The sketch design for these cards came from the Snowhaven Card Workshop On The Go from Close To My Heart. The inspiration to change the workshop up & use the Heartstrings papers and Forever In My Heart stamp set came from Theresa Morrow.

All the cards use the Value Pack, White Daisy card bases & envelopes. Each card has a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Kraft Cardstock sponged with Desert Sand Ink.

Other ink colors used are Cranberry, Lagoon & Whisper. I love how much fun the Red Shimmer Trim and Stuck On You Puffies add to the cards.

Aren't these little puffies so much fun?!!

This awesome stamp set, Forever In My Heart was so easy to work with. I love how it compliments the Art Philosophy Cricut Bundle. The images above that have a red line around them indicate that you can cut them with the cartridge & stamp on the pre-cut pieces~.

Here are the supplies I began with to create the Season's Tweetings Gift Bag Kit.

The kit comes with 3 Topiary chevron bags & 3 Ruby polka-dot bags, 9 die cut tags & a C Size stamp set.

I made 5 of the tags using the blending pen & ink pads for colouring but then I wanted to add a bit from the Sparkle & Shine Compliments Dimensional Elements so I used one of the chipboard tags from that set.  I inked the black using Archival Black so the colours wouldn't run together when I added them with the blending pen.  Any time I use dye, solvent inks, I always use Staz-On Cleaner so my stamps don't stain. To create the Season's Tweetings sentiment on the one tag, I used some tape to mask off from the stamp set the areas the I didn't want to get inky.  Then I took of the tape & stamped what I wanted to show.

The size of the items that fit comfortably in the bags is 2 3/4" in diameter & up to 4 1/2" tall.

I can't wait to give these pretty gift bags away for Christmas!
