Welcome to our first blog hop of 2021!! Thanks for hopping over here from Rachel's blog. I love everything she does! We had a chance to chat at Stampin' Up!'s large convention a few years back and she's an inspiration for sure.
For my card I knew I wanted to use the large scattered heart image to do some emboss resist and I think it turned out gorgeous! I added a Poppy Parade card base, half of a patterned card base to make the kit go farther, and then die cut with the Stitched Rectangles die a piece of Basic White cardstock. I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder the scattered hearts and then used a Blend Brush to add an ombre look with Pool Party on the front. Then I just stamped the LOVE in Memento Black ink on the bottom and made a little flag with one of the kit pieces with the YOU stamped in Poppy Parade. Stunning yes?

Now my 3D project was something I had in the mind the minute I saw the red envelopes in the kit! I knew I wanted to make a large treat bag from it and it is so easy!
I haven't done it in years, but you just seal the envelope up, score on three sides at 1/2 inch, and then trim the top with some pinking shears. Once you have those score lines you can crease them back and forth and the stick your hand inside the envelope to make the bag. Fold the two bottom corners into points and anchor those down with a glue dot. It helps to put something heavy in the bag, like chocolate (wink wink) to weigh it down!

Then on the front of the bag, I put one of the cute mailbox pieces, all stamped, and accessorized, plus I added some Just Jade grass with my Stampin Write Marker and a snail from the add-on kit. I punched two holes in the top to seal the bag and used a double piece of the included black riboon to tie a bow!
Don't forget to keep hopping along... I cannot wait to see what all my crafty friends have in store for us this month.
Happy crafting,
