Today I wanted to share with you 2 really fun projects made with new products from the Stampin Up Occasions catalog! 

My projects use the All About Love Designer Series Paper, the Meant to Be stamp set and the colors Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White and a pop of Balmy Blue.

 I couldn't be happier with my little treatbag. I think it showcases LOVE perfectly!  I used the Giftbag Punchboard to make the bag. I cut the DSP 10x6 and followed the instructions to make a small back. I did not add the holes to the top of the bag. But I did add a little flap that secures with Velcro. I chose to keep the flap the same as the DSP, but you could use a solid color cardstock too! The flap is 2 3/4"x4". I just secured it on the back side with Tombow and to secure the closure I used a vecro dot.

To decorate the front of the bag, I used the new Be Mine Framelits in the new Occasions catalog. I layered the colors of Flirty Flamingo, Lovely Lipstick, Balmy Blue and Whisper White. I cut 2 of each out as I will used the second set when making the coordinating card.

The card was my favorite to make. I used the same sheet of DSP but the reverse side! I had purchased the new Rectangle Stitched framelits during my preorder and was so happy to be able to incorporate them into the card. I used the 2 largest rectangles and layered Lovely Lipstick and Flirty Flamingo to the front of a Whisper White cardbase. I added a strip of the new Lovely Lipstick foil paper that  you can earn for free in the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. I added a Valentine Greeting  to finish the card!
​Super Easy and Super Fast!!!
