Welcome! Today, I’ll be sharing three, quick and easy sweet Easter treats 2020 projects. This is a great time to get the kids involved in creativity. The lesson plan could include organizing, stamping, math (ruler skills), and just plain fun.
Ok, are these stinkin’ cute or what? Because I used such happy colors and mix of little Easter themed characters, these are great for all ages Let’s take a closer look at the first of my three Easter treats, the matchbook.
Because this Easter treat calls for minimal supplies, it’s a quick, easy and economical one to mass produce. I’ve used the Full of Happiness stamp set on this one. The set has DisINKtive technology, that’s why you see so much highlighting on the little chick.
Here’s how the magic happens – Matchbook Treat Holder
Matchbook – Purple Posy CS – 2″ x 7″, score on the 7″ side at 1 1/4″, 1 3/4″, 4 1/2″ and 5″
Stamped Images – Whisper White CS – 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, stamp the chick in Daffodil Delight. Color the image with Wink of Stella. Stamp the eyes in Memento Black and the beak in Pumpkin Pie. Stamp the egg in Gorgeous Grape. Scatter stamp the dots in Daffodil Delight.
DSP Mats – Best Dressed Designer Series Paper – one @ 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ and one @ 1 3/4″ x 1″
Next, up we have this super cute bunny from the Welcome Easter set. He’s the star of the show on the 2nd of our Easter treats. By adding just a few more elements, I’ve stepped this one up just a tad. But, I think it would be a great one for the kiddos. Cut a batch of the stitched circles, give them the cute bunny stamp, and watch the creativity bloom.

Got a birthday gathering to plan? Need a sweet little happy for all the guests? Join me today to learn how to create this sweet Wish for it All treat holder.
The Wish for it All Bundle can be found in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. Check it out on page 65. The dies are fabulous and coordinate with a fantastic birthday themed stamp set. In my little happy, I’ve used the color palette of Whisper White, Old Olive, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry. And guess which designer series paper I used. Check out the flip side of the Peaceful Poppies DSP. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
By adding the panels of the striped DSP, I think this box can be used for any age or gender. It’s also large enough to fill with lots of different types of treats. I filled mine with some gummy carrots from my local Dollar Tree.
One of the best parts about Stampin’ Up!’s inks and paper is the color coordination. Because I wanted my ribbon to pop, I just inked up a sponge dauber with my Calypso Coral ink and changed the color of the Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle. Voila!
The coordinating die set in the Wish For It All bundle, has two doily dies. One of the dies is very detailed while the other is solid. That made it easy to cut the solid die in half to create the top to the cupcake. Want to see how to create this sweet little happy. After watching my free video tutorial, I’ll bet you will be creating a batch.
Here’s how the magic happens.
Whisper White CS – 6″ x 12″, on the 12″ side score at 2 3/4″, 5 1/2″, 8 1/4″ and 11″. Turn to the 6″ side and score at 1 1/2″. Trim as shown in the video.

Classroom Valentine treats just got a whole lot easier with my Valentine Pencil Holder. You can find Valentine themed pencils at your local Dollar Tree. They are sold in packages of 12. That makes the treat economical and no worries about food allergies.
The Heartfelt Bundle to the rescue yet again. This is the third Valentine project I’ve created this week. I’ve shared lots of ideas to make your Valentine treat making easy.
The fabulous From My Heart Suite of products is filled with all things Valentine. Did you notice the sweet little heart tins? I used those to bake sweet treats at a recent club party.
Super cute, right? Now you’ve got even more ideas for your valentine. But for now, let’s get back to the quick and easy little Valentine pencil holder.
Using the punches in the bundle to stack multiple images gives this project that little something extra. Let me show you how to create this one.
Here’s how the magic happens.

Wish we could be together swapping chocolates and laughing over candy hearts. But, since we can’t, let’s create a sweet little Valentine Slider Box.
Little Debbie is a great supplier of treats for every holiday season. Valentine’s Day is no exception. If you are on the hunt for the Strawberry Heart Cakes, search no more. I’ve got a link to their product site here.
Could the colors match any better? I’ve used Flirty Flamingo, Real Red and Whisper White for my color palette. My valentine slider box can be created with just one sheet of the Flirty Flamingo Cardstock.
Just slide the box from the wrap to reveal the treat. Because the From My Heart Suite contains so many coordinating projects, I decided to throw those in as well. Be sure to add the sweet doilies, faceted gems and ribbon to your order. You’ll thank me later.
Want to create a valentine slider box? Pick up a box of the Little Debbie cakes and you’ll have enough treats for four gift boxes. Here’s my free video tutorial to show you how easy this treat box can be.

Don’t pass up the Heartfelt bundle, thinking it’s only for Valentines. You can use the stamp set and punches for birthdays, weddings, showers, thinking of you and so much more. By creating the swee bellyband, I had a fabulous opportunity to kick it up a notch with my embellishments.
Not to mention, you just slip it off to get to the goodies on the inside. And who knows, maybe the reciepient will clip off the focal image to use in a scrapbook page or card. I love when we pay it forward.
Open up the box and add even more images from the Heartfelt set as an added surprise. Isn’t that a sweet?
Now your special someone has a cake in a mug to celebrate this special day. So see, you can use the treat for birthdays as well.
Using the punches in the set to stack different papers really adds to the dimension on the bellyband. The heart on the left was punched from the coordinating From the Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper in the suite. The pack contains gorgeous paper with beautiful foiling.
To add a little sparkle, I’ve used the From My Heart Faceted Gems. You just gotta pick up a couple of containers. The gems come in three colors and sizes and can be used on so many projects. Add in a package of the sweet heart doilies while you’re there. I’ve got a video tutorial on my YouTube Chanel.
