Red Heart

This die cut heart can adorn a card front all by itself. Still, I chose to add a smaller red heart to the center of it. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Bloomin' Love

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Basic Black 4" Sq.

   Riding Hood Red 2-1/2" Sq.

Ink:

   Riding Hood Red

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Bloomin' Hearts Thinlits Dies

   Heart Punch

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the large heart, using the Bloomin' Hearts Thinlits Dies.

I then punched a smaller heart with the Heart Punch.

Next, I adhered the large Basic Black heart to the Basic White card front, using glue dots.

I then added the Riding Hood Red punched heart to the center of the larger heart, using a bit of adhesive.

Next, I stamped a sentiment on the bottom of the card front, using Riding Hood Red ink.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Garden Love

This heart die cut decorates the entire card front. I added a few punched hearts and a sentiment. Rhinestones would certainly add a sparkle if you like. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Bloomin' Love

Paper:

   Garden Green A-2

   Love Blossoms DSP 3-3/4" Sq.

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   Bloomin' Heart Thinlits

   Itty Bitty Accents (Heart Punch)

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

You know I hate to throw anything away. So, once I ran my 3-3/4" DSP square through the die cutting machine using the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits, I grabbed the heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents and punched out several hearts from the corners. I flipped them to show the other side of the DSP. All of the extra pieces from between the heart die cut I placed in a container to use as confetti when I make a window card. I tell you, there is use for everything! 

I die cut my heart and adhered it with adhesive.

I used glue dots to attach my small hearts.

I stamped my sentiment and adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

There is still room to glam this card. You can add rhinestones, gems, pearls, and/or sequins.

Life Happens

Life Happens. Love Helps. That is the embossed sentiment at the bottom of this heart. The hat pin causes the sentiment to appear blurry.

Stamps:

   Vintage Vogue

Paper:

   Blushing Bride A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4

   Blushing Bride Glimmer 4" Sq.

Ink:

   Whisper White Craft

Technique:

   Heat Embossing

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies

   Embossing Buddy

   White Embossing Powder

   Rose Ribbon

   Pretties Kit

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

Although it is not absolutely necessary to use an embossing buddy, it does help to remove the static on the paper. This will give you a cleaner embossed sentiment without any stray white specks. As you heat emboss your sentiment, move the heat tool around to avoid any damage or burning of your paper.

Next, die cut your heart using the Bloomin' Heart thinlit die. Adhere it to the black panel with glue dots.

Tie a ribbon around the black panel between the heart and the sentiment. 

I used a hat pin through the ribbon as an embellishment. It is not meant to be a stab in the heart. LOL! It is an actual hat pin, so it can be removed and used by the recipient. 

Adhere the panel onto the Blushing Bride card base.

Thank you for taking the time to take a peek. I appreciate all of your comments, shares, pins and likes.

Written Instructions for Valentine Treat Bag

Stamps: Groovy Love

Paper: White Lunch Bag, Basic Black 4" Sq., 5 x 2 1/2, Whisper White 5 x 2

Ink: Archival Basic Black, Real Red

Techniques: Die Cutting, Sponging

Accessories: Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies, Red Ribbons: 5 x 2 1/2 Piece for the front of bag, 16" of a smaller one to tie around the bag, Sponge, Glue Dots, Fast Fuse, Adhesive

The best instruction is to watch the video to see how it is all put together. The video is posted in the previous post. There is also a link to my You Tube channel on the right hand column.


My favorite thing about this project is that it can be changed to fit any occasion you need. Whether you are looking for some treat bags for a birthday party, Christmas, Easter, or simply a hostess gift for a workshop. Just change up the stamp and the treat. Have some fun with it. 


If you are trying to sell them at a craft fair, you only need to worry about making a bit of profit on your treat inside. It costs less than a dollar to put the bag together. Good Luck. Let me know what you think and how it goes for you in the comments below.
