Sweet Treats for Fall!!

Howdy! Hope you're having an awesome week! I'm doing well and crafting up a storm. So many things I want to make and share this time of year. I'm spending a lot of time in my studio. Another round of organizing... It's getting hard core now! LOL. I feel like you have to do it a few times to get rid of everything. Right now it feels so good in here! I had to find a place to put my small (but growing) yarn stash, and my stitching... I'm tired of having old things that I never use. It's brutal to get rid of it, but there's no longer a choice. I must admit, I feel more creative now that I can 'breathe' in here! And now there's room for a friend or two to come over also. Tomorrow our heat wave will break and it's going to be in the 70's. YES! Bring on all the Fall things. I'm ready for sweaters! Haha. I hope you're doing great, and getting crafty!

Today's project was in my brain for a long time! I finally bought all the supplies and I had a blast making these adorable sweet treats! They came together easily and it was a fun process too. I love that they are totally customizable... So I'm sure I'll be making more for Valentine's Day! (But let's not get ahead of ourselves)... All the supplies to build the structure of the treats are from My Favorite Things. I did lots of photos to show you how they work! Let's get started! Sweet Fall Treats!

 

Aren't they cute??? I'm so excited to finally get this idea out of my brain, and onto the craft table! Yippeeee! The paper pad I used is from Doodlebug and it's called Flea Market. Unfortunately it's no longer in stock anywhere. It's a few years old. When it came out, I bought five pads!! LOLZ. I knew I would love it forever. Hahaha. Yes, I'm a paper hoarder! The brown ribbon is from Papertrey Ink. All the other supplies are listed at the bottom of the post in the supply links.

 

Here's a close up of one of the treats! It's two tags glued back to back, with the Nugget holder sandwiched in the center. I used Almond Hershey's Nuggets since the wrappers are gold and it looked nice with the warm Fall colors. The Tag die is a separate die that you can use with all kinds of projects. Then you add on the Nugget Label Dies that have the frame and the opening, the wrapper part and the back part. It's really genius.

 

The Sweet Celebrations stamp set matches with the treats. I love this stamp for the back! It's definitely an emergency when chocolate is involved! The recipient can pop open the back without destroying the entire thing. I love it! 

 

 

 

These next shots show the process.... First die cut tags. Two for each treat. You can get six tags from one sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper. I used Lawn Fawn Kraft Cardstock.

 

Use the included dies to die cut the opening in the top tag and the perforated part on the bottom tag. It's so easy!

 

This is what the Nugget Pouches look like. They perfectly fit three Nuggets inside.

 

There is also a die that PERFECTLY cuts out a strip to wrap around the Nuggets! I love that!!! I was able to cut three at a time from the patterned paper. Simply wrap the paper around and add a dot of glue or adhesive tape runner.  I used embossing ink and some cute little leaf stamps to add some leaves to the top part. 

 

So I have to admit that I ate a few!!!! But they're so cute all lined up and ready to put together!

 

I used a glue pen to put the two pieces together because I thought it would give a better hold. You insert the candy into the pouch, and then that part gets sandwiched in between the two tags. 

 

I slipped the brown ribbon through the top and then tied it with some natural twine. 

 

I used brown ink to stamp the sentiment onto the bottom of the treats. The little enamel shaped leaves are from the same Doodlebug Collection called Flea Market. 

 

 

 

Perfect for giving and sharing! I love that you can customize these in ANY colors for ANY occasion! I'm thinking baby showers, graduations, Halloween, birthdays and of course Valentine's Day! The possibilities are endless.

Thank you so much for popping by today! I hope I've inspired you to create! Have a blessed and beautiful day! CLICK HERE or on the graphic below to see the supply links for today's project. (Affiliate Links Used). Take care! XOXO

I adore fall colours and the nugget treats are sooo cute! I have the MFT lip balm dies and definitely need to add the nugget ones to my collection.

I brought these as a project for my paper crafting club to make for Valentine's Day, and they were a huge hit! Thanks for inspiring me to use the nugget tags at other times of year. Happy Fall!

I can see why you bought 5 packs of that gorgeous paper. Such great colors for fall. I think these would make great holiday table tags. I have seen the dies and containers but didn't purchase. Might have to reconsider. Love those sweet leaves...

So cute. Would love to see a craft room tour, especially how you store your 6x6 papers, as I too am a paper hoarder and an everything craft hoarder. I need to purge!
