Chef Valentine

This is the treat I gave our son-in-law for Valentine’s Day. If you all keep up with my blogs you already know that he is a chef so it was appropriate to use the Chef for his treat. I was kind of at a loss as how to treat a guy without it being froofy (I don’t think that’s a word). All I had for him is a Reese’ Peanut Butter Cup and everyone else was getting their treat all dolled up so as I was warming up our soup last week I realized it had a ‘pop top’ – so instead of opening the can using the handy dandy pop top, I used my Pampered Chef can opener so it cut clean and reusable. Once I washed it, and let it dry I filled it with the candy and some red crumpled paper strips, put the bottom back on, sealing it with Crystal Effects, covering it with Designer paper and Voila` – a special Valentine treat.

When Jeremy received his gift he just had to pop the original seal to get his treat out.

Thanks a Latte`

Isn't this little chef cute? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stamp set, the cute chef just makes me smile. I have made MANY cards using this fun stamp set, and I am sure you will be seeing more posts from this stamp set. Our son in law is a chef so whenever Gracie sees a card made with this chef she says “that’s a chef, my daddy is a chef at New Chellos” (Uccello’s)! I just love it. My friend Rachel is going to borrow this stamp set soon and I am excited to see what great ideas she comes up with. You can check her blog out any time by clicking on her link on the right hand side of my blog, called “Rachels Craft Room." This particular idea came from Becky Roberts on her Inking Idaho blog. I can always find fun things on Becky's blog.
