 Hi everyone, Marianne Espresso Press Design. Welcome. Thank you for stopping by on this cloudy, lightly snowy January day. Today we're gonna make some pocket hearts, but first the usual show and tell, and I forgot to do my thank yous last time, so I have them here. Thank you, Hajer, Susan, Bev, Patty and Debbie, Dory, Kelly, Sylvia, Barbara and Robin. Thank you so much for your purchases and your kind reviews. I have some new products out last week. I have some ATC cards, I think four pages and some corresponding teapot paper. It's a little rustic, a little whimsical, just kind of cute. I have a spring florals with these beautiful yellow ivory peach green, very very light and airy papers. I have some miscellaneous drugist labels, I think five pages. This is ten pages. The teapots are ten pages and I have these new Boho print florals, ten pages, so I had a busy week. So today I, if I was smart, I would have used scraps, but I would have used these scraps, but these Victorian florals I think are so pretty, they were kind of crying out to me to do something with them. So this is what I chose for my heart pockets. I can't remember if they're called pocket hearts or heart pockets. And I made two, and this one is a little hanging one, like so, and it's layered. And this one is a smaller one, just made with a die. And oh, I wanted to show you this. This is something I made a long time ago for my daughter for Valentine's. And you can just take those candy box hearts and decoupage on them. I used to save them. And then one year I did a whole bunch of decoupage on them. So that's a nice little thing to do for Valentine's. But these hearts, you can make them out of anything. This is some jelly print. And these are just some I did out of book page to see if it would work. I used to die for some. And I have them cut out here. This is going to be a very quick demonstration because they're so easy. Some I made with a template, the larger ones, because I don't have a large heart die. I wish I did, because hearts are a motif you can use any time. So I use a lot of hearts. The first layer I did on packaging. So you'll need some packaging, some glue, and you'll need two hearts. And one is on packaging and one is just on paper because it's going to get folded. So I have some already cut out here. This is not going to take very long at all. And I thought I would kind of mix and match these papers. Maybe I should have done a little pattern. Now I don't know if this is how you make these. It seems like I saw people using some kind of template. And I wanted to do it last year, but I didn't get around to it. So I was just thinking the other day, why can't you just put another heart upside down and fold it over. And that's what I did. And it worked. So that's how I'm doing them, rather than looking for a template. So I'm just going to line these up with the point. Point to point. And then so I knew where to put my glue. I just drew a little line. And then because this is just copy paper, just used a glue stick. It's not going to go anywhere. I lined it back up like that. And then I folded over the two sides. Decided which one I wanted on the front. And then put a little glue. It glows nearing the end. It's a little lumpy. Okay, if you hear my husband, he must be on the phone. Okay, so there's one. See how easy that was. And then I just, I made a larger one. I cut my heart larger. And then I, you can either trim around the back. Or what I did was I did it kind of like when you did take a plush. And I just filed. So it got nice and smooth with the edge of the packaging. And that's how I trimmed my paper to get around that heart perfectly. And then I put a little lace behind the top one. And it's raised a little bit. Both of those could have probably been put under a book. But super simple. Then I'm just going to fill the pockets. And then I'll probably just keep these in my idea file because I don't know if I need anything else for Valentine's this year. So I don't forget. So then of course you can use them as a loose pocket. You can use them as a tuck as well. Then you have two. You'll want to be mindful of your pattern if you're using a pattern paper. But with this one, it really didn't matter how I meant for that to be. Am I using the same paper? No I'm not. Okay. I'm just going to say I meant to change that paper up a little bit. Maybe I should have used a pattern for the pocket or a book page or something. But I thought well it's Valentine's. More is more. I also could have outlined it with my pen. So there's the little heart. And then I have a bunch of little hearts and things to put in there. Let me make sure I have my stapler here. You could put a little hole and hang them. So I think I have a bunch of little pieces here. Let me see if I have any on packaging. I saved every little piece of this because it's so pretty. I have a little tag here. I made two little tags. It goes in there. A little label. Where did my ladies go? I've got a pile of ladies here. Portraits. Oh here they are. Though they might try to tuck one of those in there. Hopefully I'm still in frame. So basically I just made a little cluster and I kind of don't want to lose her flowers. But so let me see. One lady or just another set of tags once she's kind of in blue. I