It's blog hop time! Yay! I am so excited to be here with all my Gallery Idol friends for a Valentines Day hop! If you are following along on the hop, you have made it here from Dana Warren's blog!
I have a fun little Valentine project here for you today! A card and a gift bag!
First off here is my card....
I used a Lil' Inkers Stitched Rectangle along with a Avery Elle sentiment. As you can see, I masked off the heart from the stamp and added in a little wooden heart.
I took it a step further and made my card into the decoration for a gift bag. If you missed my announcement yesterday, check it out HERE! I have these dies available, that will turn your card into the decoration for your gift bag! (All my Dies sold out! Check back soon!)
Now for another fun part! Giveaways! I have 2 fabulous giveaways from 2 fabulous companies! First off, CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is giving away one of their BRAND NEW sets from this February Release. It's called Beanstalks and its adorable! Check out all these amazing sentiments....
