This simple Valentine treat bag just goes to show what you can do with 5 minutes, some My Stickease stickers and some ribbon.   

 
This would make a great bag to collect valentines at school, package some treats for your child, hide a gift for your someone special, or just to let someone know that you care enough to take the time to package something for them in an extra special wrapper!  The most important thing is to just have fun with it.  Happy Valentines Day!

Exclusive Inks Stamp Pads 
 
Close To My Heart Exclusive Inks stamp pads have been one of the most widely used and loved inks available in the stamping and scrapbooking industry. Our basic ink formulation has sold in the millions of pads and has remained fundamentally unchanged for over a decade. You can share this commitment to quality and versatility with your customers, and SEE it in scrapbook pages produced years and years ago that remain as color-true and vibrant as the day they were originally stamped. With proper care, your stamped images and projects will last-beautifully-for decades.

Ours is a dye-based ink, which we chose because of its incredible versatility as a multi-purpose craft ink. The benefits of our ink are that it cleans easily off stamps; it is quick drying; it is ideal for base and shade stamping and other techniques, like blending, that require a water-based ink. Our ink stamps well on a variety of papers, seldom requires heat or embossing to set the ink, doesn't "separate" inside the pad as some pigment-based varieties can, and the pad stays moist and fresh for years when properly stored.

The fact is that no ink is 100% fade-proof when subjected to light. The vast majority of dye-based inks are water based, which makes it impossible for them to be "water-resistant." Our products are manufactured to the highest standards, and they are rigorously and regularly tested both in-house and by third-party entities for quality. That the reviews did not accurately capture these important facts is unfortunate. We stand by our Exclusive Inks products as innovative and proven, "field tested" by hundreds of thousands of happy customers who continue to create legacy projects with our quality products.
