Kid Friendly Crafts – Valentine Treat Holders

Kid Friendly Crafts – Valentine Treat Holders is what we have for you today. I was very fortunate and grateful for being a room parent for both of my kids. Actually, my husband and I were BOTH room parents. I couldn’t have done it without him. When it was a holiday, I loved creating something for my children’s classmates. I tried to create something that would also work with what the teachers were doing in the classroom. These treat holders will do just that!

Supplies Needed for the Kid Friendly Crafts – Valentine Treat Holders Project

A Creative Journey with Melissa I Just Love You stamp set

A Creative Journey with Melissa Sign Language Alphabet stamp set

Acrylic Block

Stapler

Adhesive

Marker

Candy of your choice

Red Ink

Paper for treat holder

Paper to stamp on

This is the Kid Friendly Crafts – Valentine Treat Holders Project that we are going to create! It is perfect for you to create yourself or make it a family project! Simple for little ones to help with too!

To begin the Kid Friendly Crafts – Valentine Treat Holders Project, take out your paper to stamp on, sign language stamps, red ink pad and stamp block. Place your stamps on your stamp block.

Ink your sign language alphabet stamps and stamp them on your paper. Clean and remove your stamps, placing them back on their sheet.

Place your love stamp from your I Just Love You stamp set onto your stamp block. Add ink to your sentiment and stamp your word onto your paper. Clean and remove your stamps, placing them back on their sheet.

Take out your heart stamps as shown above from your I Just Love You stamp set. Ink your stamps and stamp your image on the upper right hand corner of your paper. Repeat for the bottom left corner by moving the vertical hearts above the horizontal hearts as shown. Clean and remove your stamps, placing them back on their sheet.

This is what your Kid Friendly Crafts – Valentine Treat Holders Project looks like once you have stamped your images and sentiments on your paper.

Have your child write their classmates name and sign their name on the tag. I would suggest they use pencil in case they make a mistake. For older kids, using a pen may be preferred.

Take out your treat holder paper. You can choose to fold the paper more or less depending on how much of the treat you want exposed. For the example, I chose to fold it more so less of the treat would show. With this creation, I am going to fold it a little bit less so more of the treat would show.

For this demonstration, I decided to use adhesive to adhere the sides of the treat holder. Place adhesive on either side of the flap. Do not to all three sides or else you won’t have an opening for the treat.

In my example, I used staples. Either way works great. If you have little ones, they may be more excited to use the stapler.

The first time I stamped the word TO with my sign language alphabet stamps, I didn’t press all of the way and I got half of the image. What does one do when that happens? TURN OVER THE PAPER!! In this case, we will be placing adhesive on the back of this paper so we can adhere it to the treat holder.

Place your Kid Friendly Crafts – Valentine Treat Holders Project label on the front of the treat holder.

I chose to use Fun Dip for our treat filler. You can use any treat really however be sure to ask the teacher if any of the students have any allergies. We want to be sure that the treats are all inclusive.

You did it! You created your Kid Friendly Crafts – Valentine Treat Holders Project! How fun was that?! Now for this weeks giveaway, we are giving away two stamp sets.

The first is the A Creative Journey with Melissa Sign Language Alphabet stamp set and

the second is A Creative Journey with Melissa I Just Love You stamp set.

Embossing: Creating Colorful Background Paper

Embossing: Creating Colorful Background Paper is what we have for you today. Using heat embossing and distress ink, you can create amazing backgrounds for any project!

Last week I introduced some of you and reminded others of a simple yet awesome technique, heat embossing.

If you would like to check out the detailed tutorial, please go HERE.  I am so excited to show you the amazing way you can blend different colors to create a custom look for any background! Here we go!

Supplies Needed

I Just Love You Stamp Set by ACJwM

Acrylic Stamp Block

Distress Ink

Versamark Ink (Watermark Ink)

Heat Embossing Gun

White Card Stock

Color Blending Tool

Paper to cover work space or mat

White Embossing Powder

Hand Wipes

Paper Towels

Here is the sample for Creating Colorful Background Paper.

This is a close up of the coloring shades using the distress in for Creating Colorful Background Paper.

To begin, take out your versamark ink, White paper, I Just Love You Stamp Set by ACJwM and your Acrylic Stamp Block. Place your chosen stamps on your acrylic block.

Protect your work surface by using a piece of paper or a mat. Ink your images with the versamark ink and stamp onto your white paper. You will faintly see the image on your white paper.

Take out your embossing powder, sprinkle it on the white stamped paper and tap off excess embossing powder.

Return the remaining embossing powder to your embossing powder container.

For this tutorial, I created three different looks for my creations. These have not been exposed to the heat embossing tool yet.

Take out your heat embossing tool and emboss each of the papers you have created.

You will now be applying ink to begin Creating Colorful Background Paper. Start by taking your choice of the embossed paper, Distress Ink and Color Blending Tool. Apply your choice of distress ink onto the Color Blending Tool.

In a circular motion (I have found this works best) apply ink to your white paper.

This is what the paper looks like once it had been completely colored.

Take out your second color of distress ink and apply it in a circular motion.

Fill in the areas in which you want them to show more of the secondary color also blending it along the way.

Here we completed Creating Colorful Background Paper colored paper using distressed ink.

What you created  you went from white paper to this lovely shaded paper!


Here is a secondary creation using two different colors.

This third creation is using three different distress ink colors.

Here are all of the creations I made Creating Colorful Background Paper with Heat Embossing.

I Just Love You Stamp Set Card

I Just Love You Stamp Set Card tutorial is what we have for you today. This adorable stamp set makes the perfect addition to your card, planner, project life, scrapbooking or any creative project. With Valentine’s Day coming up, it has the perfect sentiments and images to make anyone feel loved. Let’s get started on our card!

The supplies you will need:

I Just Love You Stamp Set by ACJwM

Red and Black Ink

Card base, paper to stamp sentiment and image on and Paper to mat on card base

Adhesive

Acrylic Block

This is what we will be making today. A Clean and Simple (CAS) card using the I Just Love You stamp set.

First you will need to take out your acrylic stamp block , ink, paper and stamps. Place the man and woman image on your stamp block.

Ink your image ensuring there is ink on all areas of the image.

Stamp your image on your paper.

Return the stamps to the sheet and take off the words you will be using. Place them on the block.

To ensure the sentiment is lined up properly, turn your block over so you can see what it will look like once stamped with ink on your creation.

Once it is how you would like it, ink your image on your ink pad. Stamp your sentiment on your paper.

Remove the stamps and return them to your stamp sheet. Take off the little heart from the stamp sheet.

Place your stamp on the block and ink it with red ink.

Stamp the heart on the woman, man and above the j for the word just with red ink.

This is what it looks like once it has been stamped. I like how it looks but thought it would use a little bling or flash to it.

Going into my tool box, I took out my Sakura Gelly Roll clear star pen.

I colored in the three hearts I just stamped. I love how it came out. Simple but gave my creation a little pop of bling!

Here is the full view with the coloring of the hearts.

Now it is time to put the card together. Take out your adhesive and place adhesive on the back of the black paper.

Adhere the black paper to the card base.

Apply adhesive to the back of the stamped paper.

Adhere to the card base.

Your project is complete!
