Sweet Treat Cups

I love the new Sweet Treat Cups! Here are a few projects I've made with them:


The snow globe is simple and impressive. It's made by adding a small amount of glitter to the treat cup. Then add water almost to the top of the cup edge. Seal it off with a heavy plastic. A sheet protector cut down would work perfectly. Place stamped image behind the treat cup how you'd like it and adhere it to the card. (I know these are pretty crummy instructions, maybe I'll do a picture tutorial!)

I made this fancy favor gift for a friend who turned 50. She loved it!

Jan. Club

Wow, it's been a long time! It's hard to get back into the swing of things after being away so long. Well, I'm back. We had such a great time at club a couple of weeks ago! Knowing that Valentine's day is the next holiday, I wanted to make Valentines. Here is what we made:

This card was made with boys in mind. It really could be a card for any boy on any occasion, I guess that's why I like it!

I love the new sweet treat cups and wanted to show everyone how fun they are. I'm especially excited for the new heart treat cups, but mine hadn't arrived yet so this is what we made.
Teri came up with the most brilliant idea with this card. We were discussing how to get the candy out and she suggested making an "X" in the back of the cardstock with the perforating tool (one of the tools on the cutter kit). Then the recipient just pokes a hole through the X. I hope this makes sense because it makes it so easy! Great idea Teri!!!
