Great Friend M&M Treats

I am off to convention today!  I’m so excited!  I hope my flight goes well.

While I’m gone I’ll be sharing my swaps with you  on my blog.  I’m going to start with these little M&M Treats.

I have made these little treats before for Easter, St. Patrick’s Day and some summer treats too.  I thought I would make these to give to my friends that I see at convention this year.

The tag uses a color combo that I got from the new Color Coach.  I really like having it. The colors are Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, and Daffodil Delight.

The Early Espresso looked like the brown M&Ms.  I punched those out using the new extra-large scallop circle punch.

Then I punch a layer of Daffodil Delight with the regular scallop circle punch.  The middle is Whisper White card stock and I stamped it with the saying from the Great Friend stamp set using Cherry Cobbler ink.  Then stamped the butterfly image in Daffodil Delight.  I punched it out with the 1-3/8″ Circle punch and then added Cherry Cobbler around the edges with a Stampin’ Write marker. I tied the tag to the top of my treat bags with white crochet thread.  Quick and cute!

UPDATE:  I have had many people ask about the bags – I ordered them online from clearbags.com – they are called 1×8 + flap crystal clear bags – I purchased 1000 of them in packs of 100 along with a few other items to make the shipping cost reasonable.  Ordering just one pack has a very high shipping cost.  I split my order with some other demonstrators and we shared the cost of the shipping.

Thanks for checking in!
