Are you in need of a quick last minute Valentine’s Day gift? Here’s a little something that you can make in about 10-15 minutes!

supplies used:
‘Circle of Love’ kit by Kellie Mize Designs
rose cardstock (Bazzill)
Nestabilities Label 8 dies (Spellbinders)
Big Shot (Ellison Design)
paper flowers in different sizes (various flowers from my stash)
cellophane bag
scissors
double sided ahesive
mini glue dots
staples
treats to put in the bag

How To’s:
1. Create your layout and print it slightly larger than the label die you want to use (size will depend on how large/small your cellophane bag is).

2. Put your label die on top of the patterned paper – tape it down to secure it (see picture) and run it through the Big Shot (Cuttlebug or whatever machine you have) to create a half label.

3. Take a coordinating piece of cardstock and lay the same label die you used before onto the cardstock. Trace around the OUTSIDE with a pencil and then cut it out with a pair of scissors or a craft knife

4. Take your half label of printed paper and adhere it to one half of the cardstock label you cut out in step 3:

5. Score the label in the center and fold it in half:

6. Now you can dress it up a little bit further.. I created my flower by layering three paper flowers of different sizes and colors together and then adhered it to the front with a glue dot:

7. Fill your cellophane bag with the treats and close the bag by stapling:

8. Adhere the topper that you created to the top (I used two strips of double-sided adhesive tape) and you’re done:

I hope this doesn’t look too complicated, because it really is NOT . It’s very quick and easy to do!
