Valentine Projects from Snow Days

For Alex's preschool class, I picked up some Hershey bars and made wrappers.  Yes, that's not exactly creative, but the wrappers came out cute.

Since the class has all 3 year olds (wait, I think one girl is still 2), I wasn't sure if I would offend anyone if the wrappers had XOXO or Be My Valentine-type sayings.  So to keep it toddler/preschool friendly, I went with hapBEE Valentines! :)


I created the words on my Gypsy using Alphalicious and the rotating & welding features.
The bee is from Create-a-Critter cut at 1.5" (except the teacher's bee, which is approx. 2").
Random hearts were cut from different cartridges at different sizes.
The red wrapper was embossed using my Cuttlebug
.

So after I finished with the wrappers, I asked Adolfo if he wanted to give any Vday treats to his employees.  He said yes!  (How sweet.)  So I decided I would put candies inside of some boxes or containers for each person.  Perhaps I can send him with some cupcakes or cookies too.  For the candies, I gave him three options (BTW, since I am making proto-types, the designs are not with the stock I would use and none of them are embellished):


Option #1 is a puff box. The Gypsy cut file is courtesy of MAGOO, a very creative and generous blogger.


Option #2 is a pillow box wrapped in ribbon.  A great way to get rid of the rest of this spool I have! :)


And Option #3 is a sour cream container.  I made a white one and one to get rid of some cardstock I had laying around.

Which was his favorite?  The sour cream container!  I also offered to make several of each type and everyone could choose one of their own.  He thought that was a good idea too.

So which do you like best?

Thanks for reading!
