Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #608: Hearts of Elegance

Good morning,

It's the week leading up to Valentine's of course I'm still crafting and sharing.  Today I'm sharing the cute gifts I made for my son's roommates for this weeks Paper Craft Crew weekly challenge.  One of the items that was released when the Hearts of Elegance bundle and all the associated awesomeness was the Gift Bag Combo Pack which had 2 sizes of bags (8 each) which were perfect for gifting.  I used the smaller bags on this project (he does have 6 roommates and these bags held quite a bit of chocolate which of course is always a hit!).

In crafting these treats I added a piece of the Marbled Elegance Speciality Designer Series Paper and matted it with Basic Black cardstock.  For one of the designs I wrapped a piece of Black & Very Vanilla 3/8" Large Checked Ribbon and the other design used a bow tied with Gold 1 1/2" Open Weave Trim.  Other than the ribbon everything else on both designs is the same.

Finishing off the bag the greeting is from the Hearts of Elegance stamp set and was stamped on Basic White cardstock and cut out with one of the heart dies from the Hearts of Elegance dies.  I used the same dies to cut the black heart which is stitched around the edge and attached with dimensionals.  The final touch was to add a couple Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins.

I love how these turned out and hope the boys enjoy them as well, being away from home it's always nice to get a little surprise in the mail.  Make sure to check out the other projects the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.
