So we don’t normally do much in our house for St Valentines Day, because like most “Hallmark holidays” I refuse to buy into the insincere commercialism & pressure of it all. However this year we’ve been having a pretty rough run of things on a lot of fronts, so I decided to brighten up my boys lives with a little chocolate & I couldn’t just give them a boring bag of Lindt Balls could I?
How simple is this gift tag? Yet it coordinates beautifully with the bag colours and makes it a little bit special for them. The heart clip isn’t from Stampin’ Up! but it went with the general theme of things and looked nicer than some sticky tape for holding the tag onto the bag.
I stamped one of the main images from Posted For You (love this set) in Memento ink and punched it out with the smooth heart punch from the Heart Punch Pack and the Real Red scalloped heart with the coordinating punch in the same pack. I coloured the images with the Blends in Old Olive and Real Red. I added the word “you” from the Itty Bitty Greetings I found it easier to add the single word later than before I punched things out. The 2″ x 10.5cm Thick Basic White piece I punched with the Scallop Tag Topper and added some white Bakers Twine from the Snailed It Suite.
