Valentine Treat Bag







This is a stellar idea if you have kids in school and they want to bring Valentines Day gifts to the kids at school and they can help you make them or make them theirselves! Or for any occasion to send a little sumthin sumthin. It takes only about 5 minutes to make and is absolutely ADORABLE!

This project is made using all Stampin Up products

Supplies: (for 1)

1 - 8.5"x11" whisper white cardstock
1 piece - Red Gingham ribbon (3/16" wide)
Real red craft ink pad
"A Happy Heart" stamp set
1 - small (3"x5") flat cellophane bag
Double Rectangle punch

Instructions

1. Cut a 3.5"x8.5" rectangle out of the whisper white cardstock.
2. Swipe the real red ink pad along the edges of the piece you cut
3. Score the 3.5"x8.5" piece at 3.75" and 4.75"
4. Stamp the outside of this piece in any pattern you like. You can see in the pictures how I chose to stamp mine.
5. Fold the piece on the score lines up to make the outside of the bag.
6. Line your cellophane bag inside your piece and in the center at the top use the Double rectangle punch to punch through your piece and bag.
7. Fill your cellophane bag with sweet tarts or candy hearts (any treat you wish)
8. After filling your bag put it bag in your paper piece and run the red gingham ribbon through the punched holes and then tie a bow in the front.
9. There you have it. Your Valentines Day treat bag is complete. ENJOY
