Simple Sweet Treats for Paper Players #181

Hello there! This week at the Paper Players, I am hosting our new challenge! I wanted to focus on the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday with a little twist. This week, it's all about Valentine's Day cards or 3-D projects with a food or treat theme. I hope you have some fun with our "Sweet Treat" theme and play along this week.

For my project I decided to share an idea I had for some quick and easy Valentine's treat bags.  Although my project isn't over-the-top, I think it is practical. Let's be honest, a lot of us (myself included) just don't have a lot of time to spare these days. But it doesn't mean we can't create fun projects for gifts. Stampin' Up has some great new products that I used the Tag a Bag Gift Bags and elements from the Happenings Simply Created Card kit to create this card and gift bag. The sentiment is from the Geometrical stamp set and I had a piece of Natural Chevron Ribbon sitting on my desk that I added to the card at the last minute. It matched the treat bag perfectly and I love how it ties the card and bag together.
The gift bag is filed with Hershey Kisses. I don't know many people who would say no to chocolate treats, so I figured it would be a safe choice. :) I simply sealed the bag with a piece of Washi Tape. Nothing fancy. I love how the bags are already pre-printed with the chevron design, as well. It's super easy to just add a few elements to dress them up. There are 10 in a pack, so I was able to easily create Valentine's for friends and co-workers. 
Please join us over at the Paper Players The challenge is open through Friday, February 7th, 2014 at Noon (PDT). Stop by and say hello to the rest of the Design Team to see what they are sharing this week.
