomorrow - I will post a recipe for my FAVORITE cappuccino recipe. YUM!
Wish shoe stampin' fun!
