Valentine Pencil Treats


I have a theme going this week of showing non-candy valentine treats. I had made some Halloween pencil treats back in October for a craft fair. Of course when I stopped at the dollar store and spotted these cute pencils I had to buy a pack.

Again I am featuring the paper and stamp sets from the Filled with Love promotion. If you purchase this bundle (stamp set and patterned papers) you receive a free pack of bitty buttons valued at $4.95. The patterned papers are Real Red and Pretty in Pink so I made a pencil treat using both colors.

I surfed around for a tutorial and landed at youtube where I found a tutorial from Kerry's Paper Crafts - youtube name pantala40. I am all about the visual tutorials these days. These are very easy to put together even if you wanted to do one for each classmate if you have school aged kids. Kerry's sample had one pencil and a lollipop so that is another option for this treat holder.

Supplies:
Stamps: Filled with Love
Ink: Pretty in Pink & Real Red
Paper: Whisper White cardstock & Love Patterns DSP
Other: Love Impressions Rub-Ons, Whisper White taffeta ribbon, 1" circle punch, Oval punch, Oval scallop punch, Decorative label punch, sticky strip

  1. hi Christine,
    I just read your comment on our blog (stampinginbedford) and found your blog which I have added to my favorites so I can visit often. I love all the ideas you have posted here. Very clever. Will see you at Selene's maybe in May.
