Sweet Tweet Bag for January Stamp Club

When I first saw the Hey, Valentine stamp set, I thought I’d never use it because it seemed juvenile, and since we only have fur babies, I have no need for elementary school classmate Valentine’s.

Then I started looking at it a bit more closely and realized that I can definitely use these images. Here’s the one we used at January’s Stamp Club.

Hey, Valentine stamp set a

It’s perfect for a gift of chocolates in the new Mini Treat Bag.

Cut both pieces of the bag with the Mini Treat Bag Framelits Dies and crease at the score lines.

Apply adhesive (we used Sticky Strip) to the left and right edges of the larger piece on the inner side of the bag, as well as to the bottom flap on the outer side of the bag.

valentine tweet bag m

Attach the smaller piece to the right side of the larger piece.

valentine tweet bag l

Fold over the left side of the larger piece and you have a treat bag.

Flip it over to see the front.

Score across the bag 4-1/2″ up from the bottom.

Now put some sweets in the bag, fold it over at the score line, and staple it closed off center – we stapled it at the vertical seam.

Wrap a piece of Whisper White twine a couple of times around the right side of the bag and tie a simple knot.

valentine tweet bag e

Lay a piece of Calypso Coral Pompom Trim across the knot and tie the twine again around it.

Now stamp the image on Whisper White card stock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then color it with Blendabilities. Cut it out with the banner die from the Mini Treat Bag Framelits. Then score across it at the middle line in the image.

    I felt exactly the same as you, but you’re right. That stamp could be useful. I’ll have to reassess!
