Now that I'm back from my long winter's nap….. I thought I'd better Hop to it!
The inspiration for this project came from having too many treat bags and Red Vines/Twizzlers after Christmas. I had to seal them up fast before I ate them all! I'm not usually a heart fanatic but I really wanted to use the new Framelits found in our newest Occasions Mini Catalog for something special. I think I've changed my mind. These thin dies are nothing short of FANTASTIC!
If you Look close and you'll see areas of the sentiment embellished with Dazzling Details.

The candy was slipped into 1"x8" Cellophane Treat Bags and topped off with punched photo corners. I think Cupid would be proud.
This project is 1/2" think and definitely should be sent in a padded envelope or personally delivered. The back can be signed, stamped or just left alone.
Want to see what I did with the back? It will be included it in my newsletter finally coming out on January 15th. Sign-up for the newsletter in the VIP section in the upper left corner.
