Hello Everyone,
Yesterday was my husband's work party. He needed 40 treats for his co-workers. This year I decided to try an idea from another demo. Angie made these treats with Kit Kat Bars. I chose to use Kit Kats and Reeces Christmas Trees. Steve loves Reeces Peanut Butter Cups so choosing the trees was a simple choice.
Thankfully these treats came together in less than an hour! I think this was the quickest year yet! Whoo Hoo!
Happy Holidays!
Merry Stampin',

Hello Everyone,
Halloween is just around the corner. Here are a couple of quick treats. I used these cute little containers to showcase some festive candy. Then added rome ribbon around the top and added the sentiment on the lid. Too simple.
For this project I used the Batty For You Stamp Set and the 1 3/8" circle punch, and scallop circle punch. I added the white gel pen dots to each scallop.

Hello Everyone,
Merry Christmas! Wishing you all a wonderful day.
These are the little treats I made for my Mom's work gifts. They were quick and simple. She had Ghirardelli chocolates and all she needed was the toppers. So I made 20 for her to pass out to her teacher friends at work. Due to the snow all classes were canceled this week so this will be an after Christmas treat. Each holds 2 chocolates in the small cellophane bags.

Hello Everyone,
Here are the little treat bags I made for Steve's co-workers this weekend. Every year the number to make rises. This year was 50. I finished making them and had left over designer paper. I decided to make extra 4x4 cards. I ended up with 22 extra cards. Woo Hoo! They will come in handy. Actually, they already have. I sent some to all the new card club members. The rest I will most likely make as thank you notes. Its always good to have cards on hand.

Stamps Sets: Sparkly & Bright
Ink: Real Red, Old Olive, Real Red Marker, Yo Yo Yellow Marker
Cardstock: Merry Moments Designer Paper, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Key Tag Punch, 1 3/8 Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Dimensionals, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Glue Pen

Last year my husband took in a treat similar to this one. Everyone loved the Ghirardelli chocolates so much he wanted to do that again. Each bag contains 2 chocolates assorted flavors and a mini candy cane. (I already bought the candy before they introduced the new peppermint one, need to remember that for next year!) The bag toppers were created with the Big Shot. I made over 50 of these Top Note Toppers with the Ski Slope Designer Paper. The stamp was punched out with the matching punch and adhered to the front with a dimensional. So Simple! So Quick...well for 50 of them!
Steve should pass them out next week. He loves to be able to give everyone a little something. Not stretching the budget to far with holiday gifts.

Some of you may remember that my Mom is a 1st grade teacher. This year I used the retired supplies I had left over from last year to make her treats to hand out to the teachers in the school. Here is what I came up with. I still love this Purely Pomegranate and Wild Wasabi. You could always swap these Retired In Colors with the New In Colors Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss.
Recipe:
Stamps: Season of Joy
Ink: Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi
Cardstock: Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White
Accessories: Dimensionals, Purely Pomegranate Double Stitched Ribbon, Crimper, Sticky Strip
One of the teachers likes to chew gum so here is her treat. I just took an Eclipse Gum wrapper and unfolded it. Marked off on a piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock the same size as the unfolded Wrapper where the score lines should be and then scored and sealed the Wild Wasabi cardstock. Usually I would have the gum pull out with the ribbon but this time I tied it around the Wild Wasabi Cardstock. Just liked the look of it. The second picture below shows what I mean.

How many of you give a holiday gift to your child's teacher?
I grew up with a Mom who is a 1st Grade teacher. She would come home with special gifts from the majority of her 30 or more students. Gifts ranged from candy, bath soaps, candles, tea, gift cards, and handmade items from her students. She always felt wonderful receiving these gifts but many of the items were duplicates or went unused. Wouldn't you like to know your child's teacher really used her gift? Here are some suggestions:
Teacher's Pet Stamp Set pg 80: (111554) $18.95 She will have this set for a lifetime!
ADD your child's favorite color stamp pad to go along with the stamp set. Stamp Pads are $5.25.
Dress it up in a handmade gift bag! Here I used Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper and Stampin' Up! Gift Bags.
A little candy...
Blank Birthday cards and Thank you notes for teachers to have on hand.
Or create a coaster album with designer paper. Addyour child's picture and pictures of his/her classmates and create a lasting memory for her.
One year my mother's class gave her a patchwork quilt with each student's handmade square. It is a treasured blanket in her house. Even her grandchildren use it! I hope this inspires you to be a little creative with your gift giving this year!
To purchase any items above click here to go directly to my SU! On-line ordering.
Here are some more festive ideas:
I've been Punchy!
Peppermint Pattie Sandwiches
Angels ornaments/tags were made by using the 5 petal punch, scallop circle punch, and 3/4 inch circle punch.
Spiders were made using 1/2" and 1/4" Circle Punch, Photo Corners, and Scalloped Circle Punch.
Eyes- white gel pen.
I have cased a bunch of different people for all these ideas. I just loved them all! Thanks, Tammy Howell- Angels, Julie Case-Spiders, and Rochelle W-Gingerbread jar.
