Hello Creative Friends,

I’m getting this posted a lot later in the day than I wanted, but I’m sure you know all about those best laid plans:)  I’m sharing with you just a few last minute quick and easy favors for your church Valentine’s and Sweetheart banquets.  

Be sure to check out the links at the bottom of the post.  I put up one new page on the main site and put back up some Valentine’s banquet pages that had somehow remained missing since moving the site from the other domain.   You can click the photo to enlarge.

This is a little “Love Brew”.  It holds a hot chocolate packet and I’ve printed out the verse, John 5:12 on it.  I think the world would be a better place if we’d all drink in a little love and spread it around, don’t you?

Just cut cardstock 4 1/4 x 11.  (You get two out of an 8 1/2 by 11)  Score at 5 inches and 9 inches on the 11 inch side.  Fold in at the 5 inch score line and out at the next score line to make pouch.  I added brads to each side but if you were making these for a large number, you may want to just put a staple on each side under the flap.   I used Wendy Font on the verse and printed it out on cardstock.      Click the photo to enlarge.

I know you’ve seen these before but I wanted to show you that even if you don’t have the Scallop Punch or have time to get it before you need your Valentine’s favors finished, you can do them with just circles and they can look just as cute.

You can use Peppermint Patties or the large Gold Candy Coins to sandwich between.  I added tags that I printed off of the computer about God’s love.     Click the photo to enlarge.

These are candy topped lollipops.  Just make a cover with cardstock and scrapbook designer paper.  Add a bow if you wish.  Then add a heart shaped wrapped candy and you are done.

These are cute to send in for kid’s class parties too.    Click the photo to enlarge.

This is a 4.4 oz. Hershey’s candy bar wrapped in scrapbooking designer paper and embellished a little.  I put John 15:12 on this too.  When in doubt for a favor, my favorite thing is just to add a Bible verse.  You can’t go wrong with that.  I love stamping images and all that, but I enjoy printing out bible verses from my computer for projects.  These candy bars would be great doorprizes or to give to your banquet volunteers and helpers.  The heart on this I made from the Polka Dot Punches Stamp Set which is available in the Salabration Brochure.   Click on the photo to enlarge.
