Sending My Love Valentine's Day Heart Gift Tags with Mendi

Hello there!  I'm back today with a quick set of heart shaped gift tags using the middle sized heart from our Stitched Hearts dies.

To decorate each of the tags I stamped a little critter face from our Sending My Love stamp set and then personalized the tag with each of my family's names using our Sweet Script alphabet stamps.

To finish off each tag I punched a 1/8" hole in the top corner of each tag and then threaded a little sheer organza ribbon through the hole and tied it off with a twine bow.

I wanted to make the stitching stand out a bit more against the patterned paper so I used a white gel pen to trace the stitched lines on the heart.

I think these will be a great little extra to tie onto some gifts for my family for Valentine's Day this year!  I hope I've inspired you to make some cute little tags of your own.  ;)  


Make sure to stop back by tomorrow.  The amazing Francine will be sharing her debut post as part of our design team.  :)

Sending Sweet Birthday Wishes Chocolate Wrapper by Marion

Hi there! It's Marion here with a little project using the newly released Sending My Love stamp set. Talk about a cutsie patoosie stamp set! Lots of different mixing and matching can be done with this one and it also has coordinating dies as well.

Today I have created a simple chocolate wrapper; a perfect little gift to give to someone special on their birthday.

To create the wrapper, I took some red card stock and trimmed it to just under the width of the chocolate box. I wrapped it around the chocolate and drew some pencil marks on the edges, so I knew where to make the fold fines with my scoring board. I made it a fairly snug fit, but still loose enough to slip on and off easily. Before adhering the wrapper ends together, I stamped some love hearts from the Furever Friends stamp set in red ink to create a subtle tone on tone effect.

The bear was coloured with Copic markers. I added some some red Stickles to the love heart to add some sparkle and some Glossy Accents to his nose.
