Sweet Treats Blog Hop

It's our 5th Annual Sweet Treats Blog Hop!

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!

For my stop on this hop I created a fun set of cute pockets to hold Pixy Stix:

I knew I wanted to make something fun featuring the cute owls from our new  Love Owl-ways Stamp Set. These owls are so cute for Valentines! I colored the images of the owl with the box of chocolates and the owl carrying a love letter with watercolors. Then I trimmed them out using the Love Owl-ways Die Set to add to my project. 

To create the fun treat pockets I started with a piece of paper that was 8 1/2  inches tall by 3 inches wide. I scored and folded it to make into a fun pocket, leaving a tab on each side on the the bottom section to allow for a spot to glue the front to the back. I created two pockets like this. Then I used our Tumbling Hearts Stencil to decorate each one with hearts. On the kraft colored pocket I used dark brown ink and on the red colored pocket I used white ink. 

I die cut a tag to add to each one using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. I also used the tiny scalloped border from the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set to add the white scalloped edges on the top of the pocket and on the back of the treat holder. I stamped sentiments onto the tags using our  Love Owl-ways Stamp Set and scored them so they wrapped around to the backside. I added some bakers twine to secure them in place. Then I added on the cute owls with some dimensional tape. 

Hope you enjoyed this cute Valentine project today. The next stop on the hop is Amanda Bodine! Make sure you hop through all the blogs below and leave a comment for a change to win :)
