You Are Loved Heart Pouch

I wanted to thank the wonderful ladies that came to my home yesterday for the first meeting of our Stamp Club!  What a lovely way to spend the afternoon. 
For those of you not able to attend, I wanted to share the projects we made.

For this heart pouch, we first cut out two hearts from the Bigz L Petal Cone die in Real Red and ran one of them in the Perfect Polk Dots embossing folder.  We also cut out the scallop and banner shapes from that same die in Whisper White.  With some sticky strip, we attached to two hearts together to make this wonderful pouch.  The handle is made from a strip of Whisper White for the background cut at 1" wide and the Large Lace Ribbon Border punch in Pink Pirouette.  The punch is retired, but you can still get one while supplies last on the Clearance Rack at a great price!

The heart image was stamped in Real Red on to Whisper White and cut out with paper snips.   Then we punched out 3 scallop circles from Pink Pirouette and layered them around the outside of the heart.   There are two small gaps from the scallop circles, but we are able to hide those with our sentiment stamped in Real Red on the banner.  The heart and banner are popped out with dimensionals to give it some depth.  Finally, we added some red glitter paper punched out with the small scalloped punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and the smallest heart from the Hearts Collection Framelets and some hearts in Pink Pirouette from the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits.  I love how they emboss and cut all that the same time!  Finally, we dressed it all up with Rhinestone Basic Jewels and a bow of 5/8" Organza Ribbon.

Stay tuned for the two card projects we made, also using the stamp set You Are Loved.
Thanks for looking!
