Sweetheart Treat Bag

We're only three weeks away from Valentine's Day! Every time holidays like this pop up, I realize how sorely I am lacking in stamps with appropriate sentiments. Guess it's time I work on building some sentiment stamps up in my collection, huh?

This little treat bag is an easy way to dress up some conversation hearts. I used a 4"x4-1/2" square of Soft Suede and punched the ends using a decorative border punch. Then I folded it in half and attached it to the top of the bag with some brads. I threaded some of the Calypso Coral ribbon from the Everyday Enchantment Sale-A-Bration Ribbon & Brads pack (Sale-A-Bration starts TOMORROW!!!) and tied it in a bow. I used the coordinating paper and punched out four hearts using my large heart punch. I folded them in half and adhered them to one another to make the pop-up heart. Lastly, I made a little flag using the Amour stamp from Artistic Etchings. I may end up sending some of these off to daycare or maybe make some for my stamp club members and February hostesses!
