For my stop on the hop today,  I created a trio of treat toppers to hold some yummy candy hearts!

For these treat toppers I knew I wanted to feature our Smitten Kittens Stamp Set so I got out the stamp set, stamped a bunch of kittens and  colored them in a a variety of different fur colors. I used watercolor markers to color the images. Next, I cut the images out using the coordinating Smitten Kittens Die Set

I found some cellophane bags that fit my jelly candy hearts and then measured the width of the bags to decide how wide to make the treat toppers. In this case the bags are 3" wide so I made the toppers 3 1/4" wide by 2 3/4" tall but you could adjust the size to fit any treat bag you might have on hand. I started with a kraft colored cardstock base and then added pieces of patterned papers from our Love & Meows Paper Pad, adding two patterns across each topper. I then cut out the hearts using our Heart Frames Die Set. I chose a color for each heart that coordinated with the papers and kittens.  I used two sentiment from the 
Smitten Kittens Stamp Set ("Smitten as a Kitten" and "You're the cat's Meow"). Then I added the sentiment "Be my MEOW-entine" from the Newton's Heart Stamp Set for the third treat topper. 

Here are a few close-up photos so you can see the fun details:
