Sweet Treats On Valentine's Day┃Inspiration Projects

Happy Monday, Friends! On today’s blog, I’m back again sharing this fun and dimensional, but quick and easy at the same time “Sweet Treats on Valentine’s Day” inspiration project made using a full array of products by The Stamp Market. So, without further ado let’s jump right into the step-by-step for how I made it ↓

Although, this project has a Valentine’s Day look it could be fun to use it for an any occasion handmade gift projects. Therefore, I’d like to start by sharing with you the full details for how I made this gift bag. So, to do it, I used one sheet from Hammermill Cardstock 100 lb - 100 Bright 17x11 inches cardstock and then, I placed it over my Scoring Board to trace some scoring lines using the standard Teflon bone folder including in Craft Treat Teflon Bone Folder at the 1/2”. 3.0”, 9-1/2”, 12.0” and 12-1/2” inches. Next, I went ahead to trim down the excess from the end using a Rotary Cutter and a metal ruler. Once, I had that step done, I’ve gone ahead to mark a scoring line to the bottom part of it at the 2-1/2”inches mark.

The cardstock sheet wasn’t larger enough to close the gift bag so, I went ahead to trim down a smaller cardstock piece at W 6-1/2” x H 11.0” inches. Next, I added a scoring line to the bottom part of the cardstock piece at 2-1/2” inches mark and once I had it that done, I proceeded to close the gift bag by folding the scoring lines over and by getting the edges from the large piece of the gift bag adhered to the back of the smaller piece. Then to finish it off, I went ahead to get the bottom of the gift bag adhered to the other creating that way a finished gift bag with the following dimensions: H 8-1/2 x W 6-1/2 and 8-1/2 x 2-1/2” inches depth.

Moving on, after getting the gift bag finished, I went ahead to use 2-patterned papers with the same design from the Little Love 6X8 Patterned Paper Pad and then, I’ve got them adhered to the front and back of the gift bag. Because there isn’t a gift bag without its handles, I went ahead to use a small whole puncher to open two holes in the front and back of the bag at 2-1/4” inches from each side leaving 1/2 of an inch from the top side of it. Thus, for the handles, I use a light pink satin ribbon with 1/2 of an inch width. Finally, to get the front of it embellished, I used Love Die Cover to cut out the love word from white cardstock and then, I’ve got it adhered to the front of it. next, I used the sentiment and coordinating die including in Love & Flowers Stamp and Love & Flowers Dies to stamp and cut out the All You Need Is sentiment for a completed look.

Right after that, I’ve had finished the embellishments for the gift bag, I went ahead to put it off to the side to create the sweet treats. So, to do that, I used some of the patterned paper sheets from the pad along with Gift Cracker Die to create the 3D-mentional candy looking treats. This die it’s so much fun ad it creates the scoring lines which make it easy to follow when putting together the paper candies. Having that said, I went ahead to cut them out from the patterned paper sheets and then, I’ve got them adhered and, I also added the small tags to them along with pieces of bakery twine which, I’ve got it tied up with a bow on each end as, you can see in the image above. By the way, the tags are from one of the patterned paper sheets from the pad.

This die,could be used to make a bigger paper candy by doubling it up. Thus, I went ahead to die cut twice the design from two patterned paper sheets with the same design and then, I went ahead to put them together achieving that way a bigger size paper candy which it’s the perfect size to get it fill up with small chocolates.

And, with that being said friends, I hope that you’ve enjoyed reading the step-by-step for how I’ve made this fun and dimensional, but quick and easy at the same time “Sweet Treats on Valentine’s Day” inspiration project using products by The Stamp Market.
