A Treat for the Tastebuds and the Eyes!

Can you tell I have spring fever? Today, I’m working with another green-centric color combination of Key Lime, Olive, Heavenly Blue and Crème Brulee. In addition to some great cards, I’m also sharing some sweet treats, Close To My Heart style.

I know that Consultants and customers alike love saving the craft tubes that our ribbons or Just Blooms come in and repurposing the tubes for other projects. And if you ask me, they’re the perfect complement for apple rings, mints, and other colorful treats. Add a little ribbon and a stamped lid, and you have a really fun “Treat Tower” great for a favor, a teacher gift, or a thoughtful thank you. And while you’re in the kitchen, why not dress up a batch of cupcakes with adorable toppers or make a handful of chocolate coins glitter with possibilities. It’s the stamper’s pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

    Jeanette, thank you for adding a smile to my day! What cute ideas! With all the turmoil in our lives right now- such as a nephew who is a Marine in Afghanisan, it is so nice to have something fun to look at and think about! Thanks again.

    Jeanette thank you so much for your awesome ideas! Without you and your layout books my pictures would be sad and lonely waiting to be scrapbooked! I've been able to do so much more this way! Those treats are adorable, I'll have to use them, and I'll have to buy more ribbons and flowers so I can use more!! Ok, time to stop sloppering over you!

  7. Might we see some type of tube in an upcoming Idea Book for us to decorate. Then I could quit hoarding - I mean saving for good - the ones I have!

    Super cute and thank you,

    Mary

  14. Such cute projects! I admit I was quite skeptical at first of putting Olive and Key Lime together. I never would've put those two colors of green together. Of course, they ended up looking fabulous together! I made a card and it's on my blog. www.missioninkpossible.blogspot.com