won't have to worry about losing her flower. So let me see if I can get her arranged on a couple little tags here. And then I glued mine in. Of course you can have this as a loose pocket. I don't know about that either because she's not facing the camera. I don't know. I think they're getting a little too tucked in. Maybe I could put something on the front. Yeah it would be better. Oh well I'm not going to try a little bird. That's not bad. Yeah I kind of like the little bird. I put him on a couple labels. I hate losing flowers. But whatever. I think I'm just going to go with three little things and then I can I don't want to lose those flowers. Let me just string these up. I should have made some more buttons. That's what I should have did. These are cute and quick. I'm sure if you made them big enough, large enough you could put a tea in there or a chocolate. And they're a little little dimensional as well. That's cute. These are so pastel. I would have loved to fabric like this. My daughter was a baby for her nursery. That's why I love these papers. And I don't usually go for this pretty frilly stuff, but this really appealed to me. I thought they were so pretty. Okay let me get one more little thing in there. There's another little tag. Those are both the same. I'm trying to look for my scraps that are on packaging so they're a little more stable. I might have to make something else with blue. Let me just see if I can just put a little heart on there. And then I'll call that one done. Okay I'm just going to staple these at the bottom. That did not staple right. In fact that didn't go through at all. And it broke the staple. What the heck? Try that again. I'm just putting new staples in here. What is going on? Okay I went to glue. Time for a stapler repair. That was my mom's stapler. Swing line in that it was Bakelite. It's ancient. My mom was a secretary so she had to have good equipment. Eventually the Bakelite crumbled. But I still use it. It does another staplers all around the house. Okay I'm just going to put a little heart on there. Call that one done. Not hide all my beautiful flowers. Put that in there. So I have three things. And let me see if I can get some blue going on. So I don't have it all. So it stands out a little bit. Okay what's this? Well that might work. It probably will. Let me trim this. I still have some things on there. I was just trying to use every little piece of screw out to make these. Of course you fill them. How you desire. Look at that pretty flower. That's why I kept every little piece. Make some tags there. There's a pretty rose. Then something of that. You could make these out of anything. Mixed media. Oh I wanted that to be uh let me see what I can get out of there. Well probably a tiny tag. Okay that little flower. Of course I will. I could get a little circle out of that maybe. Okay little rose. Little rose. Little blue. I like that one. So I'm going to use my teeny tiny. I need glue. And another. Let's do this one. Okay that didn't turn out right. That needs a repair. Okay three little holes. Twenty eight. Go right through that rose but okay string. I need another one. It doesn't want to go through. Okay tiny string. Here we go. Little tiny tag. I'm going to put these over here because I don't want to lose that grouping. On the other side definitely want this pretty blue flower. These are so simple. I was going to do a paper bead idea today but I wasn't sure. I have to kneel down the tutorial on how to do this special kind of knot. I was thinking of doing a new charm and then I remembered these and I meant to learn how to do them last year and I didn't have time. So all those are so pretty with those. Just beautiful flowers. If you're a romantic, I think I have two other two other sets of similar to get finished as well. More vibrant but just as beautiful. That's cute. Okay though I wish I had a decent heart punch. Many one but it's so hard to rarely use it. I think I might just put a little square on there. A set of a heart. Yes I think I will even though it's the same flower. I don't know maybe or should I just put another tag and that's the same flower too. Do I have another little? Well that's kind of cute. It's a different flower. It needs glued. I don't know if I'll get this in my punch. It'll be too small. That's pretty. The little, let me see. Oh they turned out wonky Y. Did I put it in the wrong one? Cut that again. Okay you're just going to be a little square rectangle. Okay two little tags. Those are glued already. Put these on this side. I was also trying to avoid covering the V in the heart so it's kind of trying to avoid that. You could put a little book, a little tiny book in there. That would be cute. So I just have three little pieces of stuff. Okay get these out of the way. I sort of have all those little scraps. Oh my that is so pretty. This paper is just gorgeous. I could have used that. That would have worked. Oh well let me get a white paper here. One, two, three, four. Okay everyone there's your little hanging one layered and your easy pocket hearts. Okay I hope you found that helpful. If you need some quick little stuffers for your Valentine's journal I'm quite sure these will work. Okay thanks for your time everyone. I'll see you next time. Bye.
