Valentine's Day treats for the teacher at Nicholas' school. I made 40 of these for Teacher Appreciation and delivered them yesterday. Boy did they love 'em! It's so fun to be the one doing all the cute things for them!!
I did basically the same thing as I did for the Halloween Treat Cups using a trap door to open them so you don't have to tear it apart to get the candy.
Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Basic BlackStamp Set: Something Sweet
Accessories: Treat Cups, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, Round Tab Punch,Silver Brads, Paper Piercing Tool, White Organza Ribbon, Mini Glue Dots, Skittles Candy
Real Red cardstock cut 8-1/2" x 3"
Whisper White cardstock cut 2-1/2" x 3-3/4"
Basic Black cardstock cut 2-5/8" x 3-7/8"
Slider:
Basic Black cardstock cut 2" x 2-1/2"
Basic Black Round Tab Punch. Punch with 1/4" hole and insert ribbon
1. Stamp the gumball machine in Real Red ink.
2. Layer it on the Basic Black cardstock.
3. Punch the circle with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch through both layers of cardstock. Trace the opening onto the Real Red cardstock for placement and punch a hole in the front of the card.
4. Insert Treat Cup. DO NOT PEEL THE ADHESIVE BACKING.
5. Apply Mini Glue Dots to the Treat cup between the cup and the cardstock (on the front rim of the cup) to secure it to the paper.
6. Layer onto the Real Red card with Mini Glue Dots in the top corners bottom corners and below the Treat Cup. Be sure you have them on the very top outside corner so you have room to slide the trap door in.
7. Slide the trap door between the red and black cardstock layers.
8. Fill with candy.
