Last week on my live, I shared several fun ideas using the Heart Gusseted Treat Bags (#167073). I posted about the project I created during the live, but then realized I never shared the other projects—so today I’m fixing that!
These four additional projects all feature cutting a window into the treat bags using the Endless Love Dies (#167061), then using the die-cut heart from the bag on a coordinating project. It’s such a fun way to stretch your supplies and get multiple projects from one idea.
Helpful Tips Before You Cut
Be sure to watch the video where I share tips on how to avoid cutting through the sides of the bag. For this technique, you’ll want to use the Mini Cutting Plates (#151004) and place one inside the bag, so you’re only cutting through a single layer.
If you’d like your bag to stand up like mine, score the bottom of the bag at 1/2″, then fold that section to the inside to create a flat base.
Project One – Large Heart Window Shaker
For my first project, I used the large heart die to cut a window in the bag. I then cut a smaller heart from Real Red cardstock and embossed it with the Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder (#167071).
To create the shaker:
- I used a 3″ x 3″ Flip Flap (#166514)
- Filled it with the Loose Valentines Assortment (#167074)
- Attached it to the back of the embossed red heart
- Then adhered everything to the inside of the bag behind the window
I finished the bag with additional die cuts and Real Red Baker’s Twine (#164051).
For the coordinating project, I used the heart cut from the treat bag along with extra die cuts and twine then attached them to an Iridescent Treat Bag (#166204)—quick, easy, and adorable.
Project Two – Filigree Hearts & Shimmery Window
For the second project, I cut the smaller hearts and layered them with the filigree heart dies.
To create a shimmery window:
- I cut open an Iridescent Treat Bag (#166204)
- Adhered it to the inside of the gusseted treat bag
For the greeting, I used the Three Banner Punch (#167050) for a quick and easy sentiment. The final touch was Bubble Bath 1/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon (#167075)—the perfect delicate accent.
Coordinating Candy Bar Treat
To coordinate, I layered one of the hearts cut from the treat bag onto additional die cuts. I embossed Bubble Bath cardstock, wrapped it around a candy bar, and added:
- A strip of Real Red cardstock stamped with XO in black
- A big, beautiful bow made from the Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon
Quick, easy, and super cute!
Any of these projects would make a perfect Valentine treat for someone special, and they’re a great way to get even more value from your Heart Gusseted Treat Bags.
