How stinkin' cute are these???? OK – so I had this brainstorm late last night. I had to go to Hobby Lobby this morning to drop off my class bulletin board…which should have been there last Wednesday..but that's another story! Anyways, last night as I finished my "Cards for Kids" cards – I thought up the idea of making some Valentine party favors for my Computer Training Downline meeting today. So I picked up some cute suckers, M&M's and floral foam. Rushed home and the cardstock started flying!!!
Do you want the directions to this SUPER SIMPLE box? OF COURSE YOU SILLY WOMAN!!!!
- First I cut my floral foam – it came in a block that was 2 1/2" wide – so I cut it at 2 1/2" and had a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" block.
- Real Red Cardstock cut 7" x 10 1/2"
- Turn your cardstock and score with the 10 1/2" edge at the top of your paper cutter – at 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2" and 10"
- Cut where shown in the photo below – apply a little Sticky Strip to the 1/2" tab and WAAAA LAAAA!!! Embellish as desired!
- Insert the floral foam in your box and cut a piece of cardstock 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" to cover the foam. I punched some holes in the cardstock so I could insert the sucker sticks.
Score with the 7" edge at the top of your paper cutter – at 2 1/2"
I also made the little cards with the Heart Shaped Sweet Treat Cups. I punched various shaped hearts from the Sending Love Designer Paper and sprinkled them all over the table too! All these items made our table a little more festive! We drew names and the winners took them home!!!!
And of course – I had to take a photo!
Thanks for stopping by….
