Valentine's Day Suckers.....{MCT Thrifty Thursday}

Good morning everyone and welcome to 
My Creative Time's Thrifty Thursday.
A day set aside to share any type of project using our scraps/leftovers or recycling items using My Creative Time stamps and dies!
Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow I made come treats for my son's Valentine's Day party.

 I have been trying really hard to use what I have before cutting into another piece of card stock.
So before I share my project I have a tip that has been helping me get through the never ending stack of cardstock.
I take the dies I use the most from MCT~ in this case the Label Die from the Just Simply Live Stamp set and I cut multiples when I have that little scrap of white cardstock laying around. I am able to use up what is left of the paper, I have a bundle of die cuts ready to stamp on and no scraps :) I see it as a win win all around!
I did the same thing with the hearts, I had a bunch of red cardstock left over from when I made the Christmas Pillow Boxes (see project HERE) so I used that and the large heart from the new Stitched Sweethearts & XOXO Dies and got through a huge chunk of those scraps.

Now I can share my projects..... I used the fun Heart Winged Lollipop Covers from SVG Cutting Files as the base to my suckers and then the die cuts from My Creative Time to decorate the front.
I tied these all together using Cranberry Trendy Twine and the sentiment from the Puffy Hearts Just For You stamp set

The same stamp set was used for this as well but I added Berry Trendy Twine to close these ones
And these are the last of the bunch. Again I used the same sentiment and this time added some Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine.

So what do you think?????
I am hoping the kiddo's like these! 
Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!
I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT Thursday!!!

    These are fabulous and I love the idea about using up those papers before adding them to your pile. Die cutting them, means you have things on hand ready to go!
