Embossed Valentine's Day Gift Bag

Hi Everyone!

Today for Erica's Design Team one of the challenges was to use embossing powder on your project. I'm still relatively new to using embossing powder (this is only my third project using it), so I was eager to find a way to try to incorporate embossing into my project.


Using the Art Philosophy cartridge, I cut out the heart shaped 3D box. I cut it out at 12 inches using the fit to page feature. Using the same cartridge, I cut out three flowers using white paper - one at five inches and two at 3 inches. I inked the flowers using tulip ink from Close to My Heart. I used Stickles in Stardust around the edges of the flowers for a little blinged look. I used the Mad About You stamp set also from Close to My Heart and stamped the sentiment Happy Valentine's Day using black pigment ink. I used clear embossing powder and my heat tool to set the powder. I also strung ribbon to be used as a handle. 

This project was very easy to create and done in less than 30 minutes.


I hope I have inspired you become creative today. Happy crafting!!!!! ♥

Valentine's die cut challenge

Hi there! 
Welcome to my blog! Today for the Design Team our challenge was to use Valentine's die cuts. 


I created this cute little treat box for Valentine's Day using the Art Philosophy cartridge. 

 

I cut out the oval shaped box in this booklet at 10 inches using the fit to page feature. The pink paper is paper from my stash. I inked the edges using tulip ink from Close to My Heart.  I then cut out several hearts. I cut three hearts at 1 inch and two hearts at 2 inches. I used the Mad About You stamp set and stamped the hearts using tulip ink. I affixed the hearts on opposites sides of the box using 3D pop up dots. I used the You're Sweet sentiment from the same stamp set as well and stamped it onto a mini craft tag. This box does not need any adhesive to stay closed and it is tied closed with a ribbon. This treat box took all of twenty minutes to complete!

I hope that I have inspired you to become crafty today! ♥
