Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, our blog hop team made projects to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week, which is February 14-20! We hope you will be inspired by all the beautiful creations the Pals made for you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I love the idea of Random Acts of Kindness Week! It’s so much fun to randomly hand out treats to those who least expect it. In order to maximize the number of treats I can give out, I wanted to make sure my treats are super simple to make. I also wanted to make treats that would make the recipient smile! After I got started making them, more ideas kept popping into my head, so I have several pictures to show you. Scroll all the way through to see my favorite at the end. All the treats were made with a Dove Dark Chocolate Heart (Red Swirl Hearts), Dove Milk Chocolate Heart (Pink Swirl Hearts) or Hershey’s Chocolate Heart (both Pale Pink and Silver Hearts)
To make the Butterfly Treats, I used the Ladybug Builder Punch and the 2022-24 In Color Glimmer Paper. I cut out two sets of wings and attached everything with Mini Glue Dots
These Butterfly Treats are made with Night of Navy and Early Espresso Cardstock (CS) and the 6″ x 6″ DSP Assortment-Neutrals.
This sweet butterfly was made with Calypso Coral CS and the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper (DSP).
The last Butterfly Treat has beautiful Gold Metallic Specialty Paper wings. You’ll find this paper on page 139 of the Annual Catalog.
Here’s some more traditional Valentine Treats made with the Heart Punch Pack.
This Flower Treat was made with the Stitched Rectangle dies and the stem is from the Sentimental Park dies.
I have lived in Iowa all my life, so I thought we needed some Peekaboo Farm Treats. Their hooves are snipped off and I used a Mini Glue Dot to attach them to the front of the heart.
These are quick and easy to color with the Stampin’ Blends.
I hope I’ve inspired you to make some quick and easy Random Acts of Kindness Treats to hand out. Please leave me a comment and let me know which one is your favorite! This sweet little cow is my favorite!
You can see all the Stampin’ Up products I used to make these treats at the bottom of this post.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 8th, when our theme will be Party Time, showcasing cards/projects that celebrate our family and friends.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Oh, my…these are adorable! You’re so creative!
Absolutely adorable treats, Beth! Thanks for sharing your creativity.
These are all awesome! My absolute favorites are the farm animals – what patience you have to place the “hands” on the candy.
I love your colorful projects. Super ideas! Thank you for sharing!
Your little chocolate critters are so cute Beth! Such a great idea!!
Thanks for the sweet comment VeeCee! I had so much fun handing them out today 🙂
Thanks Su! I think the glitter paper butterfly is my other favorite! 🙂
Thanks so much, Karen 🙂
I should save a pig heart for you! Did you start liking pigs after they kept giving them to you? 🙂
Thanks so much Windy! I should make some for my BSF group. 🙂
Hi Dara,
Thanks for the sweet comment! That just makes my day! 🙂 Hope you make some chocolate critters!
Thanks, Rae! You’ll have to send me a picture of your Bunco treats 🙂 Ladybugs were the easiest 🙂
Aww, thanks Margaret! It makes my heart happy that you liked them. It was super fun to start handing them out today! 🙂
Thanks so much Debbie! I started handing them out today and people loved them! 🙂
Yeah! I’m glad you liked them Peggy. Thanks for the sweet comment 🙂
Beth, these are absolutely precious! What a great idea, I can’t wait to try making some!
Oh, Beth, I am so happy and impressed with your adorable RAK gifts!! Love them all – definitely couldn’t choose a favorite. Very creative! Thank you for joining the blog hop this month.
I love simple and I love acts of kindness. These are simply adorable. Thanks so much for sharing.
Oh my these are adorable Beth! I may even have time to make them for Bunco on Thursday. Thank you!
WOW – what a great idea! Love the chocolate critters & ladybug. very creative!!!
Adorable critters and chocolate!
So fun and cute. Of course I like all of them but due to tradition for me would have to be the little pig holding the Hershey’s heart. When we lived in Houston, the doctor I worked for and the staff of the rehab unit decided I was from Iowa so therefore I liked pigs. They gave me pig stuff in anything imaginable. I have one ornament that was from Nieman Marcus and the pig angel still have the price tag of $129 on it!
Sweet idea Beth!
These are adorable, Beth! What a fun idea! Love them all 😉
This is a great idea, Beth! They are all cute, but I’ll pick the ladybug as a favorite!
Beth, I sat here with a smile that kept getting bigger as I scrolled through your beautiful RAK. If they did that to me by just looking, can only imagine the smile, and the warm feelings the recipients will feel. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and your sharing.
Wow! These are all wonderful little treats and so many different ones. A match for everyone. Thank you for the ideas.
