Valentine Gumball Machine

A while back I bought the mini version of the red plastic cups and knew that they would come in handy. Then one day I saw a version of this on Pinterest and I just had to make my own for Valentine's day.

I had some leftover mini plastic bulbs from last Christmas, which worked perfect so I filled it with some heart candies. Then using the Jaded Blossom Gumball stamp I stamped and cut out what would be the metal part of the machine.  

For the top I stamped and cut out a sentiment from the Jaded Blossom Valentine Candies set and it fit perfectly.

What a fun and easy favor to make for any occasion.

Will You Be Mine??????

Now that all my fun little Valentine's Day treats have been found I thought I would share them with you and enter them into the Jaded Blossom Valentine Treats February Challenge.

I started by cutting out a bunch of toppers with the Jaded Blossom Scallop Slider and Topper and Die then matched them with some patterned paper from Recollections.

For the first one I used this super cute Love Frog from Miss Kate Cuttables and gave him some googly eyes. The sentiment in my love frog's hands is from PBD Be Mine. I also used Jaded Blossom Valentines Candies, Royal Candies and the lips are from one of my Peachy Keen face assortment stamps.

For the second one I cut out the Whale with Waves from Silhouette. I cut out a small piece for a mouth, gave him some googly eyes and added some Stickles in True Blue for his water squirt. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom Under The Sea stamp set and for the nuggets I used the Sea Life Candies.

For the last one I used the Nerdy Owl file from Miss Kate Cuttables. The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Be Mine stamp set. I also added some Google eyes and inked with some Tim Holtz Distress ink.

I think that they turned out super cute and can't wait to make treats for the next upcoming holiday.

Sweet Heart

Hi there, just wanted to quickly share with you a treat that I made for Valentine's Day.

I started by stamping and cutting out some of the Jaded Blossom Valentine Candies set and attached them in the middle of the heart on the yummy heart shaped peppermint patties. Then I placed 5 patties into a 2.25 x 8" bag that I got from Jaded Blossom.

I attached some May Arts Satin Reversible ribbon with Stitched Edge that I picked up my favorite place to get supplies Crafty Capers. I love this ribbon, it's so pretty. Red and Pink perfect for Valentine's Day. I also purchased another beautiful color to play with later :)

With a Spellbinders die and some Recollections Valentine cardstock I made my tag. By taping off the top and bottom of the Jaded Blossom Valentine Treat Tag stamp I used the middle section of it for my sentiment. I then strung it through the ribbon and attached a button.

I love how it turned out. So quick and easy to make.
