In the middle of cleaning out book shelves I had an idea for a card. So I went to my desk, pulled out the stamps, dies and ribbon, and went back to my shelving. This morning I just looked at them and thought, “What did I have in mind?” Not sure, but this is what I ended up with.
I think it is funny because if you don’t read the little word love that is inside the heart cut out, the tags just say “you my friend”. A bit basic, but really made me laugh.
Have a creative day!

I started this project out completely different than it ended up. Who doesn’t like an adventure now and again, right?
The mini treat bag thinlits were out waiting to get to work. I wanted to use he heart framelit and coordinating stamp. After I pulled the paper and matching seam binding ribbon, it switched around on me. Not a problem,
Then I didn’t have a treat to put inside so I could give it away. How can you give away a treat bag with no treats? You can’t, that wouldn’t be any fun. So I thought, does it have to hold a treat? Why not make it an envelope and put a card to write on inside.
Worked like a champ! Now I have another choice with how I use this set. Not everyone wants a treat, but something sweet to read is also yummy. This little number will also fit inside one of our standard envelopes for mailing. How cool is that!
A quick note on the stamp. I stamped the image once and used the coordinating framelit. It cut off the cool dashed boarder that I liked so well. So I stamped it again, fussy cut it out, not my favorite activity, and layered it on dimensionals. After I sponged everything of course. Thought you might like that little detail.
Have a creative day!
