Love Bug Gift Box

I am a very proud member of Tracy's design team over at Craft Junkie Too.  Tracy asked her design team to share a "What's Love Got to do With it" project. We were asked to make a gift bag, party favor, treat bag, box, (for a valentine party or gift) and incorporate the word LOVE in it. :)

I re-used an old vitamin container. I cut a strip of red paper at 4" x 12" and used a Martha Stewart Punch to both the top and bottom. 

I used mylar filler (from the Dollar Tree) and filled the jug. You can easily tuck lots of little chocolates, money, small toys or other treats inside the filler.

I used a Bow Easy to tie my bow (there is no way I'd get it that perfect on my own).

The Ladybug is from Doodlecharms (cut at 3"). I added white and pink gel pen

 "stitches", Glossy Accents and a Action Wobble finish off the ladybug.

I tied some white craft twine to buttons and glued

 then to the bottom of my recycled vitamins jug.

The word "love" is from Simply Sweet.  I added gel pen accents

and glossy accents to the center of the heart.

I added lots of gel pen accents to the border punch.

Please jump over to Tracy's blog at Craft Junkie Too and join in on her challenge.  Have some fun with one of my favorite crafters... she'd love to see what you come up with.
