Valentine's Treat Ideas

[jennpage]

I made a Christmas treat for my youngest's class using hybrid tags. If anyone knows of some cute Valentine's treats using something hybrid please post them and boost my brain. Thanks!

I made these last year - picked up 28 plastic shovels for about $20. Instead of using puffy paint to write "I dig you" (because the paint peels off easily), I printed my sentiment multiple times on clear sticker sheet and attached them that way. They were a hit. My dd still talks about these!

if you're looking for a craft for kids, these could be done using stickers or foam shapes for each one. adults can help tie the candy on the shovel.

How cute that is just a goodie bag tied to the shovel?

[wildblueeyez]

yes...like I said, I tried the whole puffy paint to say "I dig you" on the shovel but it peeled off too easily. You could always print your digital elements on sticker paper, including the "I dig you" and stick them to the shovel.

I also made these (directions are on my blog) that could be done for Valentine's day using Valentine's paper and filled with something small.

Directions (http://livelaughcreate-luann.blogspot.com/2008/12/hybrid-cocoa-pockets.html) - again, you could use real life elements on these or print digital elements onto cardstock or clear sticker paper like the baby one shown on my blog.

I have one on my blog. I would show you a photo but I am on my phone. I had the same project but with a different kit last year. I need to post that freebie also.

LuAnn, I love your idea! :thumbup: If I can get my hand on some of these shovels, I'd love to give your idea a try....Thank you so much for sharing your idea with us!

I have not made these, just found them at the family.go.com website and thought that they might be of interest....They are made using the Pixie Stix Candy, Hearts cut out of Scrapbook paper and a Glue Stick to adhere them....

I was planning to do just do treat bag toppers, but those shovels are way cute and my son's daycare class is small. Hmm...

Here's a little something I made recently using Libby's new Love Shack kit. I just bought the suckers at See's and took apart the packaging it came with. I laid the packaging out flat on my printed digi paper and traced it, cut it out and put it back together with some double-sided tape - SUPER easy!!

We will be using Dani's(I have 2 boys) new ones in the Shoppe this week.

and will be making the little goodie bag toppers filled with stickers, little erasers and....yes, some candy.

My friend made these for Christmas and I was going to modify Dani's goodies to make these:

One year I tied 2 kisses in a plastic baggie and tied them around the neck of a Huggie (drink) with a tag that said "Hugs and kisses from me to you"

[CA Dreamer]

Did you see these? So adorable!

Ans, Sheila, yes I will be sure to post pics! One of my new year's resolutions is to actually take pics of my completed hybrid projects!

wonderful ideas ladies! TY

here is a sneek peek at one of Bree's new projects hitting the store this weekend! It is super easy to assemble and you could even resize the template smaller to make mini treat pockets. ;)
