The 1/8" Cellophane Bags in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog make an adorable Valentine treat. But, you do not have much time to order them! They are a limited-edition item from the 2011 Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog and available to purchase only until January 3, 2012.
Need just a little more temptation? You get 50 of the cellophane bags for only $2.50! Again, only available until January 3, 2011.
Every year the teens at church make favors for the Valentine's banquet. The 1" x 8" Cellophane Bags were irresistible not just the low cost of the bags but how little it will cost to fill them and small amount of work to make the toppers. Talk about a winning combination when making 100 favors!
The 1" x 8" Cellophane Bags were filled with heart-shaped Red Hot candies. How cute is that? Affordable and will make for a nice treat after the meal.
The topper is made with a 2" x 4" piece of Real Red Card Stock scored and folded in half. The background paper is Real Red from the Brights Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack. If you are quick enough, you can pick up six sheets of Real Red and six sheets of Pretty in Pink packaged as Love Patterns Designer Series Paper for only $1.99 in the Clearance Rack! The special packs of red/pink are available only while supplies last. If the Love Patterns packs are sold out, you can purchase the Real Red background paper as part of the Brights Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack to make the Valentine treat above.
The size of the Real Red background paper is 1-3/4" x 1-3/4". We will be able to get 36 out of one sheet of 12" x 12" background paper. We will easily be able to make the 100 with three of the 6 Real Red background papers. We will lots of Pretty in Pink leftover for the following year's favors. I'll be thinking pink.
The hearts are from the Stampin' Up! I Heart Hearts stamp set. They were punched out with the Stampin' Up! Heart to Heart Punch. See, I told you these are easy to make! I did put a Stampin' Dimensional behind each of the stamped and punched hearts. The added dimension adds a lot to this sweet and simple project.
The hardest part of this project will be not eating too many of the Red Hots. If you would like to make some Valentine favors, or have thought of another project you'd like to make with the 1" x 8" Cellophane Bags, order them in my online store before they are no longer available!
