Box of Love...


Happy Wednesday!

Now I know today isn't Saturday and so it really shouldn't be a box but why not! lol

Now there are two ways to make this, the easier one is using a Sizzix die which cuts the pieces Click HERE to see the Sizzix option .

The other way is to hand or die cut two hearts and use the technique for making circular box´s (there will be a tutrorial for this from me however I know the tutorials are stcking up!)



The box is made in a basic red PMD cardstock then the patterned paper from My minds Eye is cut to the same size, inked and struck over.

I decorated the top quite simply with a strip of ribbon, a bow and some of Wendy's beautiful hatpins.  I thought, as I cant keep using chocolates as I eat them all, that the box would be perfect for the hatpins to go in so that's how I photographed it.





The finished measurements are about 12 cm x 12 cm so its a decent sized box that holds quite a few choccies!

Postscript - I have actually written a tutorial for this box,  it should go live next Tuesday...

Enjoy...
