Newton's Nook Designs Sweet Treats Blog Hop

 It's time for the Newton's Nook Designs 9th Annual Sweet Treats Blog Hop and the Design Team is hopping along today to share some great Sweet Treats - just in time for Valentine's day! Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the whole list and hop along and comment for a chance to win! 

Here is what I created:

I created a couple of lollipop holders using the Bookmark Die Set. See's lollipops are a family favorite and I thought it would be fun to dress them up in some Newton's Nook cuteness. To create the holder I used a partial die-cutting technique and cut both ends with the top of the bookmark edge. I used the adorable pawprint patterned paper from the Love & Meows Paper Pad.

The six inch double sided paper created the perfect size holder inside and out. I stamped, embossed and colored up the kitty from the Newton's Heart Stamps and the pup from the Puppy Heart Stamps using Copic markers. I cut them out using the coordinating die sets and popped them up using foam tape. 

Adding the ribbon from my stash through the top slots was the finishing touch.

Here is a video for a tutorial and a closer look at how I created the Valentine treat pockets:

Using the Heart Frames Die Set  and the Smitten Kitten stamps I created some Valentine Cards with a treat pocket on the front.

 For the first card I used the sentiments from the Heartfelt Love stamps to create an embossed background that I ink blended using red distress inks. (Fired Brick Festive Berries, Worn Lipstick) I stamped and embossed the XOXO in gold onto a banner from the Banner Trio Die Set. I also created three more cards coloring up the kitties using a variety of colors! You can find the Copic colors and products I used below.

Stamps- Smitten Kittens, Heartfelt Love, Heartfelt Roses

Stencil- Tumbling Hearts Stencil

Dies- Heart Frame Die Set, Smitten Kitten Coordinating Dies, Banner Trio Dies
