The Newton's Nook Designs Team is hopping along today to share some great Sweet Treats - just in time for Valentines day! Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the whole list and hop along and comment for a chance to win!

I *LOVE* getting ideas for treat gifts, especially during Valentine's season!!

today, I'm sharing a fun way to make some treats with red lollipops!!
now, complete disclosure, I did *NOT* come up with this idea myself, I saw it on pinterest, and then recreated it with Newton's Nook supplies! check it out here!

and then check out my cherry valentine treats below!

love this!
the phrases are from the Sending Hugs stamp set! I die cut out leaves from white cardstock using the Beautiful Leaves Die Set!

I also die cut out those green/gold leaves using the Flower Trio Die Set! I used some white yupo paper and alcohol inks in greens, yellows and golds to create a big sheet of goodness! then I went to town die cutting!

to add the green stems on the 'cherries', I used some floral tape and then wrapped each stick! I love them!

my 8 year old could only wait for so long before he had to snag one! ha!

you're so bow-tiful!

Hi there!

Samantha here, and today I'm sharing a cute and FUN way to make some embellishments with your brand new Sweet Stamp Shop Washi tape! 

Yes, bows!!! Bows are probably my FAVORITE thing to add to my scrapbook layouts, but they're cute as a little pop of color on planners, cards and paper clips! So, let's make some washi tape bows!

Here's what you'll need:

- a scrap piece of white carstock

- scissors

- pencil

- washi tape

And that's all! I know!

First, decide which two kinds of washi tape, you want to use to male your bows! Then, place strips of washi tape onto the cardstock and cut them out.

Next, you will need to do some folding. With your first strip, fold it in half, 

and then fold the flaps in half again, so you have an 'M' shape:

Next, using your pencil, draw a sort of 'bottle neck' shape, and cut out along the lines.

This is the shape you'll see, once you unfold it!

Use your strongest adhesive, and tape the flaps behind the middle of the bow shape.

Then, cut one of the strips of washi thin, and fold it three times to create the little part that goes in the center of the bow, like this:

Adhere it around the center and we're in the home stretch!

At this time, you can either use another strip of either the pattern of washi to create the ribbon parts that are under the bow. 

Fold your desired strip in half, and then, using your pencil again, draw a fishtail banner on the edges and another bottle neck pattern at the folded part:

Cut along the lines. And then unfold. Once it's unfolded, cut the piece in half:

All that's left to do now is to adhere each piece to the bow! 

These are SOOOOO fun to make and once you get going, you can make a bunch in a short amount of time!! I'm totally addicted to making these!

What's your favorite way to use washi tape? I LOVE using strips of washi on the sides of my cards, under photos on scrapbook layouts and in my planner, too!

Be sure to head over to the Sweet Stamp Shop online store to get your hands on the ADORABLE washi while you can!

Thanks again!

Sweet Party Favors

**this is my 2nd post of the day! to see my Newton's Nook Designs Day 3 GIVEAWAY spot, scroll down or click here!**

me again!
today i have a sweet little project up on the Sweet Stamp Shop blog!

These little party favors are super easy to make, too! All I did was pick some of my favorite Sweet Stamp Shop stamp sets and get to work with some pre-made Maze Puzzles that I picked up from Party City for less than a dollar a piece! Score!

I chose to work with the Super Boy, Girl Power and T-Rex Hugs stamp sets!

First, I took apart the puzzles and used the insert to create guides on my paper. Then I stamped the images and colored them with copics!

All that was left was to re-attach the tops and then play!

So that's it! Some easy, fun and unique party favors, ready to go! And you can create this with literally ANY Sweet Stamp Shop stamp set! be sure to head over to the blog to read more about how to make them! :)
enjoy!
