What’s a Happy, you ask? I have a friend that coined that phrase. It’s a little treat holder you create, to share a little something sweet, with friends and family. This time our theme is Easter, and the Wood Crate Framelits to the rescue! For this happy, I turned the little crate into an Easter basket.
When using this die, you’ll need two images. One of the best parts, the die also scores the card stock. I wanted to step it up a notch and ran the images through the Big Shot with the Basket Weave 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It really gave it an Easter basket look and feel.
To finish off the basket, I needed a handle. So, I just cut a piece of Crumb Cake card stock 9″ x 1/2″. Because I wanted to dress it up a bit, I also added a strip of the Gingham Gala DSP.
Don’t you just love the little squirrel holding the sunflower? It reminds me of my backyard. We have very large oak trees and a whole bunch of squirrels. Every Spring, I plant giant sunflowers and they climb the stalks to get to the sunflower seeds. It’s all good, I plant so many, I still have my share to bring inside to enjoy.
I would love to show you how quick and easy this little happy is to create. How about a FREE video tutorial?
Here’s how the magic happens.

Need some quick and easy Valentine Treats? I’ve got just the answer for you. Wouldn’t it be fun to leave a little something something for a friend, co-worker, postal worker, UPS driver, nail technician, hairdresser and so many more? I’ve got some Valentine Treats that you can whip out in no time at all.
First, visit your local Dollar Tree. There are sooooo many cute candies you can dress up and make fancy. The cute little jar and M&M Holder were Dollar Tree finds. The cello bag is a Stampin’ Up! product and they are food safe. Because we sell those in packs of 25, it makes gift giving economical.
OMG, this one is so quick and easy and takes minimal supplies. I used the Labels to Love stamp set for my sentiment. I stamped on Whisper White cardstock, then punched with he 1 3/4″ circle punch. To add a little bit of fancy, I punched a starburst from our gorgeous Vellum cardstock.
That gorgeous ribbon is our Lovely Lipstick stitched ribbon. It ties so pretty and is super soft. You can add any little tag, but this one is a die cut from our Bouquet Bunch dies.
The super beautiful Lovely Lipstick foil paper makes this treat extra special. The treat bag is our 3″ x 6″ gusseted bag. And the foil paper was cut to 3″ x 3 1/2″ and run through the Big Shot with the Tufted Embossing Folder. If you would like to see me create any or all of these Valentine Treats, visit my Facebook WOW NOLA Creations page. I went LIVE, Sunday, January 13, 2019 and created each of these during the broadcast.
Last, but not least, is the cute little M&M Holder. You guys have seen these for every occasion under the sun. But, they aren’t very attractive on their own. Add a little ink, stamps and paper and you have a super cute Valentine Treat sure to WOW anyone!
Need some supplies to create these. Here is a list of everything I used for all three. I would appreciate you shopping my online store.
I’m always on the lookout for cute Valentine treats. Well, when I was browsing the Dollar Tree, I came across the cutest little chocolate frog. Immediately, I thought about the So Hoppy Together stamp set in the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-Bration brochure. That little critter would make a stinkin’ cute So Hoppy Valentine Treat!
OMG, isn’t this the cutest thing EVER? I featured this project on my last Facebook Live. Be sure to join me on Sunday evenings at 7pm (CST) where I share what I love. Everyone that tuned in, asked if I would create a blog post for my So Hoppy Valentine Treat. So, here you go.
Stampin’ Up! is so on trend. There are little frog related items in every store around. Finding my chocolate treat was the first step, then I had to add all the “pretties” to make him special. I needed a frame for this little guy and our new Rectangle Stitched Framelits came in handy. Did you notice the heart he is holding? It reads “Toadilly Yours”.
Because I stamped the frog in Memento Tuxedo Black I was able to use our light and dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to give him some color. It’s really quick and easy coloring.
The Happy Valentine’s sentiment from the Meant to Be set, fit perfectly in the heart. That die cut comes from the Be Mine Stitched Hearts. And all those fabulous leaves were die cut with the Tropical Thinlits set in Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce.
Then on the backside of my So Hoppy Valentine Treat I added a tag. I just couldn’t discard the stitched rectangle that came from cutting the window in my frame for the front of the treat holder. You want to create one now, don’t you? Mine are going to my grandchildren. Who’s going to get yours? How about a FREE video tutorial with step by step directions? Here you go!
Here’s how the magic happens.

