Tic Tac Valentine Treat Bundle Project

This is a quick project using the Happy Heart single stamp from the Valentine Treat Bundle, with a little more grown-up style. While most of us chicks dig candy, some of us chicks are watching our waistline. Here's a pretty and petite treat that will satisfy the sweet tooth, the diet plan, and the visual senses:

This is a regular size package of Cherry Passion Tic Tacs, wrapped with about 6" of the new 1-1/4" Two-Tone Ribbon in Pink Pirouette/Rose Red, with about 6" of Linen Thread tied around it in a square knot. I used a few discretely placed Mini Glue Dots under the ribbon to keep it from sliding off the Tic Tac package.

You could use more of that beautiful Two-Tone Ribbon and cut some fancy fishtail ends in it if you want, but I used only as much as I needed to cover the label on the Tic Tac package. Keeping the ends straight also made it easier for me to singe the ends of the ribbon with a lighter, to melt them and prevent fraying. If you like the frayed look...go for it ;-)

Just an FYI, I think the Cherry Passion Tic Tacs can be found in bulk single flavor packs online, if you can't find them in your local store. Again, these are the regular size packages (5/8 oz) and NOT the Big Pack. There are also some cute pink Tic Tacs available that would work well with this project, I think their flavor is called Strawberry Fields. You could even use the 1-1/4" Two-Tone Ribbon in Basic Gray/Basic Black with those pink Tic Tacs, and create a sophisticated Pink & Gray favor!

Stampin' Supplies: Valentine Treat Bundle (Happy Heart single stamp), Whisper White card stock, Real Red ink (pad or marker), Full Heart Punch, 1-1/4" Two-Tone Ribbon in Pink Pirouette/Rose Red, Linen Thread, Mini Glue Dots, Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit (use with Big Shot), Daffodil Delight card stock (use in Embosslit), Stampin' Dimensionals (to layer stamped, punched heart onto embosslit heart).

Tic Tac® Howl-o-ween Creeps

Just a quick post to share a little Halloween treat project. These are Tic Tac containers in little boxes, decorated with the Howl-o-ween Creeps stamp set. I limited myself just to the images in the stamp set. The top has to open up so the recipient can open the Tic Tac container, so the Frankenstein and Witch images are adhered to the flap, then they secure the box closed with a little Velcro dot underneath. The ribbon, greeting, and the peekaboo hole in the back are all just little extras...you could easily leave those off to create these in bulk, but they wouldn't be as cute!

The pictures are all the same two treat boxes, just different views of the back and front of each. I used the orange flavor and the spearmint flavor Tic Tacs inside, because they are probably the easiest to find. There are some wintergreen ones that are a little lighter green, which would also work great. Please see the link below for the pattern, and see this related post for more tips and suggestions. For example, I removed the date stamp from the Tic Tac container with StazOn Cleaner so the markings would not show through the peekaboo hole.

Tic Tac® Box (Regular Size 5/8 oz pkg)

This container is for the regular size Tic Tac packages, the ones that are 5/8 oz. size. This box makes a cute little purse pack, just put a little velcro tab under the front flap to keep it closed. The Tic Tac package is not adhered to the box, so you can use the box over and over by putting a new package of mints in the box. These make great stocking stuffers, party favors, or treats for co-workers.
