Valentine Treats for Nursing Home Visits
I am a leader of the Mary Martha Circle/United Methodist Women in Jasper, Alabama. One of my goals over the next two years is to reach out and visit those women who are not able to attend our monthly meeting. I am so excited that my dear friend Charlene agreed to be the Nursing Home/Outreach Coordinator.
Today Charlene and I visited three women at a nursing home. Here is "a little Something for you" treat bag I made for them.
Stampin' Up! Products
* I purchased white bags from a restaurant supplier. They have a 2 stamped on the front of the bag and 81-4 on the bottom. They measure 8 1/4" x 4" with a gusset of 2 1/2". I trimmed them down from 8 1/4" to 2 1/2" to fit between two Top Note die cuts.

Pleated Card
I was inspired to create a pleated card from Dawn Easton's card I found online. We (crafters) are so fortunate that so many share their work.
Stampin' Up! Products
Scoring
Stampin' Up! Products
- Whisper White cardstock
- Card base measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
- Card layer measures 3 1/4" x 3 1/2. This is shorter than the Regal Rose card layer; bottom part of the pleats are not glued down to the bottom of this layer. (Frugal paper saver)
- Chocolate Chip cardstock
- Strip measures 3 1/4" x 1/2"
- Regal Rose cardstock
- Card layer measures 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
- Punch out a heart from this layer (Frugal paper saver)
- Loves Me Designer Series Paper (retired)
- Pleat - begin with a piece measuring 6 5/8" x 2"
- Score
- Accordian pleat - using bone folder, crease each pleat (both sides of paper)
- Trust God stamp set
- Chocolate Chip ink
- Full Heart and Small Heart hand punches
- Dimensionals
Scoring
- Follow this sequence - Score 3/4", 1 1/8", 2 1/8", 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 3 7/8", 4 7/8", 5 1/4", 6 1/4"
- What is the sequence?
- After first score, add 3/8" (which is 1 1/8")
- Next add 1" (which is 2 1/8")
- Next add 3/8" (which is 2 1/2")
- Next add 1" (which is 3 1/2")
- See the pattern? This scoring pattern can be followed to make a wider pleated section.
Picture 1 - I started with a piece of DSP measuring 6" x 6 5/8" |
Picture 2 |
Picture 3 - Once you have pleated the DSP, place into your paper trimmer. First press out folds, then cut. This step is skipped if you started with a piece of paper measures 2" x 6 5/8". |
Picture 4 |
Picture 5 - Adhesive is applied in each of the folds on the backside of the DSP. |
Picture 6 - Place strip of Chocolate Chip cardstock over top of pleated DSP. |
