I just love February....pretty sure I have already mentioned, a time or two, that it's my most favorite time of year to create for :). Today, the Reverse Confetti team has put together a fun blog hop...with a chance to win included as well! I created a Valentine pocket using my favorite Reverse Confetti supplies...lots of fun to put together.
I started by using the All Heart Cover Panel to create the front of my bag. I then cut a layer of vellum and adhered my cover panel to that, and then created a backside for my pocket using paper from the True Love 6x6 Paper Pad.
Before stitching my pocket layers together, I added a bit of pink tulle trim across the backside of the top portion of my pocket. Then came the embellishing. I created a circular pocket filled with flowers by using the Pop Up Circle Confetti Cuts. I die cut the bottom layer from Piggy Bank cardstock and then cut a half circle using the same die from white cardstock, stitching it around the edges to create a pocket.
My sentiment across the front of my circular pocket is from the Crazy About You stamp set and is stamped in Piggy Bank ink. I used flowers and leaves from the Blooms N' Buds stamp set along with hearts from the XOXO Hearts Confetti Cuts to create the fillings for my pocket.
I love how it plumps up when filled :).
It is wide enough to hold some chocolates, jewelry, gift card, notecard, etc. Mine of course contains chocolate...Dove milk chocolates to be precise.
Lastly, I attached some trim across the top to create a handle, using my hot glue gun to secure it in place.
There's plenty more inspiration waiting for you by following the blogs listed below, and be sure to stop by the Reverse Confetti blog to hear all about a chance to win! Thanks for stopping by!
