Bella Bleu Hanging Heart

Here's that Bella Bleu again. I found this idea on someone's blog awhile ago (sorry I don't remember whose). After seeing it, I HAD to buy the Petal Card Die for the Big Shot (also on the Retired Accessories List). This uses 2 die cuts, trimmed and put togther. I used Stampin' Up!'s Birds & Blooms sizzlet 4 pack to make the bird on the front. The labels are made with Stampin' Up!'s Lots of Tags sizzlet 4 pack. I also used Stampin' Up!'s large oval punch and scallop square punch. Isn't it great how the Elegant Thank You stamp can be used with so many different punches and dies? The mini cards are 2 1/2" square and fit inside the heart basket.

Bella Bleu Bag in a Box

This is one of my first Bag in a Boxes. They make great treat bags. I made a few of them at Christmas for Alex's teachers with candy and a gift card inside. I used the Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper here. I absolutely LOVE this paper. I think that is has a simple elegance. This DSP will be retiring this month. It had a good run, though. All of the colors in this paper series will continue in the new catalog with one little change. Kraft paper will soon be known as Crumb Cake. I am so excited about this. In July, we will offer a Crumb Cake ink pad and marker to coordinate with the cardstock!
