Today's SCS challenge was to make some kind of heart themed project, using red or shades of red. I made a little top note genie bag that would be perfect for holding small valentine treats.
The base of this genie bag consists of two chocolate chip top notes that are joined by a small pink paper bag which I purchased from Michael's. I had to trim the top part off the bag so that it would fit the top note diecuts. I used the large oval punch to punch handle shapes in the top of each top note.
I cut another top note from pink pirouette cardstock and trimmed off the perforated border. I stamped this mat with the flourish stamp from the Baroque Motifs set in pink pirouette ink. It was adhered to the front of my bag and punched with the large oval punch.
I inked the love heart stamp from the A Happy Heart set with chocolate chip craft ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder. I trimmed around the heart, leaving a pink pirouette border. I adhered this heart to chocolate chip cardstock and trimmed around it, leaving a chocolate chip border. I used dimensionals to adhere it the left side of my bag.
I stamped the "For You" sentiment from the Fresh Cuts set in chocolate chip ink. I used the small oval punch to punch the sentiment out. I adhered it to a larger oval punched mat. This matted sentiment was attached in the lower right corner of my bag. I tied a length of 5/8" chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon around the handles of my bag to complete it.
