You had me at chocolate.....

Today I'm sharing this cute treat box idea I made. Inspired by the test tube-type containers, I made my own short stubby box for pudding cups. I think it turned out super cute!!! Fits perfectly for a great presentation. :)

Tag using My Creative Time Chocolate Greetings dies and 100% Sweetness stamps.

My Creative Time scalloped heart die and 100% Sweetness stamp set.

I used a circle die from the huge Lifestyle Crafts nesting set to find the perfect size. This was really fun to make!!! Thanks for looking. :)

I'm nuts for you, Valentine

I'm nuts anyway, but for this project, I used my first ever Jaded Blossom stamps and the nutty sentiment from the new Funny Valentine set. I love play on words so I just had to have these!

Isn't this nutty squirrel too much!? He's so silly and makes me laugh. He's one of my fave dies but I don't get a chance to use it all that often. He's perfect for this sentiment.

Full view.

Added this sweet sentiment to the top.

{Video added} She thinks I'm cuuuuute......!

As you probably know by now, I love repurposing {formerly referred to as upcycling, originally known as  recycling.} I've never been offended by the term "recycling" so why it had to be changed and then changed again makes no sense to me LOL, but whatever you call it, I've used typical everyday trash to make this super cute pillow box valentine treat holder!! :) And for extra cuteness, added Peachy faces!

UPDATED
Ok for those asking how to make the transformation from tp roll to pillow box, a quick and super simple video! I do this folding on it first, then wrap with paper, and fold again. HTH!!! Have fun making these.

From this....to this!

Finished project:

Slightly modified face from the everyday character faces.

Love the boozie faces!!

Thanks for stopping in. Hope you're having a happy and crafty week!

Bzzzz.....it's a mini desk calendar

Check out my first project with Jaded Blossom stamps! This bee and sentiment are from their newest release, Love Stings. 

I made this for the challenge over at Jaded Blossom. Love this bee, and the sentiment was a no-brainer to use on this calendar for my hubs' desk. He shall be reminded every day for a whole year. Hahaha!!! I used stickles on the antennae and stripes {which I made gold, but they aren't showing very well in the photo, sorry}, and glitter pen on the wings {which also didn't show up. Poo.}  

 I made the simple stand from a cracker box, my favorite source of faux chipboard!

Here is a teensy little mini-vid so you can see how sweet Little Buzzy looks on his wobble. {ohhh...that sounded almost naughty! LOL}
