Guest Designer Ruthie with Valentine's Door Hanger

Happy Friday!

Hey paper lovers! Today is day five and my last day, as guest designer, here on Obsessed with Scrapbooking! I have had so much fun this week, sharing my Valentine treat ideas's with you. I hope you were inspired! It's been an honor to have been asked to do this and I want to thank Joy, for all the fun that I have had this week.

Today's project is a door hanger treat.

I designed everything on my Gypsy. I sized the door hanger from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to 11 1/4" tall and the inset (patterned) piece was sized at 10 1/4" tall. I only used the back potion, so I placed it on the mat so that the back potion was the only part on the mat, hence it was the only part that cut out. I also hid the circle and replaced it with a circle at was 1 1/4", it needs to be larger. I also sized one square, from George Basic Shapes, at 3"x 2 3/4" (front piece) and two at .625"x 2 3/4" (side pieces). The "Be Mine" from the Cricut Artiste cartridge was sized to 2 1/2"x 1 1/4 and cut out. Lastly, the XL label dies were cut out, everything was inked, assembled, the twine wrapped around the pocket.

I filled the pocket with goodies from the $1 stop at Target and some hand lotion from Bath and Body Works. I attached the lips, lip gloss with a glue dot. I didn't want it to get lost in the pocket.
