More Snuggles & Smooches

IMG_5047I just love the name of the stamp set!  How can it not be adorable with a name like Snuggles and Smooches?!!  You can check out all of the cute images here.

If the gift bag looks familiar it should.  I showed it to you last week but in Real Red.  I will admit that I like the project much better in Real Red but I started with this try in Calypso Coral.  It’s not bad but it’s SO much better in red!

Yesterday I showed you how you can make the same project in different sizes.  Well, today I’m showing you how you can take the same basic design and make a card and a gift bag.  I think I like the gift bag better than the card.  How about you?  Which one do you like?

I think it’s the polka dots.  I might like the card better with polka dots….hmmm…I just thought of a way I could get polka dots on the card.  I’ll give it a try.  If it works I’ll let you know!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping.

Snuggles and Smooches Treat Bag

021How about a fun treat bag for Valentines day?  I used the fun new stamp set Snuggles and Smooches (#140326 $15.95).  You won’t find this stamp set in a catalog.  It’s one of the special photopolymer stamp sets that Stampin’ Up! comes out with every month.  You can check out the complete set here in my online store.

Start with one of Stampin’ Up!’s fun Gift Bags.  I used the new Polka Dot ones (#135503 10/$3.95) or they have Chevron ones (#131370 10/$3.95).  Place your treats in the bag and seal the bag with any washi tape.  Then decorate!  I used banners.  Once my banner was complete I adhered it to the bag with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430 $3.95).  I also added the little hearts at the bottom for a little cuteness.  You can use the Sweetheart Punch (#133786 $15.95) and the little heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (#133787 $16.95) to punch out the stamped hearts.  They don’t fit perfectly but it’s better than cutting!  🙂

These little treat bags are fun and easy and you can use them for any occasion just by changing the decorations!  What are you giving for Valentines Day?

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
