Valentine Lollipop Treats
Hello friends,
I can't wait to share with you what Deb has been cooking up. I think she has outdone herself with cuteness!! I absolutely love how simple this is, yet totally creative and eye catching.
Today you can learn how to make this in time for Valentine's Day.
This project would be perfect for party favors for a kid's party, bridal shower, celebration, or even game day. Just change out the colors and stamps to create the theme you need.
You can even do this and tuck a Dove chocolate instead of the lollipop. Just don't make the hole for the stick. If you don't want to do candy, you can easily tuck in a mini post it note pad! How cute would that be!
Here's Deb's step by step tutorial. Give her some love by leaving a comment. Us bloggers LOVE comments.

Hello DeNami friends! It’s Deb here today sharing some fun Valentine’s Day treats using some stamps from the latest release combined with some older stamps. DeNami carries so many wonderful Valentine themed stamps that you can easily substitute the images or sentiments while making this project.
For my
project, I created some adorable lollipop wrappers. First I measured my
lollipops to ensure they would be completely wrapped. I used Jolly Rancher
lollipops. I trimmed my cardstock to 3x 2 ¾. Since I was using DeNami cardstock
I simply trimmed it in half lengthwise and then trimmed off 2 ½ inches.
I scored
them down the middle.
Then I
marked a spot half way down so that I could hole punch the center for the
lollipop stick. As it turned out, my crop-a-dile was too short! So I used my
scissors to trim an opening.
I stamped my
focal point using the new Sealed with a Kiss and Sweetie Skunk along with my
other sentiments and images. I added some foam adhesive to attach them to the
wrappers.
Then I
simply slid them into the wrappers. I applied a bit of ATG to one side to make
sure they didn’t slide around.
Then I used
my Tim Holtz tiny attacher to close them. You could also use a regular stapler
or more ATG.
I applied
some ATG to my fingers, just like Nami taught me *wink* and then wrapped it
around the lollipop stick.
I
trimmed some ribbon to about 6 inches and tied a knot around the stick
making sure the ribbon was attached to the stick. Then I trimmed off the
excess ribbon.
This project
would also work great as party favors at a baby shower or birthday party. I hope you have the chance to give this a try.

Valentine's Day Treats
Hello Friends,
Have I got a treat for you! A real treat, a Valentine's one! These are simple enough that you can whip them up and have them ready on that day. You will get all kinds of compliments because people will marvel at how nice they are and you can just smile, knowing you can make them easily.
Lisa P will explain how to make them step by step:
Hello, DeNami friends! It’s Lisa P. and today I’m sharing some Valentine’s Day treat packages using the brand new CL-B121 Sealed With A Kiss sentiment. This sentiment is so sweet and works perfectly with the previously released (and totally adorable) CL-D174 Friendly Seal.

I’ve seen some dies on the market for making treat wrappers and this
immediately got me to thinking about how I could use what I already have to make
my own. Here’s what I came up with.
Step 1: Die-cut two large shapes from double-sided patterned paper. (Note:
The die I used here is the second largest die in the Bubble Box Fri-Dies set
from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.)
Step 2: Score each at 3 5/8” and trim off the scallops closest to the score
line (Note: You’ll end up trimming off about 3/4”.)
Step 3: Die-cut the second smallest Bubble Box from patterned paper.
Step 4: Die-cut the smallest Bubble Box from white cardstock. Stamp the
sentiment and teeny heart onto this die-cut.
To Finish: Stamp Friendly Seal onto white cardstock, color him with markers
and fussy cut him out. Adhere the white bubble box to the patterned paper bubble
box and then adhere the seal. Adhere the two straight-edged flaps of the largest
die-cuts together to create a wrap. Adhere the focal point onto the wrap.
Insert a package of fruit snacks within the wrap and secure with Scor-Tape.
Punch two holes in the top and tie on some baker’s twine to hold the wrap
closed.
After I finished making this one, I decided to try to make another one.
This time around though instead of using large die-cuts for the wrap, I used two
rectangular panels of cardstock (each measuring 3 1/2” x 4 1/4”). I embossed the
two panels to add some interest and then I picked up with Step 2 above. Here’s
how it turned out:
And here’s a look at all of the packages together:
These little packages are so simple to create and could easily be modified
for just about any occasion. I know I’ll be making more of these in the future!
I hope you’ll give it a try too!
Thanks for visiting!

