Valentine Treats

Hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day!
Here are the goodies that I put into the boxes
that I made for my family.
I started out by putting mini marshmallows
on little pretzel sticks.
I then dipped them into melted milk chocolate.
Then I made Rice Krispie Treats and cut them into
hearts with a little cookie cutter.
I melted some white chocolate and dipped one
side into the chocolate and added a few sprinkles. 
 I also dipped little pretzel sticks into chocolate,
then rolled them in sprinkles, chopped pecans
or coconut.
The last goodie I added was a Chap Stick.
Something they all can use during this cold weather.
These little cello bags that I picked up at 
Hollo's worked perfectly.
I put the bag into the goodie box and filled them
inside the boxes, closed it with a twist tie 
and added the Chap Stick on top.
Hubby got his on Valentine's day, but I didn't
see the others until later.
I don't think they minded at all that they were
a little late.

Thanks for stopping in today.
I hope you'll come again soon,
you never know what you'll find on
Kristie Kreates!

Valentine Treat Boxes

Hi blog friends!
I hope your Valentine treated you well.
I had several people who received treats from 
me this year.
Here is what I put them in.
I found the video tutorials for these on
one of my favorite blogs,
Sam is amazing and does lots of
videos showing little boxes, bags and 
other projects. Love her blog!
Post for each box is linked below.
This is a 4 sided box
I used scrap paper pieces for all my boxes.
Here is a triangle box
I stamped the Swirl Heart and sentiment
and fussy cut them.
Hearts and senitments were adhered with foam tape.
Another 4 sided box
A 5 sided box which I figured the 
pattern and dimensions myself.
And lastly another 6 sided box.
These boxes look like they'd be difficult
to make, but they are really quite easy.
Especially since Sam did all the figuring for us.
Be sure to go to Pootles and check out Sam's
blog, she really is quite wonderful.

I filled these little boxes with some
Valentine's Day goodies, but didn't give them 
out until we are together a couple days after
the holiday.
I hope they liked them as much as I do.

Thanks for popping in to see what I've
been creating.
I'll be showing you what goodies I put into 
these boxes in my next post.
Come back and check it out.
Until then,
