Hello – it is Christine here today and I’ve been fortunate enough to craft with the very new 3D Foam Hearts. These are wondrous little beauties!
I decided to make a small gift bag, perfect for table favours or treat bags. These are ‘glassine’ bags and available from many craft outlets. I sliced a small portion off the top to make it straight.
To add interest I placed the bag inside an M-Bossabilities folder – Enchanted.
The pattern is embossed beautifully.
Using the new foam hearts, I removed the paper layer from a few of them and sprinkled over some embossing powder.
Tapped off the excess and then heat set with a heat gun. The foam withstands the heat and the result is truly lovely – enamel looking.
For more decoration I cut/embossed some Jewel Flowers and Flourishes, adhered them with my E-Z Dots® Permanent.
On the reverse side I placed a loop of twine secured with a 3D Foam Square.
I assembled my bag adding a little name tag and bird die cut.
Some close up pictures. The foam heart secures the little bag firmly.
Such a fun product to make and use.
Thank you for joining me today. Here is a list of the super sticky products I have used:

I love this bag Christine, it’s so pretty. What a clever idea to run it through the embossing folder. The hearts are really pretty too.
