Valentine's Day Gifts and Crafts for Kids

It's Emily Leiphart here and today I'm sharing the Valentine's Day gifts I made for my son to hand out to his classmates. I used the gorgeous new Tag Stitched Die that the kids can reuse as a bookmark or hang on their backpacks. The hamster from Party Posse is stamped on coordinating Posse Icons Dies.

The sweet sentiment on the tag is from Love Struck. The instructions on the gift bag were customized with the awesome new Mini Monograms stamp set which is the February 2014 TAM set. This means it's yours FREE with a qualifying purchase of $60 or more in the Paper Smooches Online Store!

For the crafty part of the gift, I used the superhero from Super on its coordinating Super 1 Dies and a sentiment from Cuteasaurus.

See how it all came together here:



Thanks so much for watching!
