Fish Bowl Valentine's

I wanted to do something a little different for my daughter's Valentine's this year. We decided we wanted to do some kind of treat, but she has a few classmates with severe nut/milk allergies, so we were a little bit limited. No worries! Spending way too much time on Pinterest always yields good ideas :) I saw these and these, and decided to combine the two to make our own. I did change things up a bit. Originally I was going to just buy a few large bags of Swedish Fish and put several Swedish Fish in the bags loosely. But then when I decided to use the inks, I thought it might not be a good idea to have something intended to be edible, rubbing up against ink. So I went the expensive route and cleaned out the individual servings of Swedish Fish at the local Target :)

Supplies List:
Cricut
Create A Critter cartridge
Cuttlebug
D'Vine Swirl (embosser)
Tiny Bubbles (embosser)

Swiss Dots (embosser)
Various cardstock
Brilliance Ink Pads in copper, platinum, and gold
ink swabs

various craft glues
Clear, rounded bottom favor bags
hole punch (for tags)
paper cutter (for tags, which I printed)
curling ribbon
scissors (for curling ribbon)
2 oz bags of Swedish Fish

• The first thing I did was determine the appropriate size that would fit in the rather odd shaped bag with a narrow opening :)
• I cut out the fishbowls using white cardstock.
• Using a pretty shade of blue, I cut out the 'water' feature.
• Using the Cuttlebug and the D'Vine Swirl embosser, embossed each piece of the water feature.
• Using platinum ink and ink swab, gently swiped over each swirl, to add dimension and shimmer.
• Using a sandy colored paper, cut out the 'sand' feature.
• Using the Cuttlebug and the Tiny Bubbles embosser, embossed each piece of the sand feature.
• Using copper ink and ink swab, gently swiped over many of the bubbles, to add dimension and shimmer.
• Cut out sea weed.
• Cut out various sizes and colors of fish.
• Using the Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots embosser, embossed some of the fish.
• Using gold ink and ink swab, gently swiped over some of the dots on some of the fish.
• Glued everything together using various craft glues.
• Inserted each one into the bag, and carefully folded in half the 2 oz bags of Swedish Fish and put on the opposite side (where only the white card stock was visible).
• Using a label-making template, created the tags, and cut them out using a paper cutter.
• Hole punched each tag.
• Attached the tag to the bag using curly ribbon.
