Sweet Treat Cups


As soon as Stampin' Up released the Sweet Treat Cups in Australia (in the current Summer Mini Catalogue) I was so excited and stocked up, but the problem was I have had a mental block as to how to use them ever since. Well no more, I was finally feeling well enough to have a weekend of creating, and these were top of my list to use.



I used a 3 x 3 card and Becky Roberts tutorial (see here) for a sliding trap door - that way you don't have to rip it open to get the treats. I added a heart to the front (from the Short & Sweet Stamp Set) stamped in white Staz On.

On the inside I used a stamp from the Whimsical Words stamp set (its a free set available during Sale-A-Bration when you spend $100).

On another note I used the suggestion of my talented friend Debbie, to add some water to my triangle box, I think it looks a lot better (it definately needed something extra).

  2. Love this sweet treat card - must start using mine - you always inspire me to use my SU products - they are made for you!
    Love the addition of water to your box - glad my idea helped - you would have thought of it if you had been feeling in tip top shape!
