Let's Make a Valentine Candy Bag with Memento and Delicata

by LeeAnn McKinney

I enjoy making candy bags as gifts, I created this style of bags for Christmas for both mine and my husbands co-workers, and here I am making them for Valentines Day as well. Using Memento inkpads and markers along with Delicata and VersaFine Clair, I created this fun candy bag with the help of a Lawn Fawn Stamp and My Favorite Things Stencil. Enjoy!

by Lisa Mensing

In this video, I’m heat embossing and doing a little ink blending today to create this fun take on a notecard, pun intended. I always like to keep note cards around especially this time of the year when a lot of people experience the after-holiday “blahs”.I think it’s nice to send them a little note reminding them that their not alone and I’m thinking about them. I’m going to get started by sharing a few of the products I’m using and a reference guide before I jump into making this card.
