Valentine Candy Bag | Stamping Bella

Hi all! Today I'm sharing how I made this Valentine Candy Bag featuring Bundle Girl with Falling Hearts. I'm a bit late with my Valentine's projects this year, but still in time to gift them! 

This super cute box in a bag is so simple to make and will hold all sorts of fun little gifts for Valentine's Day.


Supplies:
Love Sentiments rubber stamp set
Red card, white card
Designer paper (used: P13 - Sugar and Spice)
Distress Oxide Ink pad - Tumbled Glass
Scoring board and bone folder
Corner rounder
Oval Die - 2.5" x 1.5"
Circle Die - 2.75" & Scalloped Circle Die - 3"
Bow Die -1" x 1.25"
Crop-a-dile & eyelet/grommet
Twine

How to:
Stamp Bundle Girl with Falling Hearts and the Love Sentiment onto white card. Colour the image using your preferred medium and then cut out using the 2.75" circle die. 


Leaving the die in place, ink the background using Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink. 



Cut a 3" scalloped circle from red card and mat the image onto it. 
Set the image aside. 


For the inner box, cut one piece of card measuring 5.5" x 8". Score at 2" on all four sides. 


For the bag, cut two pieces of card measuring 4-1/8" x 6.5". Score on the 6.5" side at 1.5". 


On the long side, cut on the score lines up to the intersecting line. Repeat on all four score lines. 
Cut each of the four end sections down to approx 0.5", then taper the edges of them. 


Apply adhesive to the four 0.5" tabs and adhere to the inside of the long sides. 


Round the top corners of both bag pieces. 


Place the bag pieces on top of each other and cut an oval shape from the top, to make the handle. 


Apply adhesive to one of the 1.5" sections at the bottom and adhere on top of the other 1.5" section. 


Cut a 2 pieces of designer paper and adhere to the front and back. 


Turn the back to the inside and use the oval cut out on the card as a guide to cutting the paper. 


To get the bevel edge on the front, place the die over the oval at the front, and run it through the die cut machine again. 


Take the inner box and apply adhesive to the bottom. Adhere to the centre 1.5" section of the bag


Apply adhesive to each side of the box and then adhere the sides of the bag to them. 



Pinch in the sides of the box.



Decorate the front with paper layers and a heart border. 


Adhere the scalloped circle to the front using foam tape/dots. 


Cut the sentiment out using a pennant die. Leave enough room on the end to punch a hole. Add an eyelet/grommet. 


Cut out a bow using the die. 


Tie the sentiment tag onto the handles of the bag, and adhere the bow in the upper corner.