Trick or Treat time is just around the corner. Today, I would like to share with you two super quick and easy Halloween Treats. Any little ghoul or goblin will be thrilled to receive either one of these.
First up, did you know we now have those super cute Baker’s boxes in the Holiday Catalog? WOW, and they every super easy to put together. They already have the acetate window and all the scoreline you’ll need. And they are food safe. That is the perfect box for your Halloween Treats, whether they are cookies, candies or donuts.
To create the spider web doily, for this Halloween Treat, I cut four of the spider webs with the die from the Cauldron set. Be sure to back your cardstock with our multipurpose adhesive sheets before die cutting. In that way, you will be creating a sticker that will be very easy to attach to the acetate.
I used our gorgeous Swirls and Curls embossing folder on the Gorgeous Grape mats that cover each side of my Halloween Treat. Our Pearlized Doilies are mat white on one side and very easy to color with any of our inks. On this one I used Granny Apple Green and voila, a Halloween doily. I think this Halloween Treat would be perfect for a teacher, your nail technician, hairdresser or postman.
I thought while I was designing that I would also design a Halloween Treat perfect for all the kiddos to bring to their classmates. Or, if you have a neighborhood block party, these would make you look like super Halloween crafter! But, they are so quick and easy, you’ll whip them out in no time at all.
I used the Toil and Trouble DSP to dress up the front of the treat holder. The cut little detail on the top edge of the Halloween Treat holder was created with our Tag Topper Punch. And did you notice that Spider Trinket on the bow? Yes, we sell those. Would you like to see how easy these are to create. I would love to share my FREE video tutorial with you.

Time to create some Easter treats, bunny style. My grandkids love to give out Nana Happies for every occasion. Sometimes, our schedules are such that we need to create a quick and simple project, that still packs a bang. A Good Day stamp set was my jumping off point and made this project cute, quick, and easy.
I needed to create forty bunny happies and I had a limited amount of time. But, I still wanted them all to be cute and multi-layered with some texture, not to mention special for my grandkids. How was I going to accomplish that? Then it hit me, mass production made easy! By incorporating a few tips and tricks that I’ll share with you in my video tutorial I created and put these together in one afternoon.
See, I told you that I needed to make forty of these guys. My grandson loves orange, so the ribbon had to be Calypso Coral. While my granddaughter loves bling, those rhinestones in the little flowers are all about her and I changed the ribbon color to lemon lime twist.

I’m sure Stampin’ UP! has designed another gorgeous stamp set to go with it.
If you don’t have the A Good Day stamp set, you just gotta add it to your cart. You’ll also want to add the two coordinating scallop punches. That way you can create all kinds of embellishments for all your projects.
I promised you some tips and tricks. In this video tutorial I’ll show you how quick and easy mass production of this project happens.
I’ll bet you’re dying to get these done. Here’s how the magic happens.
Treat Holder – Daffodil Delight CS – each holder is 2 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored on the 8 1/2″ side at 3 7/8″ and 4 5/8″. But, if you are mass producing these, I’ve got a tip to make that quick and easy in my video tutorial above.

Is it Spring yet? I sure hope that season is truly around the corner. Seems like this winter has been a tough one for everyone. Let’s create this sweet Wood Crate Bunny Treat together to kick things off.
Isn’t he just the cutest thing EVER? Our little bunny was create with a technique referred to as punch art. All the little elements were punched from various punches and one die set to make this little guy come to life. Attaching him to the Wood Crate completed this little Easter treat. His ears were cut with the layering ovals dies, while the remaining elements were punched as follows.
Eyes – Basic Black CS – punch 2 using the 1/2″ circle punch
Face – Whisper White CS – punch 1 using the 2″ circle punch
Checks – Whisper White CS – punch 2 using the 1/2″ circle punch
Nose – Powder Pink CS – punch 1 heart – I did use a small retired punch but any from your stash will do.
Tongue – Powder Pink CS – punch 1 using the 1/2″ circle punch
Bow Tie – Sweet Soiree DSP – Punch two sets of images from the Bow Builder Punch
Be sure to very lightly ink all the Whisper White images and the DSP in Smoky Slate.
To highlight the eyes, I used a white gel pen, but a chalk marker would work as well. Don’t you think that little bit of highlighting brought those eyes to life?
And of course our little Wood Crate needed a tag. The Wood Crate Framelits Dies come with not only the die for the crate, but some elements to dress it up and it all coordinates with the Wood Words stamp set. Thanks, Stampin’ Up! The little “for you” was stamped in Marina Mist on Whisper White and die cut with the cute tag die.
