Valentines Goodies + A video tutorial!
Hi everyone - thanks SO much for all the comments you’ve left this week. I read each & EVERY comment - especially the ones that contain things you’d like to see more of on the blog. (sidenote: you have ONE DAY left to leave a comment HERE if you haven’t already…for a chance to win a prize!)
I’ve already started acting on some of your feedback - so with that, I give you some fun Treats for Valentine’s Day - plus a video showing you how I made them!
These are great because you can stick anything inside them - and adapt them to ANY holiday or occasion. I had a few people say they would like to see things that are more practical - things that can be used…instead of just candy. This sort of combines the 2. I had some fun pencils lying around so I thought I’d find a way to creatively wrap them up as a fun little gift.
And to respond to even MORE awesome feedback from my readers, I thought I’d whip up a “boy version”. These are some robots from both Cosmo Cricket (paper) and Hero Arts (stamp). What boy doesn’t love Robots!?!!
I added a wooden heart from Martha Stewart to give it a small Valentine’s touch…but nothing too girly. (the Robot was colored using Copics). The pencil has motorcycles on it. Very “boy”.
OK, here’s the “how to” video! If you can make it through listening to my corniness…then I give you credit. LOL. I HATE listening to myself on these videos, ugh!
You sound perfectly fine on the video. Your directions are very clear and it will make it easy for us to follow along and make some of these darling treats.
Thanks for sharing.
really good idea! Love how it can be adapted for other occasions!
I thought those were a really cute idea. I’ll have to scraplift those! You sounded great to me while making the video…I’d be like that too…saying this is my fave…and that…oh and this…did I mention I really like these…LOL
Thanks for sharing these.
Really great idea! Thanks for sharing this - and, BTW, my favorite tool is the one I happen to be using at the moment too!! I also like the look of the MS score pad (I have ScorPal and use it constantly!) - will check the MS one out!

Very cute! I had been looking for a kid’s valentine that would be easy to mail and this looks like it.
Thanks for sharing it!!
Sooooo cute! I love making valentines goodies, I am in looove with Paper Trey Inks Valentine Treat Stamp set, it is sooo cute. I even called in to work a couple days so I could create like crazy (Maybe I am crazy) Anywho I love the fact that you have such a messy area, I don’t see how any greater crafter can not be messy and still know exactly where everything is! These are super cute, love your work, have a great weekend!
Wish you were my friend! You sure know how to make one smile.
I just love it!!! There are too sweet and girly, two thing that I love so much. The Martha Stewart’s paper and embelishments are very cute and the papertray’s ribbon matched perfectly. Also, I like the heart pencil and the lollipop is too cute for eat ;). Greetings from Mexico, Liz
Those are the cutest but I haven’t seen any of your crafts that looked bad! Love your choice of colors and the clear simple lines. You sound perfectly fine and your directions are clear. Keep ‘em coming!
And now you are making me want one of those MS score boards although I have the Score something I forgot what is called LOL but All my tools are My favorite too, my DH is like didnt you say the other one was your favorite! LOL I have so many of the same tools.. let me tell you. Thanks for sharing your talent!
WOW! I love your blog and these valentines/anytime gifts are easy, cute and fairly budget to make in this credit crunch era! Thanks so much xxx
I wish I had all your “Favorite” tools in my craft room. I’m putting them on my birthday list. As always, I loved the video. You always do a great job. No worries! I’m going to try this Valentines Day project for my Son’s upcoming classroom party. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the great work!
You always have the best ideas! These are so cute and I can’t wait to try them! I love my Martha Stewart scoring tool - I also never had the scor pal and now can’t imagine not having a scoring tool. I laughed out loud at you trying to get the envelope template put back - it took me forever to figure that out!
This is really a cute idea and i`m gonna save it, even though my kids are all grown, but i do have a grandson gonna be going to school soon lol…..
Just wanted to let you know that i`m following you on twitter
and i have hearted you on etsy, thats were my shop is also.
I just LOVE these. I’m going to have to CASE them! TFS
These are really cute and adaptable to other holidays as well. I teach school amd am always looking for unique things to give my students.
Love these cute treat holders. Don’t have little kids who hand out Valentines any more, but I make and give them to my teacher friends at school.
I just found your blog and let me just say… I am inspired!! You are very talented
