Hello there friends! Welcome to this stop on the Reverse Confetti blog hop!
You should have just arrived from my buddy, Stacey Schafer’s blog! If not, please join us at the beginning and hop all the way through – start HERE!
Our challenge for today’s hop is “ABC Valentine” – which means Anything But a Card! Now, I don’t know about you, but I feel like “Valentine” is synonymous with “Card,” but I’m never one to back down from a challenge. If I can’t make a card, I’m going to share some candy!
I started by using my Silhouette to cut out these cute milk carton boxes. The heart shaped die in the “Puppy Love Confetti Dies” set was the perfect size to cut a heart/hole in the front of each box. I backed the open space with a 2”x2” piece of transparency paper so the candy wouldn’t fall out.
After allowing the glue to dry, I began assembling the boxes and filling them with delicious candy hearts. Then I started working on the gift tags.
I stamped four puppies (three boys and a girl) onto some patterned paper – white with text. Then I pulled out my pastel pencils and added some color to each puppy. After they were colored, I used the coordinating die to cut them out.
Next, I cut four tags with the square tag die (listed below). I also stamped extra puppies onto patterned paper and cut out the bows, attaching them over the white puppy bows.
I added the puppies, the “I love you” paper to the tag bases and tied them to the treat cartons.
I love being able to create fun and unique packaging options for store-bought treats!
Speaking of treats…be sure to check out the special Valentine’s Sale at the Reverse Confetti Shop!

Hi there! Happy Thursday – and welcome to this stop on the Reverse Confetti Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from Stacey Schafer ‘s blog. If you’re just joining in, please hop over to the Reverse Confetti blog to start at the beginning!
For today’s project, I used the “Sugary Sweet Sentiments” stamp set, the “square tag” and “puppy love” Confetti Cut dies to make these little Valentine’s Day treats.
I found these cute heart-shaped suckers and knew they’d be a fun little treat to share with some special kiddos. ;) The best part about it is that the cute tags were so quick and easy to make and they really make the treat special.
I started by creating the tags with the “square tag” die – cut from papers found in Echo Park’s “Fine & Dandy” collection.
I didn’t want my tags to be “traditional” in valentine colors, but I wanted it to be obvious they were for Valentine’s Day, so I added a die-cut heart, with a die found in the puppy love die set. I added a heart to the center of each tag.
The arrows were part of a border sticker. I cut them all apart, then cut them in half, tucking them under the hearts.
Finally, I used versamark ink to stamp the sentiment and black embossing powder to finish it up! I used a simple white ribbon to tie the tags onto the sucker sticks. And now I’m excited to have one little Valentine’s Day project already checked off my list!
By the way, if you love dressing up store-bought treats with a little handmade touch, you’ll definitely want to check out the sugary sweet stamp set – everything from suckers to mints and fish…lots of fabulous ideas and I can’t wait to try something else!

I know the 4th of July is still several weeks away – but it’s never too early to start preparing for the fun! I can’t wait to start filling these treat bags with goodies for the kids to munch on while they are waiting for the fireworks to start!
I just love this beautiful die-cut gate – cut with the Ornate Gate Die by Top Dog Dies. If I had a gate like this, I’d definitely be hanging 4th of July banners on it to celebrate!
The beautiful papers and embellishments are all part of the Americana Collection by Pebbles, Inc.
Have you started making plans for the 4th yet? If not, maybe you could start with these! :)
