Custom Valentine Treats

Create your own custom valentine treat wrappers.  The photo to the left is for a standard Hershey Bar.  The Hugs and Kisses would be on the front of the bar and the rest would wrap around to the back.  Creative Memories has provided a free template for a variety of party treats.   You can download it here. (Scroll down to find the Click and Fill Party Favor Templates)  There are templates for standard candy bars, cupcake wrappers, the small candy bars, cake toppers, treat-bag toppers and tags.  You can read about the step by step directions on how to use these templates on the CM Digital Blog. 

Remember these don't just have to be for candy or just for Valentine's Day.  As Cindy suggested you can use them to wrap granola bars.  How about a surprise in someone special's lunch bag on a random day?  You can also use the treat bag toppers to top a bag of fruit for a snack or a bag of granola mix as a gift.  The possibilities are endless.

If you want to create your own custom size - say for a granola bar this is what you do in StoryBook Creator 4.0.  On the Insert Tab choose "Insert and Empty Frame".   Then measure the item you are using.  First measure the width.  Then using a flexible tape measure measure all the way around the item.  Add anywhere from 1/2 to 1 inch to this measurement for the overlap.  Remember to take into account his overlap when designing your product.  For instance in the candy bar shown above the part below the heart will be lapped under when it is wrapped around the bar.  Once you know your measurements you right click on the frame you added and choose properties.  In the properties menu uncheck the box that says "maintain aspect ratio" and enter your custom height and width. 

Now all you have to do is use your creativity to design your own unique wrappers.  You can add photos, text, embellishments - anything you want.

Here are a few samples (the all use the P.S. I Love You digital kit):
