Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- 2" x 4-3/4" of one pattern from Sweet Talk 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, if there is a directional pattern, cut so the pattern is vertical on the vertical rectangle
- 2" x 4-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2" x 2-1/2" of multicolored stripes on white background design from Sweet Talk 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the stripes are horizontal on the vertical rectangle
- 1-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Granny Apple Green Cardstock
Unlock the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. Slide one short edge of the white strip into the punch as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Leave the punch unlocked.
Slide one short edge of the long strip of Sweet Talk Designer Paper into the unlocked Delightful Tag Topper Punch as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch.
Mount the striped robot image from the Nuts & Bolts Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it near the top of the punched white tag.
Mount the set of two small outline hearts image from the Nuts & Bolts Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it just to the left of the stamped striped robot image at the top of the white tag.
Put the stamped tag on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends to color in the small heart and the top stripe on the robot.
Use the Real Red Stampin' Blends to color in the large heart and the 3rd stripe on the robot.
Use the Highland Heather Stampin' Blends to color in the 2nd stripe on the robot.
Use the Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends to color in the bottom stripe on the robot and his hat
Use the Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends to color in the top of the robot's head and his hands, feet, and tube legs and arms.
Use the Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends to color in the rest of the robot.
Use the Color Lifter Stampin' Blends as needed to remove excess color.
Adhere the small piece of Sweet Talk Designer Paper to the bottom of the stamped and colored white tag so the top is just below the robot's feet and the stripes are horizontal. Use Paper Snips Scissors if needed to cut off excess designer paper at the bottom of the tag.
Unlock the Tailored Tag Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the bottom of the stamped, colored, and layered white tag into the bottom punching area of the punch from inside the punching area. Get it centered side to side so you will punch a sharp angle at the bottom of the tag only. Punch. Leave the punch unlocked.
Slide the bottom of the designer paper tag into the unlocked Tailored Tag Punch in the same way. The bottom of the designer paper tag goes into the bottom punching area of the punch from inside the punching area. Get it centered side to side so you will punch a sharp angle at the bottom of the tag only. Punch. Leave the punch unlocked.
Adhere the white tag to the top of the designer paper tag at a slight angle as shown so the holes in the tops of the tags line up.
Mount the "I'm Nuts & Bolts About You" sentiment on Block C. Ink it up with the Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of one end of the horizontal Granny Apple Green strip leaving room to punch it out.
Holding the unlocked Tailored Tag Punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment punch out across the bottom of the white tag as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one small jewel from a sheet of Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the top of the robot's antenna.
Fill a 3" x 9" Printed Gusseted Cellophane Bag with treats.
Tie a length of Real Red 3/8" Faux Linen Ribbon around the bag just above the treats using a half knot.
Slide the tag onto one end of the ribbon. Tie in place with a half knot. Trim the ends of the ribbon.
