Hogs and Kisses Valentine box & Free printable tag

With Valentines day a few short weeks away,  I was looking for a simple gift I could make for co-worker and friends.  I came across and idea with the saying Hogs and Kisses, I always love a pun or play on words.  I knew I wanted to create something with a pig on it.  I set off looking and found this cut file in the Silhouette design store.  If you search under pig or pig box your will see they have several designs.  I purchased this design and cut it using my personal cutting machine.  If you don’t have a cutting machine or want to purchase the cut file you can also use the free printable I created and tie it to a bag of Kisses.

Glue a black strip of card stock behind the snout and add a glue dot to the back of the snout, then attach to the face of the pig.
