Harlequin Hearts & Valentine Treat Wraps
Hello! This release came out just before Christmas, and if your life is at all like mine, it was a little busy. But now, I can shift focus to showing off more of the new To Love release from Simon Says Stamp. (See the whole release here.)
This post is sharing a couple of treat wraps for the winter and upcoming valentine’s season. Both are really simple to make, but make the recipient feel extra-special.
Techniques:
My goal for this pattern was low contrast, but brights in similar value. I stamped in bright red ink on magenta cardstock. I scored and folded it to fit my candy bar, and used double-sided adhesive where it overlapped on the back side to adhere it together.
I left mine act as a sleeve over the candy bar, but you could add additional adhesive inside the wrap so it sticks in place.
Adding letters in bright white provides great contrast. Layering the letters adds some nice dimensional interest. I centered them vertically within a row of hearts, and centered them around one of the vertical lines.
Tying it with red and white baker’s twine adds another detail and pattern, and ties in the red and the white.
Techniques:
For this one I used the same stamp, but stamped it in Nectar ink on a light pink cardstock, and trimmed it to fit the width of the cocoa packet I had.
After scoring that treat topper, I added double sided adhesive along the bottom of both inside flaps. This is how I attached it to the cocoa and the mini marshmallows I’d put in a tiny bag.
I die cut the sentiment and glued it together, adding a second shadow layer to make it sturdy since I was using it as a loose tag. I found a good spot to punch a small hole in it (I used a .125” punch, which is the same as 1/8”.) and tied it on with some baker’s twine.
A few more hearts added on in the magenta and light pink colors visually connect the pieces together.
Thank you for visiting!
Stay tuned for more fun inspiration over the next few weeks.
