{judy} Today I want to share a cute little treat bag that can be decorated with all sorts of posy trims and ribbons. I am making twelve of these little bags to deliver as Valentine surprises to some friends.
The little bag is from a kit (Paper Pumpkin from Stampin' Up!), but is easily made. It's a tiny treat bag -- just big enough to hold 3 or 4 Ghirardelli or Dove chocolates! I think it's the perfect size to just let someone know you are thinking of them! I always love fun little treats!
I gathered my supplies, and wanted to make a little bit of of a sweet "bouquet" to dress up the arrow. The bag and banner are adhered with Scor-Tape, and the little heart sentiment with foam tabs.
I chose Light Pink Organza (3/8"), Ivory Burlap String, and a sweet pink Resin Flower, and added three Baby Pink Gypsophila for the flowers. I made a three loop bow with the organza, then tied the string around it and made a single bow.
I used a wood scallop circle (Stampin' Up!) to thread my flowers through, and then added the Resin Flower on top. I hot glued the arrow to the front of the bag, and then my bow trims to the arrow.
It's now ready to fill with some sweet tiny treats! I also tried a different look, and instead of the shredded fill, used a mini clothespin to close the bag. I think I like the white shred better. What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by today!
{judy} I am a dog lover. I have an 8 year old rescue dog named Fiona. But —
my daughter has a cat, and I am learning to love and appreciate them.
We also have six neighborhood cats that take advantage of our sunny
front porch and deck, and they are sweet too. And none of them are
ordinary!
For my card today I chose No Ordinary Cats
from Art Neko as my image for my main tag. I made a watercolor background with
distress inks and then stamped my image in VersaFine Onyx Black, using a
MISTI to re-stamp until I got the image as dark as I wanted. Watercolor
paper has texture, and it sometimes takes several impressions to fill
in that texture. This cute image also comes in a half sheet with some other amazing cat images and sentiments.
I layered my main tag with a die cut tag for interest, and added some
fun ribbons and Baby Pink Gypsophila flowers to the tops of the tags, along with some fibers from my stash.
Here are the ribbons I used:
As always, I love using Scor-Tape to hold all the layers together!
I think my daughter will like this card!
