PPA26- Valentine's Day Heart Treat Bag

 

Pals Paper Arts 26 challenge this week is to make anything but a card.  FUN! I made this heart treat bag using my Sizzix Petals Card die.  I die cut four petal cards out of red cardstock.  Then I took two of them and cut 1/4 off of two conjoining petals on each petal card. I folded two of the other petals (the two I didn't cut) into heart shapes and adhered them inside of the heart shapes of the other two. (The folded parts facing in) Then I used sticky strip to join together the cut petals of the two petal cards that I cut. Confusing?  It's easier to see it done, then to explain it like this.  Anyway, what I ended up with was an awesome heart treat bag with three inside pockets.  The middle pocket is the largest.  (The last pictured shows this well.) Then I cut some ribbon and made the handle by using pink corduroy brads to hold them into place.  The last part was just decorating the outside of the heart bag.  I love the Lattice die, so I die cut two pieces of Pretty in Pink, and cut off one corner of the lattice. I found that it was a perfect fit on the heart.  Then I added some hearts from the I {heart} Hearts stamp set and some butterflies from the butterfly embosslit.  I love how it turned out! Oh, and by the way,  it's perfect for Ghirardelli squares! YUM!