Monster Love Trio
Hello Friends,
Our DT, Deb, created more cuteness for Valentine's Day. I loved how she did the same card in three different color themes. It's a great go-to idea when you need cards and don't have time to create new ideas with each one. This idea is perfect if you want to make cards for guys and gals! Just change out the color depending on the recipient. This card idea is not just great for Valentine's Day, but can be for just an everyday card, you can use a birthday sentiment to convert it into a birthday card, or congratulations sentiment for a celebration. Very versatile and simple.
Here is Deb's description of how to create this monster love trio:

Today I am sharing a clean and simple set of cards that uses only one image and sentiment, but a different color scheme.
For my
project, I used CR02 Monster Love Clear stamp set to create my set of mini cards.
First I trimmed my front panel using one of my Pretty Pink Posh border dies.
Then I stamped the images and sentiments. I layered a colored piece of
cardstock underneath before adding it to the cardbase and then stamping the
final sentiment.
The
versatility with outlined images is being able to color them in with your
choice of markers or pencils to make them masculine, feminine or neutral. I
love that! One of the great things about using the same images but different
colors is that you can do the same for other themes such a birthday or thank
you cards. By repeating the image and sentiment, you can easily create multiple
cards quickly. This is a great idea if you love to give cards as gifts.
If you haven’t begun working on your Valentine’s Day projects, we hope you have found some inspiration to get you started. Thanks for stopping by!

Monster Love Valentines
Hi Friends,
Our DT, Lisa, has been having fun creating a monster sized Valentines cards. What a great job she did with all the colors, layers and cuteness.
Today, She is sharing how to create your own card collection that you can send out in time for Valentine's Day. Enjoy!

Hello! Lisa P here, and today I’m sharing a super sweet and simple set of Valentines I made using DeNami Design’s brand new clear stamp set, CR02 Monster Love. The images and sentiments in this set are totally ADORABLE! I fell head over heels in love with them the first moment I saw them! I kept this project very simple by using a single stamp set and a single layout and just changing up the images, sentiments, and papers for each to get a nice variety of cards.

I kept this project very simple by using a single stamp set and a single layout and just changing up the images, sentiments, and papers for each to get a nice variety of cards.
I had so much fun putting these Valentines together and can’t wait to mail
them off to friends and family. Here’s my step-by-step process:
Step 1: Die-cut 5 pinked rectangles, 5 pinked flags, and 5 hearts from
assorted patterned papers. Cut 5 squares (2.5” x 2.5”) from assorted patterned
papers. (Note: This is a great project for using up some of those patterned
paper scraps that are sitting in your stash. And keep in mind you can use any
shaped dies for the layers. These just happen to be the ones I chose for this
particular project. No dies? No problem. You can use punches or basic rectangles
and squares. No patterned paper? No problem. You can use a variety of colored
cardstocks, and it will still look great.)
Step 2: Die-cut 5 rectangles from white cardstock. Stamp a different
monster image and the word “monster” onto each rectangle. Color the images with
markers. Die-cut some stitching lines at the bottom of each panel. Add a touch
of sparkle with some glitter. (Note: I added some hand-drawn arms and stamped
some hearts for hands onto my first monster to make it look like he was reaching
out for a “monster hug.”)
Step 3: Stamp some of the flags with “Love” and some with “Hugs.” Add a
touch of color with markers. Assemble cards as shown below.
Today’s post focused on Valentines, but this stamp set would also be great
for creating lunchbox notes for your kiddos, encouragement cards, and get well
cards. I’ll be sure to share some examples of those ideas in the near
future.
I hope you enjoyed this post and feel inspired to get crafty!

Puppy Kitty Love Card
Hello
DeNami friends! It’s Deb here on the blog today to share a quick and easy card.
I used some products from the latest release along with an older image. I
absolutely love how Nami creates new images that coordinate so well with ones
from the past!
I inked
up D179 Puppy Kitty Love and colored it in with copics. Then I added my sentiment
from CR02 Monster Love which I also colored using copics. Before I adhered my white
panel to my cardbase, I inked up A85 Paw Print in Versamark for a subtle
background. You could easily use A86 DoggieBone or PF45 Kitty Toys stamp set or even one of the many smaller heart images that
DeNami carries.
The Puppy Kitty Love image is perfect for sending a card to a friend or loved one that is an animal lover and is very versatile. You can easily change out the sentiment using birthday, thinking of you or anniversary type sentiments. The possibilities are endless!

I love Valentine's Day. It's a great time to share your love and appreciation to those around you. Little gifts and treats are a great way of spreading the love around easily and inexpensively.

Super easy to do this.

Unfold creating a ring.
Apply ATG adhesive to your finger and then press ring to the adhesive until it transfers.
You should have a sticky front ring.

Here is the other variation using Scallop Oval punches.
Here it is using the Square Scallop punch. Punch out three and fold one 2 scallops in or just make sure the middle surface is wide enough for your candy. This one is about 1 inches wide.

Optional: Cut off about 1.25 inches from the end or 2 scallops.
Turn over and apply ATG adhesive and press on candy.

There are so many variations you can come up with. You can vary the depth and make them shallower for Post-it Notes. You can also put a mini bag inside and fill with loose candies, like M&M's.
These would also make great little girls' birthday party favors, bridal shower favors, Mother's Day gifts, ladies' luncheons favors, etc.
