Valentines Treat Ideas featured Sweethearts Collection


Valentines Treat Bags
by Wendy Sue Anderson

 
Hi Doodlebug friends - it's Wendy Sue, sharing a fun little project.  Chocolate is always a great treat to share...but when it's packaged up cute like this, it's so much more than a treat - it's a gift from the heart!


 I used the fun little kraft bags from the Sweetheart collection, along with some patterned papers and doodle-pops to wrap up some little bags of yummy m&ms.


It really is a simple little project, and would be a great one to do with the kids.


Wouldn't these be fun treats for classmates, teachers, or neighbors?


Or maybe they could be fun little treats to put next to the dinner plates on Valentine's Day.


Don't forget to tuck in a colorful doily too - they are the perfect finishing touch!


Chocolate + Doodlebug = Perfect Deliciousness!


Valentine Treat Boxes 
by Aimee Kidd

These sweet little candy boxes are a perfect gift for any loved one, friend, or teacher. They were super easy to assemble and fun to fill with all sorts of little candies. I found the cuts on the Silhouette store and love how they look made from the Sweetheart collection papers and embellishments!


These 2 boxes were made to give to my daughter's 2 teachers. They both are such sweet and wonderful teachers and I know they will enjoy their Valentine's Day gift!

Valentine's Day Countdown by Kathy


 Hi Everyone, Kathy here today to show you a fun project I created to countdown to Valentine's Day!  I got this adorable wired frame to create and Advent Calendar.  Unfortunately I didn't have the time to finish the project before the season.  I didn't want such a fun thing to go to waste, so I decided to create a countdown calendar for Valentine's Day using the super-adorable Sweetheart Collection!

 Since I was only working with 14 days as opposed to 24...I didn't need to use all the space in the frame.    I decided to create a little banner "title" using banner shapes I die-cut, some great Sweetheart papers and stickers and some Sweetheart Twine.

 The Treat Bags were the perfect base for my project, and the perfect size for a little treat. For the rest of the project I just decorated and numbered each bag with lots of little goodies from the Sweetheart Collection!







It's all filled and ready to go!  Thanks for stopping by today and keep checking back for more inspiration from the Design Team using the Sweetheart Collection!

Sweethearts Collection: Layouts by Aimee and Candace


Adore You Layout
 
Hey everyone! Candace here today with a super sweet layout using goodies from the Sweethearts Collection. I did a Valentine's Day photoshoot with my girls last year and I have been hanging onto the pictures, waiting for the perfect scrapbooking goodies to turn them into a layout! 


Since my daughter's outfit is black I wanted to add touches of black in my layout. The little bit of black looked great with the colors in this collection - love how it turned out! 


I made my own title by using a flag die and some of the black Love Letters cardstock stickers, as well as a pretty red heart jewel. 


Some of my favorite embellishments in the Sweethearts Collection are these adorable die cut envelopes and letters!! SO cute! I was so happy with how this layout turned out that it now also functions as Valentine decor in my living room! 

YOU'RE SO TWEET LAYOUT
By Aimee Kidd

Hi Doodlebug fans! Aimee Kidd here today with my very first blog post!! So exciting! Another thing I'm excited about is the new Doodlebug Sweetheart collection! Today I have a layout "You're So Tweet" and it's all about my "tweet" girl and all of the valentines she came home with from school last year. Even though she loves getting the valentines from her friends, she loves giving them out more.


A couple of pieces that I HAD to use on this layout was the sweet little ticket and this adorable heart Doodlepop. I can't stand the thought of creating a Doodlebug layout without using at least one Doodlepop.


Other pieces of the collection that are a fun way to jazz up a layout or project are the doilies, washi tape, and  Doodle Twine.


To make all of the red and pink colors pop I used a piece of the new Chevron sugar coated cardstock which is even yummier in person!
