Hi and welcome to the Whimsical Designs "Love" Blog Hop!
If you've come from Shelly's blog, you're in the right place!. If you need to start at the beginning of the hop, please visit Whimsical Designs.
For today's hop project, I made some (okay when I say "some," I really mean 20... more on that later!) 1" by 10" Valentine's Day treat bags using the 'With Love' stamp set from Whimsical Designs!
These treat bags were SO fun to make! I started by filling them with Valentine's Day-themed M&M's (I was able to get about 30 in each bag) and then started on the toppers. The hearts are cut at 3" from Cricut Craft Room and then embellished along the edges with Flamingo Liquid Pearls. The twine is Trendy Twine (Maraschino, Pink Sorbet, & Blossom) and of course the sentiment and the little heart is from the 'With Love' stamp set. The bee is cut from Create a Critter 2 at 2" - I glittered the heart antennas with Star Dust Stickles and even used vellum for the wings, although that's a bit hard to see.
I actually ended up making 20 of these (took about a bag and a half of M&M's - not too bad) because I'm going to be selling them for a $1 at work for a fundraiser I have to do. I figured if I'm going to be asking for money I might as well give my coworkers some chocolate in return!
