Makeover Monday: Valentine's Treat Bag Cover

Today's makeover project was originally created by Kristie Lee. Her little Valentine bag cover is quite cute so I decided to make it over using only the Stampin' Up! products I had on hand.

I began with Pretty in Pink CS and added strips of Whisper White punched with the new Scallop Trim Border Punch, (only available in the Sale-a-bration Mini Catalog through March 31st.) Then for the heart I used the Heart of Hearts Embosslit with Melon Mambo Cardstock and then added one of the flowers and leaves from the new Sweet Pea Stitched Felt Flowers. I am so in love with the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt Flowers. Check them out on page 32 of the Occasions Mini Catalog. I've found the Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive works best with any of the felt pieces. Being that it is a liquid glue you do have to set your project aside to let it dry, but once it's dry it's there to stay. Once I added the felt leaves to the back of the heart I then adhered it to the bag cover using Pop Up Glue Dots. These make the bottom even/level with the felt. Then finished it off with the Polka Dot Melon Mambo Grosgrain Ribbon. Inside are the candy hearts that come in the little box. I poured them into a medium cello bag, stapled it closed and then adhered the bag below the ribbon holes using a little Sticky Strip.
