L is for Love Gift Set

This is a little 3x3 card that I put a heart treat cup in. The inside of the card front has a pocket for the little slide out tag and the Full Heart punch is used to create the hole all the way thru so you can access the treats without destroying the card. You do have to punch each layer individually, but I just trace the heart where I want it punched on each layer and everything lines up fine. The dimensions of the inside pocket are 2-3/4" square and the tag is 2" x 2-3/4" with a Scallop Square cut in half and glued to the end. Be sure to only put adhesive on 3 sides of the pocket at the very edges so you can get the tag in and out :) The layers on the front are 2-3/8" square and 2" square. The Full Heart punch won't reach to punch exactly in the middle of the card front, so I added a little bit of the Ribbon edge punch to balance it out.

The color block behind the L is for Love is an acrylic block inked up with Blushing Bride and stamped onto the bag. Then I inked just the edges of the same block in Melon Mambo and stamped again. Super slick!  The top of the bag was trimmed down about 3" while the bag was still folded flat. Then I scalloped the top with the Scallop Edge punch- while it was still folded flat. Then I stamped the hearts along the edge so they would be right side up when folded over. I will probably punch a couple holes in the top with my Crop-A-Dile and tie it shut with a ribbon.
