Sweet Bee Valentine Treat Bags - Stampin' up! Bee My Valentine

   A while back one of my stamping ladies shared with me these adorable Designer Series Paper magnetic tabs that she had made.  I asked her all the details and saved them away for later.   I've been using the tabs in my planner to quickly find different sections but they could be used for bookmarks too or any sort of tab that you need.  I thought they might be fun as treat bag toppers so I ordered the magnets and watched Lolly Palooza's video showing how to put them together and then made a whole bunch for Valentine's day treats for my stampers at my last class.

  I got little glassine treat bags at Michaels and filled them with chocolates.  I was able to fit 5 Dove chocolates and 2 Lindt chocolates in each bag.  I coordinated the bag to match the tab using the same DSP.  I used 2 patterns from the Bee Mine DSP and these little hearts from the Sale-A-Bration Most Adored DSP.

 

  I think I made about 22 of the magnetic tabs and they really came together quite quickly when I set up assembly line style.  The Tacky Glue glue I had on hand wasn't the easiest to work with because it was quite old and was really hard to squeeze out of the tube but seemed to adhere just fine as I didn't have the glue used in the video and I was too lazy to head back out to the craft store lol!

  The bees were all stamped with the Bee My Valentine stamp set and punched with the coordinating Bee Builder punch.  Get these 2 products as a bundle to save 10%, more money for candy then!  The finished bees are popped on the top of the tab with dimensionals.

  I had a lot of fun making these for my stampers and the magnetic click of the tab closing is just kind of satisfying!  I loved being able to make them a treat and having a part of it continue to be used as a bookmark.  Maybe some of the bees are marking special pages in their Stampin' Up! catalogs??

  Thanks to Virginia for sharing the idea and Lolly for making the original how to video!!
