Cut, Shake & Share: Valentine Treat Ideas with Heart Gusseted Treat Bags

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 projectsβ€”so today I’m fixing that!

A variety of decorated gift bags with heart designs, featuring messages like 'Hugs & Kisses' and 'I Adore You'. The bags are embellished with red and pink colors, and some contain chocolates and other small gifts.

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

A handmade greeting card featuring three red heart cutouts with a transparent background, displaying colorful sequins inside, and the text 'Hugs & Kisses' on a pink ribbon.

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)β€”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)β€”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.

Quick and Easy Treat Holders

Can you believe the month is already over? That means tomorrow May 1st is the last day to order retiring products. This is my last post featuring retiring products. I’ve also received my pre-order items so I thought I would share a variety of quick and easy treat holders that feature retiring product, new product and online exclusives.

I created these cute gift holders around Valentine’s for my open house. I also wanted to create a project that I could send to people that weren’t able to attend in person. Since it’s hard to send them stamps I decided to go with a project that was made with dies and punches. You’ll notice that both are similar; however, the punched one I punched the images directly from the designer series paper.

  • 160390 – Country Floral Lane Suite Collection (R) (M)
  • 160383 – Country BouQuet Bundle (R) (M)
  • 160377 – Country Bouquet Stamp Set (C) (M)
  • 160382 – Country Bouquet Punch (C) (M)
  • 160386 – Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (C) (M)
  • 160387 – Pastel Adhesive- Backed Sequins (C) (M)
  • 160388 – Country Gingham 6×6 DSP (R) (M)
  • 160375 – Country Floral Lane 12×12 DSP (R) (M)
  • 158885 – Best Label Punch (C)
  • 104199 – Linen Thread (C)
  • 152698 – Love you More Than Dies (R)
  • Colors – Sweet Sorbet (C), Mint Macaron (R), Balmy Blue (C), Garden Green (C), Blushing Bride (R), Real Red (C), Basic White (C)

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying Over, (M) Found in the Mini Catalog

Here’s a quick picture of the measurements so you can make your own treat holder.

First I need to give a quick shout out to Craft with Jayne as she shared the triangle treat holder and I just had to give it a try. These two projects feature the retiring country gingham DSP that I love along with the Flowers of Friendship stamp set and dies.

  • 155358 – Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set (R)
  • 155373 – Flowers & Leaves Punch (R)
  • 160388 – Country Gingham 6×6 DSP (R) (M)
  • 159183 – Stylish Shapes Dies (C)
  • 152525 – Lovely You Stamp Set (R)
  • 154289 – Opal Rounds (R)
  • 155475 – Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (C)
  • 159200 – Sweet Sorbet 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (C)
  • 158133 – Soft Succulent 1/2″ Satin Shimmer Ribbon (R)
  • 154893 – Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack (C)
  • 155521 – Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack (C)
  • Colors – Petal Pink (C), Soft Succulent (R), Sweet Sorbet (C), Basic White (C), Basic Black (C)

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying Over

Here are the measurements to create these easy gift holders. Remember that you are scoring not cutting to make this project. The measurement listed here are for the smaller treat box. If you watch my video below you can see the difference is size between the larger Rhino box and smaller Monkey box.

Now for a little bit of fun. I wanted to make a quick video so I could show you how easy these are to make, but I wanted to make it using new product so I had a little bit of fun with my pre-order. I will admit I did use one retiring product on these projects and that is the DSP for the Rhino project since I thought it worked so well with image. The Rhino’s are part of the online exclusive Rhino Ready Stamp Set and the large leaves are as well. The rest you will find in the new catalog and will be available to purchase on May 2, 2023.

Check out my video to see how fast and easy these projects are to make.
