Love Bites...

 

 

Hello everyone! I am so happy to be posting today for Jaded Blossom!

I cut the cassette card from the Silhouette Store. I added the rockin' sentiment from Valentine Treats and "Love Bites" is from the petal stamp Love Bites! How fun is it that there is an actual song by Def Leopard called Love Bites! (boy--I am showing my age! lol)

Here is the inside:

I added a pack of Pop Rocks! to the inside for a fun treat!

(I do not know where this SVG came from. I downloaded it years ago from someone's blog..and I do not remember who it was.

I apologize in advance.)   I used Jaded Blossom's SWEET BIRTHDAY WISHES stamp set for the sentiment and both of the FLAG DIE and FLAG DIE 2.   How fun is this hop!? Are you getting a blast from the past? :)   I also made Jamie a "J" in fun wild 80's zebra print! Added a touch of glittery tule and it is TOTALLY AWESOME!!
