Newton’s Nook Designs 4th Annual Sweet Treats Blog Hop!

The Newton’s Nook Designs Team is hopping along today to share some great Sweet Treats – just in time for Valentine’s Day! Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the whole list and hop along and comment for a chance to win!

I am thrilled to be a part of this Sweet Treats Blog Hop today courtesy of Newton’s Nook Designs! I love little treat ideas (and always seem to need one at the last minute!) so this is perfectly timed.

I have created little peat pot containers before but something about using them for Valentine’s Day seemed perfect for me this year. They are super economical so I just get a package and have them on hand. I used some floral wire to create a handle but you could totally go without one too.

To create this cute little tag, I stamped the heart woodgrain heart from the Woodland Duos Stamp Set with Berry Burst ink (SU) and then cut it out with the coordinating Darling Hearts Dies. The “love” comes from the same die set and is so pretty in this berry pink. To keep it from being too “girly”, I used corrugated kraft paper for the tag. I like how it works with the peat pot too. I tied the tag onto the handle with some Berry Burst ribbon. The joy of this….easy to do in an assembly line for a class or for friends and family!

To fill, all I did was find some candy in a coordinating colors (yeah, I know, shopping with a paper swatch…I’m sure people thought I was a little off). These happen to be chocolate and peanut butter. I barely kept enough for my pictures before my boys were devouring them!! I added some of the berry shredded paper as a final touch.

Very clever, girl! I LOVE that organic feel of the peat pots with your corrugated kraft tag, totally my style! I’m gonna have to order some peat pots myself now! Thanks for the fabulous idea, Jen!

Love the use of the peat pots. Idea I have to remember
and use. the tag on the corrugated paper really works with
the “rugged” theme. thanks for sharing.

ingenious idea to use peat pots – you are so creative – thanks for sharing 🙂

Love this idea. I agree the corrugated kraft is perfect for a more masculine or gender neutral look. I haven’t used peat pots before but it looks like a great and versitke idea. Thank you for sharing!
